Democratic Maryland Rep. Kweisi Mfume held up a sign reading “Where Is Rudy ?” as he yelled about the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden in the middle of the House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday.

House Democrats have motioned to cast floor votes to subpoena the former lawyer of former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and Lev Parnas to testify before the committee. Giuliani and Parnas both arranged interviews with former Ukraine prosecutors about President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

“Thank you Mr. Chairman, and I reclaim my time and I ask the question, where in the world is Rudy Giuliani?” Mfume asked while holding up the sign. “That’s how we got here, ladies and gentlemen. And this committee is afraid to bring him before us and bring him on the record! Shame! And the question was raised, what does this have to do with it. It has everything to do with it.”

Giuliani obtained a hard drive copy of the infamous laptop belonging to the president’s son that had been abandoned in a Delaware repair shop in 2019 and gave the copy to the New York Post ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Big Tech and the corporate media suppressed the Post’s story on the laptop and branded reports on the computer as “Russian disinformation.”

Mfume claimed Biden did nothing wrong and that the impeachment inquiry into a possible influence-peddling scheme is a distraction from focusing on the real issues facing Americans. (RELATED: Comer: Hunter Biden Was Copied On Government Emails Pertaining To Ukraine While Biden Was VP) 

“Why in the hell are we playing this game? Why don’t we be honest? If it were so important, it could wait. This is what is important,” Mfume said. “Protecting this government and protecting the people who pay taxes here. But we want to play games with all of this. So where is Rudy Giuliani right now? I’d like to know, and I’d like to know why we can’t bring him before this committee like we brought these witnesses and everybody else.”

Tensions boiled over at the start of the hearing as Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin motioned for the first floor vote on whether to subpoena Giuliani and Parnas. Republican Kentucky Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the Oversight Committee, cast disinterest in issuing the subpoenas and assured Raskin there would be plenty of evidence presented during the hearing.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
