Jim McGovern ripped Republicans with a line about cults.
Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) on Tuesday taunted Republicans with the insult they often use to mock Democrats who they believe are obsessed with criticizing former President Donald Trump.
During a House Rules committee hearing, McGovern contrasted the GOP’s flailing response to Trump’s hush money conviction to Democrats’ more measured reaction to Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, being found guilty on three counts of illegally possessing a gun in 2018.
And the lawmaker concluded: “The only Trump Derangement Syndrome going on around here is on the other side of the aisle.”
“I mean, people are saying that Biden orchestrated the conviction of his own son in order to justify the criminal charges against Trump,” he noted.
“That is how you think when you are in a cult,” McGovern continued. “So, here’s the bottom line. Republicans just can’t wrap their heads around the idea that their presidential candidate, your presumptive nominee, is a convicted felon.”
