WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today during an Oversight Committee hearing, Republican Chairman James Comer threatened to use armed force to remove Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-FL) from the committee for calling Donald Trump a “Grifter-in-Chief.”

Frost, who was appointed to serve on the Oversight Committee, was calling out Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks on working people and the dismantling of important federal programs Americans rely on.

In a statement, Rep. Frost says:

“James Comer, Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace, and all the Republican members of the MAGA cult spent all of last year throwing insults and false claims against then-President Biden and his family. But the minute Democrats try to hold Donald Trump accountable for trying to rip Social Security, Medicare, and SNAP from working people – they rush to get in line to see who can defend Daddy Trump the best.

“Donald Trump is a grifter, he lied to the American people to get back inside the White House. And Elon Trump is his puppeteer. They are openly using their public offices to enrich themselves and their already-rich friends.

“James Comer can hide behind the Sergeant in Arms and have me removed and arrest me if he wants to. But that’s not going to stop me from calling out Donald Trump and his bullshit.”
