Rep. Moskowitz Has Hilarious Response To Comer Calling Him ‘A Smurf’

If you thought Rep. Jared Moskowitz was nursing any hurt feelings after being told he looks like “a Smurf,” by the House Oversight Committee chairman during a hearing last week, think again.

In fact, Moskowitz delivered one funny smackdown against Chairman Comer after another. “Well, first of all, I'm happy to know he knows his primary colors,” Moskowitz told interview host Ben Meiselas. Moskowitz acknowledged he had been wearing a blue suit and blue tie but he called Comer’s remark “an insight into his childhood mind.”

“Quite frankly, he could have called me lots of worse things,” Moskowitz said.

If anything, Moskowitz saw the moment as a victory for himself, a minority freshman getting the goat of a powerful committee chairman. In case you missed it, Moskowitz confronted Comer over a report he loaned his brother $200,000, while in office, despite working to impeach President Biden for loaning his brother the same amount while out of office.

“When he stopped my time. I was like, ‘Oh, God, he took the bait.’” Moskowitz said. Comer could have dismissed Moskowitz’s remarks and refused to engage, “but no, no, no, couldn’t help himself.”
