The Maryland Democrat took issue with GOP lawmakers suggesting the president had accepted bribes from China, and Raskin demanded that Comer hold an impeachment vote immediately if Republicans had any evidence that Biden had taken bribes or committed any other crimes – and the "Morning Joe" host offered up one of his favorite allusions about the inquiry.
"It got so bad, it got so bad [that] Comer, when he couldn't answer the question, 'Name the crime, name the crime,' it got so bad, if we turn the mic up, you would have heard Arnold the Pig, who is Comer's legal counsel, say, 'Screw you guys, I'm going home,'" Scarborough said, referring to the porcine character from the 1960s sitcom "Green Acres," along with a bonus reference to one of the cartoon character Eric Cartman's favorite phrases in "South Park."
Scarborough then compared the insinuations of impropriety toward Biden and his family to the hard evidence of shady dealing by Donald Trump and his family.

"It was so embarrassing," Scarborough said. "It is a stupid question, 'What do the Bidens do? What do the Bidens do?' Listen, they're talking about -- what are they talking about? A couple million dollars here, right? They never talked about the $2 billion that Jared [Kushner] got from the Saudis. Never, never talked about that before. He's never been in investment before, he got $2 billion from the Saudis. Listen, it's not illegal, okay, so it's not illegal. He did it, that's fine. What Hunter Biden did we've seen is not illegal. They can't find the crime."
"It's crazy," Scarborough added. "Again, the fact that they keep drumming this up, they keep making fools of themselves, even Fox News and other right-wing, pro-Trump outlets are saying, 'Stop, you're making a fool of yourself.' It doesn't stop him from doing it. Again, $2 trillion for the Trump family family, $3 million divided, like, I don't know how many ways. Biden didn't even get the $3 million, versus $2 billion. I mean, it's crazy that they're still dragging this out. Comer still is okay with making a fool of himself because he can't name a single crime. It's just like [Homeland Security secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas – no crime, no misdemeanor. no impeachment. It was all just political garbage. That's the same thing here – political garbage. because they got nothing. Every time they tried to confront Hunter Biden, he makes a fool of them."
