Rep. James Comer didn’t mince words after the latest release of Epstein-related files, blasting Democrats’ performative outrage and even saying that Adam Schiff “makes me want to vomit.” Enough is enough — when conservative investigators uncover documents, the left screams about process; when revelations touch their allies, they pivot to protection and denial. That hypocrisy is what Comer was calling out, and Americans should be furious about the double standard.
The reaction from Democratic leaders and their media cheerleaders has been predictable: immediate moral grandstanding without any real interest in accountability. They posture for the cameras while insisting investigations stop the moment inconvenient names surface, proving once again that the political theater matters more to them than justice does. Comer’s disgust is a deserved rebuke to a party that weaponizes outrage when convenient and buries it when it isn’t.
This isn’t about partisan scorekeeping — it’s about whether the system treats powerful people the same as everyone else. Too many on the left treat subpoenas and document releases as tools to be brandished against opponents while shielding allies from scrutiny. Comer’s push for transparency is the only sane response: follow the paper trail, interview witnesses, and let subpoenas run their course, without newsroom-driven interventions derailing the work.
Adam Schiff’s televised histrionics are emblematic of a broader problem: liberals who demand accountability for others but act as a firewall for their side. When a congressman wails and preens on TV, it’s not leadership — it’s distraction. Comer’s blunt language reflects a larger frustration on Capitol Hill: the American people deserve sober, methodical investigations, not cable-news tantrums.
Republicans should not cede the mantle of decency or seriousness to the left; they should double down on procedure, transparency, and relentless pursuit of facts. Comer’s refusal to be cowed by the media outrage machine is the model Republicans must follow if they want real results instead of headlines. Let the files be examined, let witnesses speak under oath, and let justice — not partisan optics — be the outcome.
At the end of the day, our institutions survive only if they’re equal-opportunity enforcers of the law. If Democrats keep treating investigations as political theater, trust in those institutions will erode even further. Lawmakers on both sides should listen to Comer’s warning: quit the grandstanding, respect victims, and let the facts fall where they may.
