Kamala Harris swears in top Dem on committee probing Biden as chairman urges her testimony
Fox News ^ | 8/23/25 | Elizabeth Elkind

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee was sworn into his new leadership role earlier this week by former Vice President Kamala Harris – one of the key ex-White House officials the panel’s chair is interested in hearing from in its probe of President Joe Biden.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., was elected to serve as ranking member of the committee in June, following the death of former ranking member Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va.

Harris, who swore Garcia in as mayor of Long Beach in 2014 when she was California’s attorney general, reprised that role on Wednesday in a ceremonial swearing-in when Garcia took over his new Oversight role.

It happened the same week as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., again didn't rule out bringing Harris in before his committee, as he investigates whether former President Joe Biden’s top aides conspired to hide signs of mental decline in the ex-commander-in-chief.

"I think that it would be helpful to hear from Kamala Harris," Comer told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

"And I think that, you know, if I were her, wanted to have a political future, I would want to set the record straight on a lot of this stuff. Because it's going to haunt her her entire political career, because nobody thinks that Joe Biden was calling the shots in the end."

This aho Garcia isn’t even an American. He was a gay Peruvian born in Peru. He got divorced from his husband and came to America to help destroy America by running for the Senate. He believes being in Congress is like being in a barfight and that no one should be in a barfight without carrying a gun when you go there. Garcia a latino machette freak show.

If Horizontal Harris takes the stand, they’re going to need a few DOZEN rotating stenographers to take down all she has to say.

It’s going to go on and on and on for WEEKS and she will still have said absolutely NOTHING!

How does Kamala Harris have the authority to swear in ANYBODY?

How does becoming the minority ranking member of a House committee warrant a “swearing in” ceremony in the first place?

What does it mean to swear to a God you don’t believe in?

If Horizontal is ever found to be guilty, will Bob need to find another assignment?

This is so poorly written I can’t comprehend.

Same question I have. More so, why even if she does? Enough with the Marquis of Queensbury rules. Why should republicans give any bipartisan gesture to the RATS. These are the same people who eagerly went along with Pelosi having Schiff conduct impeachment hearings under the House Intelligence committee so they could keep secret what they were doing. The same people who lied about Biden being competent. The same people who continue to lie about our great President.

“”How does Kamala Harris have the authority to swear in ANYBODY?””

First question that comes to mind...Why/how/where?

It was ceremonial. The Democrats are desperately trying to keep her politically relevant. Let them double down on failure.

“”This is so poorly written I can’t comprehend.””

Bad writing is becoming so irritating and frustrating that we may as well understand at the outset that we are going to have to piece everything together ourselves.

That's what I was wondering as well.

So true! But, it leads to dissemination of misinformation, though, not necessarily intentionally, because poor writing leads to one interpreting things on their own, and, as you say, piecing things together. In the old days, we wouldn’t have been allowed to graduate with such poor skills.

A meaningless ceremonial event carrying ZERO weight.

In Long Beach, not Washington.

“Congressman Robert Garcia stood before Long Beach family, friends and colleagues to take another oath of office, this time as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.”

“While not a requirement of the post — Garcia has already assumed the seat — the ceremony Wednesday was a welcome formality he wanted to share among his local circle.”

In other words, just propaganda for the locals.
