GOP House Chair Comer Tells Newsmax He Quit ‘Going on Fox & Friends Because of Doocy’
'At the end of the day, he’s entitled to his opinion, but I don’t think the average viewer of Fox News agrees with Doocy one bit,' Comer said of the Fox & Friends co-host
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., on Tuesday said that he has stopped doing interviews on Fox & Friends because of anchor Steve Doocy.
“Forget the Democrats like Dan Goldman who say there’s no evidence. My concern is when the media, especially the conservative media, starts siding with the Bidens. Listen to Steve Doocy over at Fox saying you don’t have evidence," Newsmax host Eric Bolling asked Comer while interviewing him about the ongoing House investigation into President Joe Biden's involvement in his son's foreign business dealings.
He then proceeded to play a clip of Doocy saying that Republicans "have not connected the dots" on whether or not the president "did anything illegally."
“Well I think we’ve done a pretty good job connecting the dots," Comer responded once the clip finished. "We’ve traced two checks from influence peddling schemes going directly into Joe Biden’s pocket."
Bolling pressed Comer further, asking him why Doocy would suggest that they have done "nothing."
"He’s had that position from the very beginning. I’ve quit going on Fox & Friends because of Doocy, you know?" Comer said. "I mean, he’s the one guy on Fox that’s been very critical of the investigation. I have my theory why, and we’ll talk about that at a later point, but at the end of the day, he’s entitled to his opinion, but I don’t think the average viewer of Fox News agrees with Doocy one bit."

The congressman concluded by saying that "even 40% of Democrats" have concerns that the president acted illegally, referring to recent polling from the Associated Press and NORC.
"The American people expect somebody to investigate the president of the United States for public corruption, and thank God the Oversight Committee is," Comer said.
Doocy's son, Peter Doocy, a Fox News White House Correspondent made similar comments last week, saying the GOP has yet to produce any "concrete evidence" proving Biden committed any wrongdoing.
