CNN’s Jake Tapper engaged in a fiery back-and-forth with a Democratic lawmaker over the “unseemly” appearance of President Joe Biden’s family appearing to profit off of his name and government connections for years.

During an interview Wednesday with Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Tapper repeatedly asked him if he believes that the president “bears any responsibility” for the alleged profiteering, especially given that a majority of Americans in a CNN survey believe that Joe Biden was intimately involved in his son’s business deals, despite his denials.

“Well, they don’t want him impeached necessarily, but there is a new CNN poll that shows, and we’re going to put that up, 61 percent of the American people think that Biden had at least some involvement in Hunter Biden’s business dealings while he served as vice president,” Tapper began.

“So doesn’t that suggest, that polling number, that these allegations are connecting? That’s the American people, that’s the electorate as a whole, not just Republicans. And then the perception of wrongdoing could have hurt Joe Biden,” he added.

“Well, look, they’ve spent five months with would have, could have, should have, but there’s no evidence. And that’s why the polling on impeachment is different, right?” Moskowitz claimed though several Republicans have said clearly they believe they have uncovered a trove of evidence, including dollar amounts and bank accounts.

“We know that, you know, he was on the phone one time or he had dinner one time, and the Republicans have done is that, see, there’s the evidence. He was — he was in the room, he was at dinner, he was on the phone, he spoke to his son,” the Democrat said. “But there has been no evidence at all, zero. And if there were, they would be calling for a vote on impeachment. This is not like they want to give Joe Biden the benefit of the doubt, right? This is all about trying to appease Donald Trump.

“If they have the evidence, they would have tried to appease Donald Trump three, four, five, six months ago,” he said.

Tapper responded: “So, let me pause it like, for the sake of argument, that you are correct in what you’re saying. Does Joe Biden not bear any responsibility for the fact that his brothers and his son have been making millions of dollars, you know, profiting off their relationship to him being lobbyists and advisers and this and that, because of him? I mean, is that not…I understand people in this town do that, and their relatives do it. But, like, he’s been letting them do it.”

“Yeah, listen, if there was something that was unethical, obviously, that borders on illegal, then it needs to be prosecuted, right, on the Hunter Biden stuff, right? That needs to be prosecuted. If he’s broken the law, he needs to be held to account. Democrats have said that on Donald Trump who, you know, has 50 percent of the president’s impeachments in this country, 100 percent of its indictments,” said the Florida Democrat.

“If Hunter Biden did something wrong, he should be indicted. You know, as far as the culture in Washington, the revolving door in Congress, the revolving door in the Pentagon, being able to make money off of family members, listen, that may be something that Democrats and Republicans should address on a bipartisan basis,” he said.

Moskowitz also said he would support term limits and close the “revolving door” of influence-peddling in Washington.
