The White House condemned Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) for his “incredibly ugly and inappropriate” remarks suggesting President Joe Biden’s late son, Beau Biden, should have been indicted when he was alive.

During Monday’s episode of the right-wing podcast “The Great America Show with Lou Dobbs,” Comer criticized U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is currently overseeing the federal probe into Hunter Biden, for not indicting Beau Biden during a probe into illegal contributions to his father’s campaign over a decade ago.

In 2012, Weiss prosecuted Christopher Tigani, a Biden donor who “illegally contributed $72,700 to [Biden’s presidential] campaign in 2007,” and reimbursed his employees for donations made in their name.

Beau Biden, who was then Delaware’s attorney general, recused himself from the probe, and according to The Washington Post, no credible evidence was found indicating that the Bidens had prior knowledge of Tigani’s campaign fraud.

But Comer asserted on the podcast that Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015 at age 46 was involved.

​​​​​​“This U.S. attorney … had an opportunity to go after the Bidens years ago.
In fact, it was Beau Biden, the president’s other son, that was involved in some campaign donations from a person that got indicted as well,” Comer, who chairs the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said on the podcast, the Post reported.

White House Slams Republican’s ‘Incredibly Ugly’ Remark About Biden’s Late Son

P.S.  Biden was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service in Iraq.

Army Chief of Staff Raymond Odierno delivered the eulogy at Biden's funeral and presented a posthumous Legion of Merit for his service in the Delaware National Guard, stating "Beau Biden possessed the traits I have witnessed in only the greatest leaders."

He was also posthumously presented with the Delaware Conspicuous Service Cross, which is "awarded for heroism, meritorious service and outstanding achievement".
