MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) Bicyclists pedaling naked through the streets of Madison over the summer took centerstage on Capitol Hill for a moment on Wednesday as a congressmember took the opportunity during a House Judiciary Committee hearing to ask U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland about allegations raised after the June event.
During the hearing, several House Republicans accused Garland of the weaponization of his agency under President Joe Biden, protecting the presidents son Hunter Biden, and going after former President Donald Trump. But, when Wisconsin Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany got his turn, he brought the questioning closer to home and right into downtown Madison.
I want to close real quickly with this, Tiffany told Garland, following his questions about crime in Minnesota and the fentanyl crisis. The congressman, who represents much of the northern portion of Wisconsin, changed subjects to Madisons edition of the Naked Bike Ride, which is held in many cities across the country.
Tiffany echoed allegations made shortly after the event that a child had participated that day and referenced a letter the representative said his office sent several weeks afterwards.

Not sure why he thinks the USAG should get involved in his complaint.

(17,991 posts)The focus here was that there was a child riding (I don't know the age) who will be scarred for life because she was surrounded by misshapen middle aged men and women (who were shielding her).
Its much ado about nothing.
I have no interest in riding naked or in watching people who do, but I can't see how its offensive.
