The Democratic Party files ethics complaint against Choi Min-hee... Lawyer Kim Kyu-hyun and Pastor Choi Jae-young accused

Choo Kyung-ho: "Democratic Party Politics Truly Subpar"

Choo Kyung-ho, the floor leader of the People Power Party, is pushing for the National Assembly Ethics Committee to file a complaint against Choi Min-hee, chairperson of the Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting and Communications Committee. This is due to allegations that Chairperson Choi made abusive remarks and verbal abuse such as saying "your brain structure is abnormal" to Lee Jin-sook, the nominee for the Broadcasting and Communications Commission chairperson, during the confirmation hearing. Lawyer Kim Kyu-hyun and Pastor Choi Jae-young, who attended as witnesses at the impeachment petition hearing for President Yoon Seok-yeol, are also expected to be reported for defamation and perjury charges.

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the 29th, Floor Leader Choo stated, "The confirmation hearing for the Broadcasting and Communications Commission chairperson candidate, which was held for an unprecedented three days, left nothing but abusive language and power harassment," expressing his intention to file a complaint. He added, "The confirmation hearing, which should have been a place to verify the candidate's qualifications and abilities, has degenerated into a political violence contest filled only with defamation and personal attacks," and emphasized, "The major opposition party, which has repeatedly called for the third confirmation hearing for the Broadcasting and Communications Commission chairperson within a year while pushing for impeachment, seems to have made humiliating and insulting the candidate its party line."

Floor Leader Choo pointed out, "Chairperson Choi declared the candidate's downfall even before the hearing and started the hearing with a threat saying, 'You must not fight with me.' When the candidate held A4 papers with both hands to explain, she abused her authority as chairperson by forcing an apology with the absurd argument, 'Are you picketing?'" He continued, "Chairperson Choi, who conducted such power harassment and a low-level verbal abuse spectacle, should apologize to the public who watched the live broadcast of the hearing."

He also criticized the unfairness during the impeachment petition hearing for President Yoon held by the National Assembly Judiciary Committee. Floor Leader Choo said, "Democratic Party judiciary committee members egged on the false incitement staged by Pastor Choi, the mastermind of the political plot who was even investigated for violating the National Security Act," and added, "The entire nation was shocked by the low-level third-rate novel-like remarks about exchanging KakaoTalk messages with an unrelated man at night and marital relations, which Pastor Choi, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeong Cheong-rae, and Democratic Party judiciary committee members exchanged without hesitation."

Floor Leader Choo stated, "In the two hearings held, there was no discussion about people’s livelihood or national interest," and added, "There was not even a defense for the impeachment petition. It was only conspiracy theories and impeachment agitation irresponsibly spread by Democratic Party lawmakers hiding behind parliamentary immunity." He continued, "Kim, the lawyer who was called as the first witness and then converted to a witness, was revealed to be the planner of the lobbying to save Im Seong-geun," and emphasized, "According to the recorded transcripts reported in the media, Lee Won of the Democratic Party knew that Kim was the planner of the whistleblowing operation and even said he was an 'untrustworthy person.' The Democratic Party held a fraudulent impeachment show by calling someone they themselves did not trust as a hearing witness."

Furthermore, Floor Leader Choo said, "The second hearing was even more ridiculous. Pastor Choi, who staged illegal trap hidden camera operations, appeared as a witness and disrupted the hearing with false statements that the first lady and the ruling party leader discussed high-ranking government personnel appointments," and criticized, "Chairperson Jeong and Democratic Party judiciary committee members not only failed to restrain Pastor Choi’s false statements but also encouraged and laughed along. The Democratic Party’s politics are truly below standard."

Floor Leader Choo declared, "Pastor Choi, who spread baseless lies, will be reported for perjury and defamation due to false facts, and Lawyer Kim, who lied about never having met or communicated with Democratic Party members before the hearing, will be reported for perjury," and said, "We will hold them strictly legally accountable." He added, "Even though Kim tried to discourage the report by saying it was just gossip, if the JTBC reporter proceeded with an exclusive report, it will be difficult to avoid responsibility for false reporting," and said, "We will also file a complaint against the reporter for obstruction of business." The People Power Party plans to form a provisional 'Task Force (TF) for Uncovering the Truth Behind the Fraudulent Impeachment Plot' with the stance of 'thoroughly investigating the fraudulent impeachment plot show by the Democratic Party.'"
