Talk:James Comer (politician)

Native of Tompkinsville?
The Early Life and Education section states that "Comer is a native of Tompkinsville, Kentucky," even though the Personal Details section indicates that he was born in Carthage, TN - which appears plainly contradictory. There is not a wealth of data on The Interwebs on Comer's early life, though it seems he spent his formative years in Tompkinsville, graduating from HS there. Perhaps his family moved from Carthage when he was just a wee lad? Nonetheless, I'd say that "native of Tompkinsville" is simply inaccurate. Anyone have thoughts and/or greater knowledge of his early youth, such as when his family moved to Monroe County, KY? The source cited simply does not substantiate a claim of "native of Tompkinsville," indicating only that he graduated from Monroe County High School in Tompkinsville in 1990.

Political bias.
The last sentence in the opening is politically motivated. Comer had stated the documents are a matter for the national Archives. Trump’s residence has been raided security film and photos of documents on the floor taken and the First Lady’s closet searched. Trump is being investigated and charged. Where as Biden’s documents taken while VP, which he COULD NOT declassify is being handled by his attorney who does not have security clearance. WIKIPEDIA should not give the appearance of bias by allowing half truths 64.57.168.91 (talk) 14:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)


 * While this politician is clearly a controversial figure, the introductory paragraphs in this article are definitely of dubious neutrality. This article is blythely laughable, and brings wikipedia into disrepute. A couple of sentences that demonstrate this:
 * The first set of sentences are sentences number 2 and 3 in the introductory paragraph.
 * - "As the chair of the Oversight committee from 2023, Comer has declined or stopped investigations into former President Donald Trump."
 * - "Comer is currently leading an investigation into the Biden family. Despite his claims of having uncovered 'a mountain of evidence,' he and his republican colleagues have failed to produce any concrete proof to support their allegations."
 * It is difficult to find a precedent in wikipedia, where the introduction is so transparent. The introduction focuses on specific people and policy stances that he has taken, on clearly partisan issues, (is clearly designed to influence thinking) and provides no insight into the congressman's political positions, goals or initiative. It does not even bother to mention his political party. Reading this introduction, one can't help but believe that a political staffer of opposing views wrote the article.
 * There is absolutely no mention of his earlier offices; Kentucky House of Representatives, Agriculture Commissioner.
 * This article needs objective revision. Steve.A.Dore.4 (talk) 05:26, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Need to resolve ambiguity, conflicting statements under Tenure section vs. introduction
Perhaps could add that investigations are ongoing but no new evidence of illegality has been uncovered. 98.225.117.250 (talk) 18:24, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

College education
you state that comer received a B.S. degree from western ky University in 1993. His official website from the House of Representatives says he only attended western ky University. Have you verified that he actually graduated and received a degree? Ladybug5148 (talk) 13:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
