Jim Jordan called out by GOP strategist for failing to control 'disgraceful' sideshow

A former GOP staffer and current conservative communications strategist went after Pam Bondi on Saturday, and at the same time noted Jim Jordan's failure to rein her in.

Maura Gillespie, who worked for Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and former Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), appeared on MS NOW over the weekend, where she was asked about why many GOP figures have criticized Bondi's recent performance at a hearing before lawmakers.

Gillespie joined in that chorus of conservative voices, saying there's no way to undo the damage Bondi has done. Gillespie accused Bondi of being disrespectful to lawmakers and of "bowing down" to Trump.

She then went on to put pressure on Jordan himself.

"That was a sham of a hearing and I do think Jim Jordan did notdo justice to his committee by not holding her moreaccountable because heroutbursts were truly... disgraceful," she said. "Andit brings shame not only to theposition that she holds, butalso the people who work there.I also found that her notwilling to turn around and facethe victims themselves wasparticularly egregious, andreally just made me wonder whatthe point was entirely of hereven being there, because herentire career, she has justembarrassed herself now becauseshe says she ran to hold, youknow, criminals accountable andto bring justice to victims,and she wouldn't even face them."
