Jim Jordan cornered on CNN over 2024 election fraud accusations – until Trump won

Confronted on CNN on Sunday morning, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) didn't have much to say when asked what happened to Republican party accusations that the 2024 election would be rife with fraud –– until Donald Trump won.

Speaking with host Dana Bash, the verbose Jordan continuously changed the subject after she pointed that, on election night, former president Trump was still claiming the the election was going to be stolen from him.

"Let's talk about the election," Bash began. "In the run-up to the election, even on election night itself, Donald Trump baselessly accused Democrats of cheating. As soon as a results started to come in and show it going his way he stopped – nothing about that. I haven't seen you or your colleagues claiming any election irregularities , no rampant voting brought this time. It seems to me that Republicans claim voting fraud and election integrity when you lose and not when you win."

"No, I mean, again, as I said before, this election I think was the greatest political comeback we've ever seen," he replied while grinning. "He [Trump] did something that even Teddy Roosevelt could not do for goodness sake and the country--"

"But you think it was a free and fair election?" Bash cut him off.

Jordan replied by pointing to a interview with a Latino voter who chose Trump because he didn't believe the Democrats were in his corner.

That led Bash to follow up with, "But last time around he claimed –– your leader claimed that there were problems with fraud," as Jordan talked over her.

"But last time around it wasn't so much about the policy differences or the personality differences, there were false claims about election fraud when Donald Trump lost" Bash lectured him "This time Donald Trump won and you think the election was free and fair. You see there is a little bit --"

"I think the Democrats have to ask why we go from getting anyone 81 million to 71 million. What happened to those 10 million people. Maybe it's not smart to run an election where you have no policies, " he replied.

The persistent Bash asked, "Why was it different from 2020 when he lost? Is that the only difference?"

"There were concerns about 2020 with all the mail-in voting that happened in Pennsylvania, they came in without any signature verification which is require," the Ohio Republican attempted. "There were all kinds of concerns with how the 2020 election was run but—"

"There was no widespread fraud," Bash shot back, cutting him off.
