Jim Jordan (R-OH)/MSNBC screen shot
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) used his time during a committee hearing with Donald Trump's former acting attorney general and defense secretary to shout about Hillary Clinton, and it didn't go over well.
Chris Miller, the former acting defense secretary, and Jeffrey Rosen, the former acting attorney general, defended their actions after the November election and during the Jan. 6 insurrection Thursday during a hearing with the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
The hearing revealed some of the deep partisan differences on the Capitol riot, exemplified by Jordan accusing Democrats of trying to overturn the 2016 election on behalf of Clinton -- who conceded immediately after losing the vote to Trump, who continues to insist that he won the 2020 election over President Joe Biden.
Jordan was so satisfied with his performance that he quickly tweeted out a clip of it, but others were less impressed.
Those were the most ridiculous statements I\u2019ve ever heard. Do you really think what you are asking has anything to do with the capital riots? Or are you that ignorant?— Leslie Phelps (@Leslie Phelps) 1620834718
It's Jim Jordan Time, ladies and gentlemen. And he's lying his ass off about Pennsylvania. He also is confused about what the word "allowed" means.— Charles P. Pierce (@Charles P. Pierce) 1620833723
Jim Jordan is a dreadful "statesman" and a general embarrassment to our nation.— Astrid Johanna (@Astrid Johanna) 1620833561
@Jim_Jordan It\u2019s amazing you see a double standard. What Clinton said to media a few months ago didn\u2019t start an insurrection. Good grief, Trump is still trying to be President from his swamp.— Holly Adamson (@Holly Adamson) 1620834449
Why is @Jim_Jordan asking about objecting to the insurrection by arguing the @DNC objected to the vote? No one stopped the objections. This is about the attempt to overthrow the government by trying to stop the legal process. #CapitolRiots #Biden— that one chick (@that one chick) 1620834542
Jim Jordan is an embarrassment to his position in office. I find it embarrassing that we have these crazy people in office. Those men who were in charge are liars and were following Mark Meadows and Donald John Trump's orders in my opinion. They are dirtbags and scum of the earth— @Old school Queen (@@Old school Queen) 1620834451
There is no revisionist history, Hillary Clinton conceded to Donald Trump she didn\u2019t incite an insurrection! You lie and don\u2019t care that capitol police officers died and many were severely injured, up to 150 officers injured but you\u2019re ok with that! Disgraceful!— Twinmom (@Twinmom) 1620836756
Hey, @Jim_Jordan Democrats in 2016 knit hats and went for a walk. "Republican" trump supporters tried to overthrow the government on January 6th. It's not the same thing. What bothers Americans the most, myself included, is the hypocrisy of your party.— Amber Paige (@Amber Paige) 1620834064
Please go back to whatever you are doing. You can skip the bullshit @Jim_Jordan is now spewing.— Del Shores (@Del Shores) 1620833495
@Jim_Jordan your rant this morning was despicable. It had NOTHING to do with Jan 6th 2020! You're always EVASIVE, you were talking about Jan 6th 2016! You're nothing but a mouth peice for the worst, corrupt senior citizen liar-in-chief Trump. @SpeakerPelosi @VP @RepSwalwell— Papa Bear (@Papa Bear) 1620834434
Why is Jim Jordan re-litigating 2016 and not trying to get answers for what happened on Jan 6th? Could it be because he doesn't want to implicate himself in the insurrection?— GOP is no more (@GOP is no more) 1620834218
@Jim_Jordan just listened to you at the hearing. Yes Hillary was disgruntled. The rest of us moved on and accepted the results of the election. This time it\u2019s different. Some Republicans continued the lie that the election was stolen. This is irresponsible and unconstitutional.— Ann Oliver (@Ann Oliver) 1620834066
Defenders of molesters like @Jim_Jordan love to equate objections to the \u201816 election (amidst active, unprecedented interference from hostile foreign interference & cyberattacks in an American election) w/ the \u201820 election, where Trump lost 86+ lawsuits, including SCOTUS.— Andrew Rudick (@Andrew Rudick) 1620834061
Jim Jordan is in a hearing about the TRUMP INSURRECTION bitching about Hillary Clinton!?!\nIf Jim Jordan is still in public office 10 years from now, will he still be bitching about Hillary?\nI'm sick of his child-like "but she said that" crap.— Victor (@Victor) 1620834044
@Jim_Jordan Comparing Clinton's 2016 election to Biden's 2020 election is apples to oranges. Russia helped Trump! Russia did not help Biden. That is what Hillary meant. How can you look in the mirror and sleep at night? You are a disgrace!— Kay Pearce (@Kay Pearce) 1620833924
@Jim_Jordan needs to resign and have his mental checked. Wtf does Hilary Clinton have to do with anything? Still perpetuating the big lie I see. \n\nSince you\u2019re bringing up the past, how about them alleged sexual abuse cases?\n\nhttps://sports.yahoo.com/rep-jim-jordan-accused-of-participating-in-osu-sexual-abuse-coverup-by-exwrestler-165329175.html\u00a0\u2026https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1392504998450368520\u00a0\u2026— Meidas_Can_We_Restart_2021?

@Jim_Jordan \n1 - Clinton conceded at midnight\n2 - Trump colluded, and Barr covered it up.

He is also conflating. Hillary Clinton did not say the election was conducted unfairly at the state level or that votes were stolen. She was saying that the Russian meddling swung enough votes to "steal" the election for Trump. Two very different things.— Jeff Leon (@Jeff Leon) 1620834021
