Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got very upset when Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) questioned him about a tweet sent out on October 7 from the account of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee and proceeded to have a meltdown that was captured by C-SPAN.
Swalwell asked Jordan if he would repudiate failed former president Donald Trump for saying that parts of the U.S. Constitution should be “terminated” and him returned to the presidency.
Jordan replied that Trump had “clarified” those demands, even though the ex-president has yet to stop saying that he won the 2020 election.
But when Swalwell brought up the October tweet, Jordan lost it.
Here’s the tweet, which was later deleted:
Confronted with the tweet, Jordan exclaimed, “That tweet was not on our account. That tweet was removed.”
Actually, the tweet was on the House Judiciary GOP’s Twitter account for weeks and only vanished after West made blatantly anti-Semitic comments and praised Adolf Hitler.
The tweet was on the account of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. Jordan, as the ranking Republican on the committee, controls that account and what gets posted on it.
Sorry, Jim, but you’re busted, and your denials confirm what we’ve long suspected about the disgusting bigotry, racism, and hatred that runs rampant in the GOP.
