For perhaps the first time since he arrived in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) lost the ability to speak during an interview with Lesley Stahl of “60 Minutes” which aired Sunday evening.
Discussing censorship on social media platforms, Jordan argued that sites such as Facebook and Twitter shouldn’t be allowed to take down inaccurate posts and instead let people decide what they want to believe.
That led Stahl to ask, “What about this idea that the 2020 election was stolen? You think that these companies should allow people to say that and that individuals can make up their own minds.”
“I’ve not said that,” Jordan insisted. “What I’ve said is there were concerns about the 2020 election; I think Americans agree with that.”
“No, they don’t,” said Stahl.
Jordan: “You don’t think they think there were concerns with the 2020 election?”
“Most people don’t question the result, that’s all I’m saying,” Stahl told Jordan.
“Fair enough,” said Jordan.
Seconds later, things got tense.
“They don’t question whether Biden won or not,” she said.
Not a peep from Jordan.
“Right?” she asked.
Again, complete silence from Jordan.
“Right?” she asked again.
Nothing from the congressman. Not one word. Just a look of confusion.
“Most people don’t question the outcome,” Stahl said.
“Right,” Jordan finally said.
Jordan, it should be noted, vociferously insisted that Trump had won in 2020 and should be declared the victor despite Biden winning both the popular and electoral vote.
Social media isn’t the problem when it comes to lies. The problem is when you have people in positions of power spouting bullshit from the rooftops in an effort to overturn a valid election.
