Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) blasted what he called the double standard of his Democrat colleagues on the House floor on Wednesday, reminding Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) that he stood as the “first objector” to the results during the same process in 2017.
“In his opening remarks, the Democrat chair of the Rules Committee said that Republicans last week voted to overturn the results of an election,” Jordan began.
“Guess who the first objector was on January 6, 2017? First objector. The Democrat chair of the Rules Committee. And guess which state he objected to? Alabama. The very first state called,” Jordan said, noting Trump won the state by a massive margin.
“They can object to Alabama in 2017 but tell us we can’t object to Pennsylvania in 2021,” he continued, highlighting several of the main concerns over the Keystone State’s election process:
Pennsylvania where the state’s Supreme Court just unilaterally extended the election to Friday? Pennsylvania where the Secretary of State unilaterally changed the rules — went around the legislature in an unconstitutional fashion. Pennsylvania where county clerks in some counties … let people fix their ballots against the law. Cure their ballots, their mail-in ballots — [a] direct violation of the law. And they tell us we tried to overturn the election.
Jordan continued, reminding his colleagues that the individual managing impeachment for the Democrats, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), too, objected to electoral votes in 2017.
“Americans are tired of the double standards. They are so tired of it,” the Ohio Republican said. “Democrats objected to more states in 2017 than Republicans did last week, but somehow we’re wrong.”

In 2017, The Democrats objected to counting the electoral votes in 8 or 9 states.
In 2021, Republicans objected to 4 states.
HYPOCRISY.
If it weren’t for Double Standards they’d have no standards at all........................
I’m sick of the back and forth, we should have squashed them like a bug in 2106-2018 because that’s about what they will do now.
They don’t give a GD, Mr. Jordan Hypocrisy is their stock in trade.
That certainly seems to fit every time I hear it used in
conjunction with the Democrats.
Where is Pelosi?
Close to the wording I wanted which was “The American people can see you lying and cheating.”
Stalinists lie. Always
But they want anyone who objected to Biden’s votes thrown out of the congress.
People have short memories, and the MSM is never going to call them on this cr@p.
..... OMG .... Jim Jordan spoke out against the Ruling Party .... He will now be summarily Cancelled ....
Amen Brother ! Hypocrisy is not deplorable behavior to democrats.....
Hypocrisy,truth and double standard is now irrelevant. The cause is now to destroy Trump,his followers and transform America. A good portion of the country and entities give ZERO FVKS whatsoever about this being done.
This guy, not McCarthy.
We need to return to the bad old days - when there were fist fights in the House ... When senators beat each other senseless with their canes. There were even duels fought over political disagreements!
If such were still the case - there would be many a bruised, bleeding politician lying in the halls of Congress - both Democrat and Republican.
Hook ~~ The MSM is never there when Republican electors are objected against
Line ~~ ...so the lemmings dont know how the system works
Sinker ~~ ...we can rile them with gross misconduct from the Republicans!!
I know its really difficult to do in Washington DC, which is an absolutely dense and uniform ideological bubble. Especially now, when the narrative is so fake and so manipulated, everyone is full of fear, it has all the mindless goobers spouting the same stupid cliches about “insurrection.”
But for any politician - taking a bold contrarian position will pay off big dividends in the future. Especially one’s with 80 million Trump voters looking for leadership
Crazy Nancy is around. She was there giving the opening statement a little while ago.
I had a doctor appointment today. First I told the Hispanic nurse who took my blood pressure that I thought COVID was a bioweapon created to defeat Trump. She agreed with me. Then I told the Uzbek Jewish doctor the same thing. He also agreed, and thought it was nuts that they were impeaching Trump with only a week left in his term. And this is in Lib New York City.
