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.”

Jordan deserves a second Medal of Freedom for sticking this right in their hypocrite faces.
You know what? I don't think they have the actual numbers to do much squashing. The bogus vote should be an indication of that.
I've long suspected the media works overtime creating the illusion that there are vastly more Democrats than there actually are, just as they inflate the numbers and influence of groups like Antifa and BLM.
He absolutely does. When listening to him on my drive into work, it was the only moment of not wanting to scream at the radio.
Yes, Democrats are hypocrites. But they are in complete control of the narrative. Dissenters are banned and memory holed, and we’ve all been heel-turned into terrorists.
P
Busy hatefully sticking pins in her Trump doll... and stealing from the public trough, of course.
Plus, extreme hatred can be quite tiring, you know. Nanzi is consumed with hatred.
You have my sympathy. Would you believe when I left there in 1980, the New York Times was criticized as a Republican rag?! !:^0
