Representative Jim Jordan went off on cancel culture and how the last 4 years ago Dems pushed and peddled a Russian hoax theory that came up with zero collusion.
“Everyone has said things they wish they didn’t say, everyone has done things they wish they didn’t do. So who’s next? Who will the cancel culture attack next?” said Jordan.
Rep. Jordan brought up the former New York Times editor Bari Weiss who was not a conservative but she had to reign for engaging in wrong think/ wrong speak.
NY Times wrote about Ms. Weiss, “has been known to question aspects of social justice movements that have taken root in recent years. She was critical of a woman who described an uncomfortable encounter with the comedian Aziz Ansari and questioned whether the sexual assault charges leveled against Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh should disqualify him from the post.”
Based on the NY Times article about Ms. Weiss, it is obviously clear she engaged in wrong think for even questioning a different idea and Rep. Jordan knows that cancel culture will not just come after Republicans.
Recently Breitbart reported, “Saturday Hight Live” Under Fire For Skit Slammed As ‘Transphobic because an SNL cast member Michael Che joked about Biden calling a policy on transgender people in the military, ‘Don’t ask, don’t tuck’

It’s time for Republicans to make a big fat stink about cancel culture/Newspeak/death of the 1st Amendment.
I couldn’t find a place on the RNC website so I could send an email expressing my contempt.
Democrats have NO shame! They will exploit every opportunity, every weakness to their advantage. Yesterday does not exist unless it’s to their advantage.
Memo to Jim Jordan: I’ll start taking your “Rebel with a cause” routine seriously when you ditch that freaking mask. It’s nothing more than a sign of submission.
Why? He said something good here.
It’s probably a rule in the House.
Not a good idea to alienate yourself over something that isn’t really consequential and doesn’t stop you from speaking your mind and airing your thoughts on a national stage.
That would be cutting off your nose to spite your face.
(I’d like to see YOU speak as forcefully and directly as Jordan has done on many issues, with or without a mask...)
My contempt for the RNC. I should have clarified.
Not that long ago, in the Philippines:
"Barred from running for a third term as president in 1973, Marcos announced Proclamation No. 1081 on September 23, 1972, declaring martial law with rising civil disobedience as a justification. Through this decree and after obtaining voters consent through the plebiscite, President Marcos seized emergency powers giving him full control of the Philippines' military and the authority to suppress and abolish the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, and many other civil liberties. President Marcos also dissolved the Philippine Congress and shut down media establishments critical of the Marcos Administration."
"With practically all of his political opponents were arrested and in exile, President Marcos' pre-emptive declaration of martial law in 1972 and the ratification of his new constitution by more than 95% of voters enabled Marcos to effectively legitimize his government and hold on to power for another 14 years beyond his first two terms as president. In a Cold War context, Marcos retained the support of the United States through Marcos' promise to stamp out communism in the Philippines and by assuring the United States of its continued use of military and naval bases in the Philippines."
Those that don't know history ....
Anyone wanna guess the skeletons are in this guys closet?
well put and true!!
Excellent comment.
Jordan or Gaetz is who is next. Guaranteed. And limp wrist McCarthy won’t do a thing about it.
Thank you.
A surprising lot of people here seem to get stuck on their pet peeves, and fail to see the big picture.
Just gives her more time to write impeachment articles.
And another list of 11 Republicans that need to be primaried just surfaced.
Well, Qanon is every bit as true as the Russian Collusion “conspiracy theory”. And in that case, the identity of the conspirators, including leading democrats, is no secret. But no one is demanding Schumer or Schiff resign.
Hey, I could! Put me in coach!!
Isn’t this vote the equivalent of passing an ex post facto law?
Post a video of yourself defending our Republic relative to the issues of the day.
Or better yet, run for Congress! We’ll be watching to see how well you do...
