Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) ripped Democrats for “raising bail for the rioters and looters” while Republicans have consistently condemned any type of violence.
During the markups in the committee room Tuesday, Republican members tried to put forth an amendment aimed to prevent police agencies from being defunded by local governments by withholding grant money from the municipalities that do so.
Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) tried to accuse Republicans of only supporting the police when it is politically convenient.
Demings said, "I’m glad to hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are on the side of law enforcement now because I don’t know where my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been over the last four years. Including on January 6th, when police officers who protect us every day were fighting for their lives, because of the big lie that was told."
Jordan said the Republicans have “condemned the violence of January 6th, and we condemned it last summer. It would have been nice if our colleagues on the other side had done the same,” talking about the Democrats not condemning the violence that happened in 2020.
“All last summer when police were being pelted with frozen water bottles, bricks, and beat up, where were the Democrats condemning the violence.”
“They were busy,” he explained. The Democrats “were busy raising bail for the rioters and looters doing the same exact thing to the police.”
Jordan said the Democrats have not been consistent, which is why they are so “fired up” about opposing the amendment from the Republicans that would prevent police agencies from being defunded by refusing to grant money to local governments which do so.

Kinda like the Palestinians paying the families of suicide bombers.
This man should run for president.
Trump Jordan 2024
I grow weary of negroes with chips on their shoulders.
Yep, Democrats lie and cover up for BLM rioters. And many conservatives make excuses for the January 6 rioters.
A pox on both their houses. If you advocate violence over rule of law, you’re part of the problem.
like any good organized crime syndicate, you bail out yer soldiers ASAP before they can run their mouths or even worse, turnover...
I still believe the DC Swamp Republicans stood by, knowing the Democrats plans to oust Trump using fraud and let it happen. Now all they can do is ask for donations, the thing they are best at, and promise they will dobetter in the 2022 elections...not if HR1 and SR1 passes.
