Watch: Jim Jordan Drops Receipts on House Democrats During Contentious Exchange on Government Censorship
redstate ^ | 3/9/2023 | sister toldjah

Posted on 03/10/2023 7:11:30 AM PST by bitt

As we previously reported, fireworks and a Democrat festival of fail were on full display Thursday during the House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the weaponization of the federal government.

The hearing relates to the Twitter Files and all that has been revealed by their release so far about efforts at the federal government level to collude with Twitter’s old regime to suppress speech and in the process violate the First Amendment.

At one point during the hearing, there was a clash between committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and freshman Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.), a “rules for thee but not for me” Democrat who demanded in so many words that Jordan prove his claim that government officials sought to squelch the free speech rights of American citizens who were engaging in what Goldman called “lawful speech.”

Goldman told Jordan that he had yet to supply any evidence that this happened, to which Jordan responded that he indeed had the receipts, some of which he dropped on Goldman during the hearing.

“We’re here talking about Twitter. Twitter,” Goldman whined. “And even with Twitter, you cannot find actual evidence of any direct government censorship of any lawful speech. And when I say lawful, I mean non-criminal speech because plenty of speech is non-criminal.”

Jordan countered him with the following remarks:

“I’d ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the following email from Clark Humphrey, Executive Office of the Presidency, White House office, Jan. 23, 2021, that’s the Biden administration, 4:39 a.m., ‘Hey, folks,’ … this goes to Twitter… ‘Hey, folks wanted to’ — they use the term Mr. Goldman just used — ‘wanted to flag the below tweet, and then wondering if we can get moving on the process for having it removed, ASAP.”

Washington Democrats (and many Washington Republicans) are FASCISTS, in the classical sense. Webster’s definition:
1) a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2 a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Don’t bother looking up Wiki’s definition because THEY are fascists (the will ‘ban’ you if you disagree that it is strictly ‘right-wing’. Chuckie Schumer IS A FASCIST!

"Washington Democrats (and many Washington Republicans) are FASCISTS, in the classical sense."

Washington Demonicrats (and many Washington RINOcrats) are also TRAITORS, in the Constitutional sense of giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

Google ‘Jim Jordan’ and note how the MSM is describing the hearing.

Anyone notice that the ranking member of this committee is a black female with an attitude? Anyone think this is an attempt to intimidate Jordan? Waiting for the racist card to be played.

Why be President and get headaches when you can be in the House and have fun?

We'll take him or DeSantis or Cruz, after President Trump, of course.

That would be GREAT- President Trump can choose him as his Vice President for his second term.
