“Yeah,” Jordan replied. “And what I’d really like, frankly, I’d really like for the government just to stay out of the election process.”

  2. Yeah, the State of Georgia agrees, and is currently investigating.

That’s the US government, right?
Our alarm about foreign governments should be limited to those that contribute to his, and his party’s, adversaries.
What a tool!

What a fucking moron. No wonder these dipshits represent people who scream “Government hands off my Medicare.” Christ almighty everything we’ve ever accomplished as a nation is in spite of these imbeciles, not because of them.

“We control the power of the purse… We’re gonna have to look at the appropriations process and limit funds going to some of these agencies, particularly the ones who are engaging in the most egregious behavior,” Jordan said during the Fox interview.

So the DOJ and the FBI?” Bartiromo asked.

“Yeah,” Jordan replied. “And what I’d really like, frankly, I’d really like for the government just to stay out of the election process.”

I see we have agreement about the most ridiculous comment from this ridiculous idiot. The voters in his district have their heads almost as far up their asses as he has his up his own.

“We either get this government back on our side or we defund and get rid of, abolish the FBI, the CDC, ATF, DOJ, every last one of them if they do not come to heel,” he said at the Conservative Political Action Conference"

An American Congressman said that. America is in dire straights if that is leading us.

I am still unclear on the “side” thing. I think it’s all about control of tax distribution as republicans think what?

I am not clear with their agenda aside from hand tax dollars to wealthy donors use kids as shields, or N-woke people.

GOP Rep. Jim Jordan says there aren’t ‘enough good people’ seeking to become police officers due to the ‘disparagement’ of law enforcement

"We’re not getting enough good people applying because of the disparagement on police officers. They don’t get enough people applying, taking the test to enter the academy to be an officer because there’s been this defund the police concept out there," he said on the NBC News program.

“I got a list of 20 jurisdictions that defunded the police to the tune of over $1 billion total.”

“We shouldn’t have this whole attitude about defund the police,” Jordan said. “I got a list of 20 jurisdictions that defunded the police to the tune of over $1 billion total. That’s a problem when you’re trying to attract the best to protect our communities.”

Comer & Jordan: Democrat Defund the Police Policies Destroying Nation’s Capital

“Democrat-run cities across the country are struggling under the progressive Democrat Defund the Police influence and soft-on-crime policies. Unfortunately, this trend is affecting the District of Columbia. Under your leadership, D.C. continues to face violence and destruction. While crime in 2022 surpasses even an abysmal 2021, Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and House Committee on the Judiciary seek information about the increasingly dangerous state of D.C. and the D.C. government’s failure to quell criminal activity. For over a year, Republicans have raised concerns about D.C.’s soaring crime and deteriorating conditions. The D.C. government, however, has ignored all requests for information. It is past time you take action to restore order to the nation’s capital,” wrote the Republican lawmakers.

Jordan blames ‘cancel culture left’ for halting progress on police reform, other issues

"I mean, think about it, added Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee. “The ‘cancel culture’ left says … you get attacked by them if you support standing for the national anthem, you get attacked from them if you take your boys fishing and wear the wrong T-shirt. The ‘cancel culture’ left … wants to defund the police, abolish police departments like Minneapolis did today and allow these autonomous zones to be created. So that’s the big concern.”
