anyone else think jordan was chosen just so he would be rejected

[Kali]

and then able to whine loudly about it?

[Sanity Claws]

1. They figured they might try and get him on

If he gets on, then he can disrupt.
If he gets rejected, then they can whine.
In the Republicans' eyes, that's a win-win.

[Kali]

2. yep

[vapor2]

3. 100%

and then Mccarthy could scream the committee is partisan. Jordan is likely complicit so should be removed

[Kali]

4. looks like mccarthy is pulling them all out

what an asshole

[lagomorph777]

6. An asshole withdrawal.

Something Gym is already quite familiar with.

[zuul]

5. Yes. Anything to distract and obstruct.

[inwiththenew]

7. It's a win win for them

They put him up and he gets on then he gets to muddy the waters and make a mockery of the whole thing.

They put him up and he gets rejected than they can say this is a partisan witch hunt where the outcome is already decided.

[Maeve]

8. Jordan should be a witness, not a committee member

A jailed witness, likely enough, but at least someone explaining his role rather than questioning others

[Kali]

9. yes! exactly

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. True! nt

[Johonny]

10. Hitting the showers early is basically his only life skill.

[Corgigal]

11. Of course,

and again the media plays the fool. Talking about this stunt over and over again. Just let it die, quickly.

[uponit7771]

12. Of course now just call him as a witness and when he rejects that call he'll look suspicious

[Diamond_Dog]

13. I wish

the voters in his district would reject him as well.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. Banks also needed to be rejected

Banks did his best to get rejected

16. yes

but jordon is the tee vee attention-whore clown that most know about, and too much is about the show (see previous White House occupant, for example)

[fishwax]

17. Absolutely. McCarthy is not an honest broker in this.

[Bleacher Creature]

18. No question.

[Grasswire2]

19. of course they have gamed this out

Evidently there's another member of the GOP candidates that was hoped to be a moderate adult in the room. But now McCarthy has pulled them all.

[elias7]

20. Republicans are only about politics, not about truth

[Wounded Bear]

21. Probably. It's what they do. Do something outrageous and then complaine when they get called on it

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. Those complicit in the crime have no right to sit in judgement.

23. No brainer Kali

Of course he was.
