(16,151 posts)people in her party than there are MAGATs. I don't know if she'll win that but, but, ugly as she is, I hope she does.
I also hope the MAGATs refuse to vote for most Republicans.

Missed the source she quoted, but the list at the following looks correct:

Jordan was one of the 147 Republican representatives and senators who took part in the last-ditch effort to derail Bidens legitimate victory by raising objections to the Electoral College results and echoing Trumps baseless claims of a rigged election.
And then the Slobfather awarded hum the Presidential Medal of Freedom. How the fuck does the Minority leader appoint this tool to a Select Committee investigating the coup that failed?

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he was awarding the presidential medal of freedom to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, a pugnacious Republican ally in Congress who continues to back the president even after the deadly rampage last week by a pro-Trump mob through the Capitol.
Jordan received the nations highest civilian award from a lame-duck and increasingly isolated president who has just nine days left in office and who faces the humiliation of a possible second impeachment before President-elect Joe Biden takes office.
A sharp-elbowed Trump defender, Jordan helped lead the GOP attack on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference. His harsh interrogations of witnesses plus his refusal to wear a jacket while doing so made him both a national figure and lightning rod for critics.
In announcing the award, the White House praised Jordan for, among other things, his work to "unmask the Russia hoax and take on Deep State corruption" and for his efforts to "confront the impeachment witch hunt."

Lock them up!
Speaker Pelosi was correct - he has no place on this Select Committee
Trump really cheapened that medal by awarding it to a slew of lowlifes.

(269,328 posts)In Ohio, the editorial board of The Dayton Daily News turned thumbs-down on Jordan getting the award, calling him one of the instigators of the deadly mob violence in Washington.
Jordan was one of several GOP congressmen who willfully created an alternate reality by spreading lies and conspiracy theories, the board wrote.
-----------------------
Isn't it amazing that not one media hack reminded Americans of this when Jordan was appointed to the Select Committee by fellow tool McCarthy?
Give thanks for Rachel.
