I think her party jumped the shark on Jan. 6 and it absolutely horrified her

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.

He had no business being on the committee, besides his typical irresponsible obnoxiousness and deceit.

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

7. The Slobfather awarded Gym Jordan the medal of freedom

Rachel reminded us that
Jordan was one of the 147 Republican representatives and senators who took part in the last-ditch effort to derail Biden’s legitimate victory by raising objections to the Electoral College results and echoing Trump’s 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 nation’s 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

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.

27 miles. I’m done with the fools in my state’s Capitol. They want to take down my voting rights? They want to water down my land rights and take my tax dollars for their cronies that can’t keep the lights on? Hell no. I am done.

Is time to march peacefully to speak our grievance.

Never thought I’d be praising any Cheney but grudgingly have to, we definitely see eye to eye on Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan.
