Rep. Ruben Gallego lambasted Rep. Jim Jordan in a Wednesday evening interview after the Republican congressman confirmed that he sent a text to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on January 5, saying that then-Vice President Mike Pence "should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all."
In an appearance on MSNBC, Gallego, a Democrat from Arizona, called Jordan "a traitor."
"He's a traitor to the Constitution of the United States. He has been a traitor to the Constitution of the United States for quite a while. And now we actually have it in text," Gallego continued. "But we shouldn't be surprised, and why is anybody surprised?"
The text that the Ohio lawmaker sent to Meadows on January 5 was a forwarded message from Joseph Schmitz, a conservative lawyer and former inspector general at the Defense Department, Jordan's office confirmed to Politico earlier Wednesday.

(58,785 posts)who elected Democrats to create the New Deal? It was the weakness and feckless irresponsibility of too many, over decades, that took us all down both times. They didn't react over years of hits until, finally, when the Great Depression bit hard into the middle classes. Then the many bad hurt did what they should have long before.
They weren't so great that people should assume we can't possibly do what they did.

Manchin will have a load of his "dirty coal" delivered to Jordon's front porch.
Everything single thing Manchin and Jordan do grossly enhances their income.........They, and a whole shit load of other Republican Politicians are so brazen that they don't even try to hide it anymore........
