Gym Jordan just said: you don't have a right to enter the Capitol and disrupt Congress.

Okay - you probably want the context. Pam Bondi is before the House Judiciary Committee, and Jordan was setting up his discussion/question with her about the First Amendment.

In framing the upcoming assertions regarding the First Amendment, he said to Bondi: "You have a right to protest in the streets, but you don't have a right to enter the Capitol and disrupt Congress. Am I right?"

His set up was to discuss the case against Don Lemon for following protestors into a church.

But is the irony totally lost on him?

55 Things You Need to Know About Jim Jordan

The famously combative congressmember is fighting an uphill battle to win a job that he has made a misery for previous occupants.


by Anna Canizales and Ian Ward
Politico, October 18, 2023

Excerpt...

10. The House Select Committee on Jan. 6 found that Jordan was “a significant player in President Trump’s efforts” to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Snip...

29. In 2018, Ohio State University launched an independent investigation into allegations that the wrestling team’s former doctor, Richard Strauss, had sexually abused members of the team between the mid-1970s and late 1990s. Several former team members alleged that Jordan, an assistant coach from 1987-95, was aware of Strauss’ conduct and other instances of sexual abuse within the OSU athletic department yet failed to intervene.

Snip...

32. According to a report by the New York Times, Jordan contacted the elderly parents of Mark Coleman, a former OSU wrestler who had suggested that Jordan knew about Strauss’ behavior, in an effort to pressure Coleman into retracting his statement. “Unless he has Alzheimer’s, Jim Jordan knew,” Coleman told the Times.

Snip...

45. In October 2019, Jordan was among the two-dozen Republicans who stormed a secure facility inside the Capitol where investigators were deposing witnesses as part of the House’s impeachment investigation into Trump. The group was eventually dispersed by the House sergeant-at-arms.

Snip...

51. According to the Jan. 6 Committee report, Jordan led a conference call with Trump and other members of Congress on Jan. 2, 2021, to discuss strategies for delaying the certification of Electoral College votes in Congress on Jan. 6. The participants in the call also discussed posting on social media to encourage Trump supporters to “march to the Capitol.”

52. On Jan. 5, 2021, he texted Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to say that Vice President Mike Pence should “call out all the electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.”

53. Jordan voted against certifying Biden’s victory on Jan. 6.

54. The Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed him on May 11, 2022, seeking information related to its investigation. Jordan did not comply with the subpoena and failed to appear for a scheduled deposition.

Thus, I try to use my time to help the team understand who and what we're up against, as well as make fun of these fascist bastards. Like the other day, Trump's boss' body language in Big Beautiful Alaska when the two rode together in the Beast?



Hope this wasn't another of my repeats. Moreover, thank you for grokking.

The two of them shared a creepy moment where they smiled at each other like co-conspirators about to pounce on their prey.

She said I can't discuss these matters with a self congratulating grin. And Gym bounced in his seat as he said I hope you will look into who else he paid.

And it is weirder still because - Gym didn't even ask it in a formal part of the hearing. He asked it as he called a break for votes.

That's why Trump can constantly accuse people of what he is doing.
He's really too self-focussed to have a clue he's doing this.
Everyone under Trump is either attracted to him because they are already like that, or they are taking on Trump's personality disorder.
Yes, this is really a thing. Malignant Narcissism is contagious.

But it's still amazing when they hand us a quote that lays it all out there.
