Jordan calls on Cheney to step down from House leadership

[Zorro]

Source: The Hill

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is calling on House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to be removed from leadership for announcing her plans to vote to impeach President Trump for inciting last week's riot at the Capitol.

Jordan, a founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and one of Trump's top defenders in the House, joined other GOP allies of Trump in calling for Cheney to step down from the role.

"We ought to have a second vote," he told reporters, according to the Capitol Hill reporter pool. "The conference ought to vote on that."

Jordan's comments echo those of Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) and Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).

"When Representative Cheney came out for impeachment today, she failed to consult with the Conference, failed to abide by the spirit of the rules of the Republican Conference, and ignored the preferences of Republican voters," Rosendale said in a statement Tuesday.

"She is weakening our conference at a key moment for personal political gain and is unfit to lead. She must step down as Conference Chair."

2. I love it when idiots fight.

I never, in my life, had I ever thought I'd be rooting for Liz Cheney.

[twodogsbarking]

11. Think of it as rooting for

a cause not Liz; but I too thank her.

[StClone]

60. Exactly! She is evil spawn but she is slaying the dragon

[still_one]

20. yup

[Bev54]

23. I hope Liz tells the little weenie to his face to Fuck Off.

[kiri]

30. Cheney's vote is 33,000 times more worth than yours

Remember Cheney comes from a state with 3 electoral votes--the fewest a state can have.

Her vote gets 33,000 TIMES the worth a citizen voter in California or New York.

3. gym jordan is really good at defending criminals

like pedophiles, traitors, seditionists. Just when you think he's plumbed his own depths, he goes even lower.

[groundloop]

69. Gotta' wonder of Gym was one of the insiders who helped the insurrectionists

He's always carried Benedict Donald's water for him, it's not too much of a stretch for him to have been involved.

[Marthe48]

71. I think he lacks physical courage

hard to think he had the guts to go that far. He's more like the guy who stands in the hallway and squeals if someone is coming toward the perps.

[Walleye]

4. So it's not a vote of conscience?

[twodogsbarking]

7. You didn't need to add

the question mark.

49. Either way it works

House is debating.

6. No. She Will Lose Because GOP is racist and misogynistic

Still, kudos to her for abiding by her oath to uphold the Constitution.

[ResistantAmerican17]

10. Hit the showers Gym. And ignore that thing you know is going on, just like before.

[lagomorph777]

12. Gym needs to be expelled.

16. Mankind would be much better

if we had never heard of Gym.

[C_U_L8R]

17. It's the more crazy side against the less crazy side

I think Jordan is getting ahead of himself and might be outliving his usefulness to the GOP

[mdbl]

18. jordan is such a trump-suck

he needs to go.

[Auggie]

19. He is so loathsome

[Rebl2]

21. Maybe some

Democrats should stand up for her. I realize they likely have no say though do they?

[gademocrat7]

22. Gym jacket off Jordan is a deplorable man.

He is one of the most odious people in Congress.

[Karma13612]

48. My favorite

Nick name for him is

Gym “Shorts-no-jacket” Jordan

[malchickiwick]

24. It is such a weird feeling be on the same side as a Cheney. Must be a blizzard in hell today.

[electric_blue68]

54. Well it did snow in North Texas just 2 days ago 😉

[marble falls]

25. That Medal of Freedom has plumb gone to that boy's feeble brain. My money's on Cheney ...

... and I don't care for her much.

[Jetheels]

26. Hey Gym, locker room calling they found your jacket.

[Xipe Totec]

27. You're next, Gym. nt

[onetexan]

29. I muted the jackass. Can't bear to hear whatever comes out of his mouth.

[Xipe Totec]

38. I meant he's next to be removed from office, after Trump. nt

[onetexan]

39. whoa really? that wld be amazing, one less jackass in Congress

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Don't know if he still has the votes

Something like 130 House R voted to reject the ECV, but after this fallout from the insurrection it's difficult to see that many staying with it unless out of fear. But we can't let America be ruled by threat and violence. Guess the GOP is used to it though.

[BlueWavePsych]

31. Invite Jordan on a hunting trip.

[RVN VET71]

33. Little Jim calls on Big Liz to step down!

This mouthy little twerp, this voyeur jacking it to a wrestling coach and boys in the shower, this pissant in shirtsleeves is going to take down Liz Cheney, daughter of a Vice President of the U.S. for acting against a man who unleashed his army of unwashed hounds on the U.S. Capitol?

Sorry, I almost spritzed the water I was drinking. This tiny little man should know that his faction of the Republican Party is over and he cannot reverse history. He should also know that whatever is left of the GOP after this debacle is not going to look kindly on him, nor will his voters. (Well, maybe not his voters.)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. I'm beginning to think now that there will be Three (3) parties on the right

1) Rational Conservatives like Lincoln Project conservatives who are willing to work with Democrats.

2) Rotting Elephant Carcass Party clever but corrupt like McConnell, Pence, and Collins clinging to the remnants of the Greed Over People party.

3) MAGA Q God Emperor of the US party with Gym "Medal of Freedom" Jordan and Graham and a horde of similar miscreants.

[Ligyron]

59. Pretty safe prediction.

[blue-wave]

36. The republiCons

are eating themselves alive.

[machoneman]

52. Wonderful, isnt' it? It's like springtime in January! Love it!

[3825-87867]

37. Doesn't Jacketoff Gym remind you

of a used car salesman from the 50s? Or a commercial hawker on TV that has to shout as loudly as possible and talk as fast as possible because he thinks that makes you have to listen?

Would you buy a car off this rube? Or anything for that matter?

[True Blue American]

43. Trump wantabe!

[George II]

40. My bet too. Kind of sad when we find ourselves rooting for one as loathesome as Liz Cheney, eh?

But at times like this that's how it goes.

[Historic NY]

41. Lets remove GYM Jordan the perverted insurrectionist.

[True Blue American]

42. Just read that in my local paper. Smart guy, Jordan.

58. Sarcasm or...I'm hoping sarcasm.

As private companies, online platforms can do anything they like.

1st Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

But there are exceptions even to this:

18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES

§2385. Advocating overthrow of Government

"Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so...Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction."

[pazzyanne]

78. Devinitely sarcasm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nt

[Dr.Bluebird42]

80. Whew!

So so sorry and relieved.

[Paladin]

50. Eat a bowl of fuck, Gym Jordan. (nt)

[LudwigPastorius]

73. .

[roamer65]

53. She can always go (I) and causus with the Dems.

She would serve the people of WY better in that capacity.

[still_one]

56. from the jackass who ignored warnings of sexual abuse at Ohio State

[Evolve Dammit]

57. Not in goose-stepping, lockstep Liz. Tsk. Tsk. Must be sent to Russian front. nt

[mdbl]

61. The USA calls on Jordan to get fucked and resign

i was sick of the op title.

[Marie Marie]

62. Is Gym yapping again? Yawn!

[patphil]

63. Jordan accusing Cheney of being out for personal gain is hilarious.

Jim Jordan is an angry, violent man who constantly acts out for the cameras. He is the personification of acting for personal gain.
And he is not only unfit to lead, he is unfit for Congress.
I'm not a fan of Liz Cheney, but she has a lot more courage than Jordan ever had.
Oh, and everybody in the "Freedom" Caucus already knew where she stood on impeachment. She's been talking about it for days...no surprise there.

[Nitram]

64. The circular firing squad has begun.

[VA_Jill]

65. When

Liz Cheney and I are in the same boat, I know the world has gone sideways.

[mjvpi]

66. I'll raise you a Mitt Romney

[VA_Jill]

74. Nah

Mitt and I have been in the same boat more than once. The last time Lizardbreath Cheney and I were on the same side was when she defended her lesbian sister.

My hatred of the Cheneys goes all the way back to the 1960s when I made the acquaintance of her godawful daddy at University of Wisconsin, back in the day when he was a grad student there, getting one of his 5 deferments from Vietnam. That sneer was present even then.

[Rhiannon12866]

81. My exact thought, too!

[JohnnyRingo]

68. I guess she's just not a team player.

Couldn't have anything to do with what's right for the sake of our nation, she must hate Trump.

These modern day republicans are shameful. The days of Goldwater, Nixon, and Reagan are over. They may have resented poor people, but I think they loved their country.

[LudwigPastorius]

70. That motherfucker should be picking up towels in a Junior High School locker room...

instead of speaking on the floor of the House.

[lark]

72. Biggs will be out of Congress shortly for colluding with the seditionists.

Can't wait until this happens for him, Gosar, Bolert & Kim.

[onetexan]

75. the person unfit to lead is him - Jordan. Shame on him & all the others who keep enabling the Con

even now that he's been kicked out.

[ladym55]

76. When will Mr. Collusion be removed from Congress for violating the 14th Amendment?

Asking for an embarrassed state of Ohio. It's bad when out-of-state friends and relatives call and ask, "Who's the jerk?"

I know we have MANY jerks in Congress from Ohio and a total spineless turd in the Senate (looking at you, "Call Me Rob" Portman), but Gym stands out in the crowd as the biggest jerk and the MOST unethical.

[bluestarone]

77. I'd like to make a motion to classify Jorden as leader of the SWAMP PIT!

Can i get a second on this?

[AntiFascist]

79. Bravery in the GOP? Unheard of! n/t
