Shut Jim Jordan's mike off already and have the Sgt. at Arms haul his ass out, Jerry!

This is the 2nd time lately that his rude demeaning mouth off. A few day ago in another committee meeting Maxine Waters told him to Respect the Chair and shut up.




Shut Jim Jordan’s mike off already and have the Sgt. at Arms haul his ass out, Jerry! If he wants to act like a petulant, unruly child, it’s time to start treating him like one. And bravo to Val Demings!

Jim Jordan, Val Demings get in shouting match about police during hearing

A House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday devolved into a screaming match after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) interrupted Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) as she criticized an amendment put forward by House Republicans.

Demings was criticizing a proposed amendment to a hate crimes bill that would prevent police agencies from being defunded. NBC News noted that the bill itself does not have a provision taking away funds from police departments.

The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act
, sponsored by Rep. Grace Meng (D-N.Y.), encourages the reporting and review of anti-Asian hate crimes relating to the coronavirus pandemic.

Demings, a former Orlando police chief, addressed Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), saying, “I want to make it quite clear that this amendment is completely irrelevant.”

“I served as a law enforcement officer for 27 years
. It is a tough job and good police officers deserve your support,” Demings continued. “You know, it’s interesting to see my colleagues on the other side of the aisle support the police when it is politically convenient to do so. Law enforcement risk their lives everyday. They deserve better.”

He seems to go after women who are speaking out. We should have a poll on who he's apt to go after next.
