Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) just got put on the spot about why he only cried foul over election fraud when his candidate was on the losing end of the vote. During a stop by CNNs State of the Union on Sunday, moderator Dana Bash pressed the congressman to explain why he was taking the results of the 2024 race at face value when he was such a staunch critic of what went down during the 2020 election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
I havent seen you or your colleagues claiming any election irregularities, no rampant voting fraud this time, Bash pointed out. It seems to me that Republicans claim voting fraud and election integrity when you lose and not when you win. Instead of addressing Bashs concern, Jordan talked up Trumps political chops while calling the Republicans 2024 win the greatest political comeback weve ever seen.
As the congressman went on about the contrast between Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris campaign, Bash pushed Jordan to answer why his partys persistent voter fraud accusations appeared to evaporate after their camp emerged victorious on Tuesday.
Last time around, it wasnt so much about the policy differences or personality differences. There were false claims about election fraud when Donald Trump lost, she said. This time Donald Trump won and you think the election was free and fair. You see theres a little bit of a [difference]?

BFD.
Trump is still President-elect, so WTF does it matter what Jordan says?

(18,812 posts)Jordan didn't actually "admit" anything. To me, the significance of this interview was the way Bash kept pressing her point about the irony of the GOP accepting the outcome of an election their guy won with no reservations, after insisting (despite a complete lack of evidence) that an election he lost was riddled with fraud.
She never backed down, no matter how much he tried to talk over her, and she ended the interview with a strong statement about the lack of any evidence of election fraud in 2020. I was very impressed with her refusal to let him derail the conversation. She actually made him squirm a little. Well done, Dana!
