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 CNN’s “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 haven’t 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 Bash’s concern, Jordan talked up Trump’s political chops while calling the Republican’s 2024 win the “greatest political comeback we’ve 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 party’s persistent voter fraud accusations appeared to evaporate after their camp emerged victorious on Tuesday.

“Last time around, it wasn’t 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 there’s a little bit of a [difference]?”

1. If anything, historians will know some time in the future.

With the voting and cheating being done on a digital level, there will be finger prints left behind.

2. And??

CNN Gets Election Skeptic Jim Jordan To Admit 2024 Race Was 'Free And Fair'.

BFD.

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

3. I think the headline on the article was a little misleading.

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!

5. Heads I win tails you lose.

Is there a national stupidity index yet?

[FakeNoose]

7. I get it - there's never fraud when the Repukes win, only when they lose

What does Captain Obvious say about that?

8. Like the Nazi Party history is going to be judging the Republican Party in the same way.

And with the exact same conclusion which isn't going to be a good look.
