Jim Jordan is a full on clown. I've seen live house debates where he literally yelled nonsense at people. And that's the guy they want to be speaker of the house?
Yelling nonsense is a job requirement for his caucus.
Only thing they care about
An idiot announces support for another idiot. What did it do? Get this dumbass's name into news headlines.
Note that on the other side of believing and endorsing pretty much every conspiracy theory on the books from elections to UFOs, this moron has been in Congress for 16 years and has done absolutely nothing productive. Rolling up his sleeves and throwing tantrums in lieu of any proper decorum for someone in his position doesn't count.
His entire mission in federal government has been to prevent federal government from functioning properly and then crying about how federal government doesn't function properly. He is the perfect model of the ideal GQP operative.
And that's of course not to mention old Gym being a spineless piece of shit who helped cover up the abuse of hundreds of athletes.
But she's aware of the allegations now?
Fucking exactly!
"I don't know anything about that."
"Well now you do. So what do you think about it?"
She'll have her people allegedly look at it.
Who tf is Nancy Mace?
The dumbass politician that vandalized her own home years ago in an attempt to stay relevant and play the victim card… https://twitter.com/bessbell/status/1399824925800636416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1399824925800636416%7Ctwgr%5E1c8cb271bc477781f47bed25c647c91663ca0e85%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.snopes.com%2Ffact-check%2Fnancy-mace-rumor-alert%2F Also her father was some big wig military asshole… typical southern republican corrupt power-family bullshit. Nancy Mace can fuck right off.
Haha this dumb twat? I remember everyone being like who spray paints I cursive?!?!!
Ohhhh yeah… she’s not wrong though haha (APAB)
I believe she's the wife of Mace Windu.
Definitely not. No way would that bad motherfucker marry her.
My biggest socialedia pet peeve: why is it that those who know the least of a topic are the first to comment on it?
To add context to the answer below, its significant as she was one of the few Repubs who publicly blamed Trump for Jan 6, but she's been tacking hard right as of late.
Yeah… my pet peeve is people who feel the need to say that first sentence. Like, can’t you just hold back to be civil?
This ones my pet peeve 👆
/s
😉
Wasn't being uncivil, nor was that my intent, just clearly suggesting that if you don't know much about a topic, perhaps having some self-restraint and not commenting would be a better course for all.
If you don’t ask questions, you can’t learn. Clearly education isn’t high on your list. You must be a conservative voter lmfao.
Clearly education isn't your priority, as you proudly make clear you don't have much of one. To turn it slightly uncivil, go be 14 years old elsewhere.
How isn’t it? The question you’re complaining about was a question about who she was. A quest for education. That’s your pet peeve. Questions?
Go back to Reddit, where you belong.
Ignoring allegations of ignoring allegations? It’s almost too perfect.
Coming soon... "I'm a very strong voice for women, and the allegations were about male wrestlers so they don't count. Men can be raped? Huh?"
Boys. Boys were raped.
"Boys can be raped? Huh?"
Republicans embrace pedophilia as long as they can pretend they don't know about it.
She really said "I don't know" five times in row like that? WTF.
Edit. Read the article. This lady is absolutely delusional.
How about we change that to "I don't know anything."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Nancy Mace announced she plans to support Rep. Jim Jordan to replace ousted House speaker Kevin McCarthy, whom she voted to remove from office last week.
When pressed about the allegations that Jordan ignored sexual assaults by a team doctor while he was a wrestling coach at Ohio State University, the Republican congresswoman claimed to not “know anything” about the issue, despite it being widely reported.
“I know you’ve been outspoken about defending victims of sexual assault,” Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan said to Mace on Sunday.
Mace also noted she is working on a bill with Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee to address the large backlog of unprocessed rape kits.
Host Margaret Brennan pressed Mace on her endorsement, pointing out harsh words from former Rep. Liz Cheney, who recently cautioned Republicans not to elect Jordan speaker because he was the member of Congress who knew the most about Trump’s plans for Jan. 6.
Trump has been credibly accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, and lost not just one but two defamation suits brought by columnist E. Jean Carroll after he denied that he raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.
The original article contains 686 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
These stories drive me insane. News media brings on a Republican who claims ignorance to some horrible thing.
The answer here is "ok thank you for coming in our program Representative Mace. You can return to our network when you've taken a look into this thing that's been in the public for years and have a comment on it. Until then you are no longer welcome on -insert network here-
Never invite them back. You are an elected official. You don't get to pick and choose what you have to answer.
