Jim Jordan has been in Congress for 16 years and the number of bills he has sponsored which became law is zero. The number of bills he has sponsored which passed the House is also zero. He had one resolution pass, to create the "Deep State" subcommittee.

Charlie Sykes on the House GOP: "They scoffed at norms, flouted the law, and lost interest in the idea of majority rule. They mocked consensus, compromise, prudence, and bipartisanship. . . They handed flamethrowers to clowns."

x Jim Jordan was involved in Trump's conspiracy to steal the election and seize power; he urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes. If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They’ll lose the House majority and they’ll deserve to. — Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) October 13, 2023 "If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They’ll lose the House majority and they’ll deserve to," tweeted Cheney. She went on to draw attention to the close relationship Jordan has with disgraced insurrectionist Donald Trump, and slammed him for working to overturn the 2020 election. "Jim Jordan was involved in Trump’s conspiracy to steal the election and seize power," she added. "He urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes."In a speech last week, Cheney ripped into Jordan, saying that if he wins the Speakership there will "no longer be any possible way to argue that a group of elected Republicans could defend against the Constitution." "Jim Jordan knew more about what Donald Trump had planned for Jan. 6 than any other member of the House of Representatives," she said in the speech last week. "Jim Jordan was involved, was part of the conspiracy in which Donald Trump was engaged as he attempted to overturn the election." Cheney is right. Jim Jordan belongs in prison, not wielding the Speaker's gavel. x If Jim Jordan was”involved in Trump's conspiracy to steal the election and seize power,” as Liz Cheney says, then a plotter against out Constitution and democracy could be elected Speaker—Jordan would be in charge of House security and second in line of Presidential succession. — Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) October 14, 2023
