How can Hillary Clinton resist Tweetstorming pantywaist Jim Jordan?
Did you see the headline the other day saying that Jim Jordan, the junk yard dog of Republicans in the House, won’t agree to be questioned by the January 6 committee?
It wasn’t that long ago when Jordan demanded that Hillary Clinton sit in front of a similar committee to answer ridiculous charges about some stupid Republican conspiracy theory. The endless Benghazi “investigations” wasted millions of taxpayer dollars to achieve nothing but political “gotchas” for Republicans.
But even though the Benghazi committees were pure political theater, Hillary Clinton—a real public servant who has a Democrat’s respect for the Constitution and the power of Congress—went in front of Jordan’s committee and subjected herself to eleven hours of over-the-top fake Republican outrage.
And she walked out just as strong as she walked in.
And Jordan and the Republicans couldn’t pin any fake charges on her. That was fine with them. They got some taxpayer-funded videos of Republicans fuming at Clinton that Fox News could run or several months.
But Jordan doesn’t have the guts to talk to the January 6 committee. This wimp said he had “nothing to hide” about January 6. I guess that true. We already know that he played a central role in the January 6 coup. He just doesn’t want to be forced to admit it.
Of course, this is the Republican behavior that we have come to expect. They rage and rail at their opponents when they have the upper hand. But when they get caught out, they hide behind implausible excuses, claims of political victimization, and intelligence-insulting nonsensical defensive babbling. Anything to avoid accountability.
Jordan is just one of the Trumpistas playing this game. Think Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Mark Meadows, Kevin McCarthy, and soon Mike Pence and Rudy Giuliani. Republicans, especially Trump-lovers, are cowards.
I can’t understand why Hillary isn’t releasing Tweets around the clock razzing Jordan for his pusillanimity. “What kind of weenie can’t sit for eleven hours in front of a Congressional committee? This kind of weenie”—attached to an image of Jordan looking as stupid as he is, like the picture at the head of this post.
Jim Jordan isn’t one-billionth the man that Hillary Clinton is. She could lick all the other Republicans who are trying hide from the January 6 committee with one hand tied behind her back.
They are all wusses in wolves’ clothing.
We should all be ridiculing them nonstop. They are shameless, so shaming them is impossible. It would be better to make them laughing stocks.
Even stupid people won’t vote for objects of ridicule.
And if there is one thing that the past five years have proved it’s that there are a lot of stupid people voting in America right now.
Don’t stop complaining about evil Republicans are doing. But in addition, we should point at them and laugh out loud and call others over to laugh at them too.
There’s nothing that melts a wuss like embarrassment.
We have to figure out how to embarrass them into oblivion.
Maybe then we can get back to making democracy work.
