It'd be fine if it didn't affect his actions. But he wrote that internal guidance memo last year before the antitrust hearings with the 4 big tech companies, instructing members to avoid any antitrust threats, but instead ask BS questions about stuff like market and international competition, as well as the need to "highlight and examine bias" (which is just toothless talk if there are no actual consequences behind it. How long have we highlighted and examined bias while the censorship just gets worse?)
He wrote that the congress shouldn't do anything more because Barr's DOJ had ongoing investigations and that they should trust Barr to bring "the appropriate enforcement methods," and "given those investigations, calls to charge antitrust [the whole point of the hearing] are arguably premature." He even called any action interventionist and protectionist, and uses the muh stifling innovation talking point.
It was like a long instruction manual on how to appear as though they were doing something, while actually actively protecting those companies. One of the most dispiriting things I've ever read, because I really wanted him to be the real deal.
Unfortunately for him all previous blowhards turn out to be worthless. Trey Gowdy comes to mind. Sean Hannity on the non-politician side as well. If you're allowed to see it/hear it, it's a pre-approved message. Jim Jordan asks Fauci for a number, but what he should have done is tell his constituents right in front of Fauci, "you all go back to your lives, Im going to take care of this twerp." These reps need to remember the job is not to ask permission of bureaucrats, but to beat back government intrusion.
Same. I think this about ALL of them, regardless of how based or MAGA they appear. MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, etc, I’m always hopeful they are the real deal, but kinda expect to be disappointed when they prove otherwise. Just feel like we can’t trust ANY of them.
I'll be really sad if Jordan turns out to be a swamprat.
He takes donations from big tech. Sorry but that's a big red flag.
Not necessarily. I would gladly take money and continue to fight for freedom using it.
Dawg they don't give politicians money for no reason.

Gowdy, Hawley, Gaetz...all snakes. Tucker and Hannity too.
Tucker is getting really really close to naming (((them))), it's getting interesting.
If he does, it's because he has permission.
What makes you think that??
I want to believe Jim Jordan isn't a swamp rat but the election left such a bad taste in my mouth. I can't trust anyone and want everyone out.

i don't think he will, one of the very few IMO
