That fucking guy Jim Jordan. That son of a bitch, Liz Cheney, a Republican congresswoman from Wyoming, told the chairman of the joint chiefs, Gen Mark Milley, about the Republican congressman from Ohio, according to I Alone Can Fix It, by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.
While these maniacs are going through the place, said Cheney, about the insurrection at the Capitol on 6 January, Im standing in the aisle and he said, We need to get the ladies away from the aisle. Let me help you. I smacked his hand away and told him, Get away from me. You fucking did this.
When the House Republican leader, Kevin McCarthy, a congressman from California, named Jordan and Jim Banks, of Indiana, both of whom challenged the legitimacy of Joe Bidens victory, to join the 13-member select committee on the Capitol insurrection, Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected the two men.
With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the select committee, Pelosi stated.
