Gym Jordan is extremely 'pay no attention to the man behind the curtain' about Jan. 6

Rep. Jim Jordan wants to know why people are talking about “old news” about the attack on the U.S. Capitol. The “old news” in question? The fact that Jordan spoke with Donald Trump at some point on Jan. 6, though he’s not saying exactly when during the day that happened. So that was certainly news at the point that it emerged. And as for the “old” part, Jordan only admitted to the conversation with Trump last week—and Monday brought news of the deaths by suicide of two more officers who responded to the attack.

At the time Jordan acknowledged the conversation, he was dodgy and evasive about exactly when on Jan. 6 he spoke with Trump. “I spoke with him that day, after?” Jordan said. “I think after. I don’t know if I spoke with him in the morning or not. I just don’t know … I don’t know when those conversations happened.”

Sure. Either there is about to be, or there is ongoing, or there has just been, a bloody attack on the U.S. Capitol while you, as a member of the House of Representatives, are there conducting congressional business, and you just can’t quite remember when you spoke to the leader of the party, the man who rules your world.

No, that’s something you remember.
