Jim Jordan's 'In America' Rant Goes Very Wrong, Very Quickly
HuffPost
The GOP congressman's latest message had two key flaws.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is getting called out on social media for a rant about flags that doesn’t seem to apply to everyone.
Jordan retweeted a message from the House Judiciary Committee ― which he chairs ― showing a Mexican flag at the scene of the chaotic protests in Los Angeles.
He followed that up with a message of his own:
Jordan’s critics flagged him on X with two quick reminders: that the First Amendment allows people to fly whatever flag they want... and that Jordan hasn’t highlighted other flags flown, such as Confederate flags, especially at events in support of President Donald Trump.
Trump supporters have also flown a number of flags that violate the U.S. Flag Code by including images of Trump and MAGA messages on them.
Critics have likened this weekend's planned pageantry to the jingoistic displays of military might seen in North Korea.
The president then joked about the first lady taking his job.
It was a "huge surrender" by Trump, said the MSNBC anchor, who ripped him as "the stupidest man in the room."
"I may have voted for Trump, but..." the controversial pugilist posted on social media.
Newsom offered a brief yet blistering summary of his talk with the president just before he deployed the National Guard to protests in Los Angeles.
The Homeland Security secretary's claim about Sen. Alex Padilla quickly backfired on social media.
The congresswoman shaded Rep. Tim Burchett over his immigration question by making one thing "very clear" about the Republican Party.
The federal judge's order said the deployment of the Guard both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump's statutory authority.
While Democrats slammed the Trump administration for resorting to authoritarian tactics, GOP lawmakers blamed Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) for the ugly episode.
The senator is clearly heard giving his name as "Sen. Alex Padilla" at a distance of just a few feet away.
MAGA influencer Bo Loudon claims he got some "buddies in the administration" to have the world's most-followed TikTok creator, Khaby Lame, detained.
It won’t fix the nation’s fiscal health, but it sure will help Republicans feel better about making it worse.
