Hey, Jim Jordan, I Haven't Forgotten
I despise you; always have, always will.
Today Republicans are going to nominate Jim Jordan to be Speaker of the House. We all know he’s awful, but for me it’s personal. He attempted to impugn my husband’s character and I’m still pissed off about that.
When Alex testified in the public impeachment hearings, Jordan spent a long time teeing up a gotcha moment that never was when he said Alex’s boss for about 20 minutes, Tim Morrison, “questioned Alex’s judgement” (something Mr. Morrison said during his closed-door testimony and desperately tried to walk back in his public testimony). Alex then busted out the performance review Dr. Fiona Hill wrote twelve days before The Perfect Call™, “Alex is a top 1% military officer and the best Army officer I have worked with in my 15 years of government service. He is brilliant, unflappable, and exercises excellent judgment...Exemplary during numerous visits...I think you get the idea.”

Then Jordan—a guy who protected a pedophile while my husband served and defended the United States—had the audacity to question Alex’s integrity and his commitment to properly handling classified information. That still sticks in my craw.
We now have countless other reasons to despise Jim Jordan and plenty more evidence that he is unfit to serve as Speaker or, you know, work at a neighborhood lemonade stand and yet there are way too many House Republicans saying he’s the guy they need. Life hack: Live your life in such a manner that you never find yourself in a situation where Jim Jordan is your best hope.
Believe it or not, many former and current elected Republicans have quietly thanked Alex for his courage and I would love the opportunity to ask them: WHERE IS YOURS?You know electing Jim Jordan would be a disaster. You know he isn’t respected and he can’t fundraise. Many of you strongly opposed him just a few days ago but now you’re on board; what did he promise you to change your mind?
We talk a lot about how the MAGA cult stokes fear as a means of control, but we don’t talk enough about elected Republicans’ fear of irrelevance. Electing Jim Jordan is the first step to permanent irrelevance for many of them but they’re too blinded by their own ambition to understand that.
I watched every moment of your husband's testimony and he ran rings around all the Orange ass kissers. I wouldn't believe Gym Jordan if he told me the sky was blue without checking for myself.
I can answer your question: They're all terrified of the Orange Asscactus (apologies for the language) and Sean Hannity.
