Former RNC chairman to Jim Jordan on Jan. 6: 'You know, b****, what time you called the president'

Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele called Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan a "son of a b****" for his recent remarks that he wasn't certain whether he spoke to former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6.

The former RNC chairman, a frequent critic of the former president, expressed disbelief that Jordan would be uncertain of the details of his conversation with Trump surrounding the events of Jan. 6.

"I can tell you the time, the place, the date of every conversation I've had with every president of this country, period," Steele said during a Thursday livestream for the Lincoln Project, a group of current and former Republican operatives who oppose Trump. "Going back to Bill Clinton, I can tell you where I was. I can tell you what was said. This son of a b**** is sitting up there acting like, 'Well, I don't know if it was before. I don't know if it was after. Oh, lordy, Jesus, I don't remember. I got to look at my notes.' You know, b****, what time you called the president, and you know what you said."

Steele then compared Jordan, who's a "grown a** man," to a 10-year-old who "got caught masturbating by [his] mama."

They were ratcheting up the big lie at the time, and Jordan was certainly part of that.

A 10 year old caught lying or something would have been better. Any parent who catches a 10 year old masturbating should know that its 100% normal and should be looked upon as such. The very last thing any decent parent would do is to make a child feel ashamed of such a natural activity.

not the parent.
Surely you can't believe that a 10 year old caught choking the chicken by his Mom would not be embarrassed, but instead would likely say, "What's the big deal? It's perfectly natural."
Steele is comparing Jordan's floundering response to that of 99.9% of 10 year old boys in that circumstance, and his analogy is spot-on.
