Jamie Raskin Throws 'Benghazi' In Jim Jordan's Face
When Jordan "investigated" Benghazi, he demanded everyone testify, because nobody has the right to hide. Now that he's implicated in the insurrection? Not so much.

Rep Jamie Raskin used Jim Jordan's own words against him. It's about time we all did.

After saying he had "nothing to hide," the Ohio Republican Jordan has refused to cooperate with the House committee investigating the insurrection January 6.

J6 Committee Member Jamie Raskin joined MSNBC on Monday. He was asked his thoughts about Jordan's refusal.

Raskin said, "To answer Jim Jordan, I would quote Jim Jordan from the views that he expressed in the final Benghazi report, where he said that all of the truth must come out. Everybody needs to testify, and nobody's got the right to hide anything from Congress."

That seems to only apply to Democrats, right Gym?

Raskin continued, "So, I think he had it right then. Jim Jordan, more than anybody else, knows what dogged, aggressive investigation is about, even when he's on a wild goose chase, he demands all the information he wants, and we're not on that. We are on the central investigative mission certainly of this decade, if not this century, to get to the bottom of this terrible political crime that was incited and to a substantial extent organized by Donald Trump."

Jordan is one of the worst Congressmen ever. He ditched the U.S. Constitution and his constituents and swore allegiance to a narcissistic buffoon.

Jordan has information and is refusing to cooperate.

I think some Ohio voters should take a page from North Carolina voters who are objecting to Madison Cawthorn and demand Jordan be disqualified as a congressional candidate for his role in the insurrection and his refusal to come forward and testify.

In the Jim Jordan Republican silo, only Republicans are allowed to hide the facts and the truth.

3. It's all coming crashing down, soon exponentially. Anyone with eyes and ears and a brain can

see the clown train of fascism is over.

[Probatim]

4. From your keyboard to dog's ears - I hope your words come true.

[Wuddles440]

9. I wish that was the case...

but the embrace of fascism actually seems to be gaining momentum across our nation and worldwide. When at least half of the population does not accept what should be considered universal facts and truths, the future of our republic and democracy are in grave jeopardy!

[ZZenith]

29. "Were" the case...

You need the subjunctive form.

Where do you get “at least half” from? Can you please give us a link to that statistic?

14. Many in Germany said the same after Hitler's failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.

But look at what happened in 1932, 1933, & beyond. It took 10 years, but the fascists regrouped & ultimately succeeded in talking over the country.
This is what we MUST stop from happening in America, fascism on our own soil MUST be defeated.

A relevant article:

While Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and Trump’s January 6 coup attempt bore a striking resemblance in terms of the size of the insurrections and the resulting violence, the most notable similarity is the nature of the lies that led to the buildup of political tensions: Hitler’s lies about Germany’s defeat in World War I and Trump’s lies about voter fraud driving his loss in the 2020 election. Both were big lies that undermined faith in government institutions and gained credibility from frequent repetition.

In their immediate post-coup lives, Hitler had a much more difficult time than Trump, thanks to less forgiving rulers. Germany’s post–World War I democratic government aggressively prosecuted Hitler and nine of his associates for treason within months of the 1923 coup attempt. He was sent to prison the next year, serving nine months before getting himself paroled. A key condition of Hitler’s parole was that he refrain from speaking in public for two years. The classic 1960 history, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William Shirer, explains Hitler’s challenge this way: “A silenced Hitler was a defeated Hitler, as ineffective as a handcuffed pugilist in a ring.”

Hitler, according to Shirer, remained single-minded in his determination to revive the Nazi Party, via a two-part strategy: “to attack and undermine the government” and to operate as “a state within a state.”

18. On point

[Moebym]

22. History is repeating itself

Right in front of our eyes.

And it now has social media and the Dark Web to assist it.

[Captain Zero]

24. fascism on our own soil MUST be defeated. True

There are no Americans to come and save us like we did Europe.

Except those of us who are Americans.

[ZZenith]

30. The situations are very, very different.

Hitler was not disgraced on the worldwide stage by the Beer Hall Putsch.

[ZZenith]

27. God, I love this post.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

35. All the damn doom and gloom is ridiculous. Justice takes time, an element completely missing

in social media….not at all real conversations….where 12 hour investigations, prosecutions, trials and then the hanging are the norm.

In the real world there is great optimism that justice will prevail….open your ears, shut out the crap on social media and plunge into the news of the real world…warning, it’s a bit of work.

[ZZenith]

36. Exactly right.

There are tectonic shifts happening right now and some very large behemoths have been toppled but haven’t yet hit the ground.


EYES ON THE PRIZE, PEOPLE!!!

6. I love Raskin, sometimes he's just too polite. :)

but certainly on point.

[Doodley]

7. There were ten, yes TEN, Benghazi inquiries.

[AleksS]

12. And how many times did Hillary et al refuse to testify?

I feel like I remember her testifying...for hours...does anyone else remember that?

[ShazzieB]

26. I remember it vividly.

No running, no hiding, no complaining. (Even though she had way more to complain about than Jordan, had she chosen to do so.)

That's how adults handle things like this. Adults who, unlike Jordan, do not have a closet full of guilty secrets.

Liars and guilty secret hiders do not handle this sort of thing so well.

8. Jordan is more at risk with his newly drawn district. I hope he gets the boot. nt

[MadameButterfly]

21. I read that Ohio Republicans essentially sacrificed Jordan

with the re-drawing of the districts. Maybe they want the gym scandal to go away. Or the next one. Or the next...

[oldsoftie]

23. GA wanted to do that with MTG but her district is SO red. We wish.

[FakeNoose]

10. Thank you Rep. Jamie Raskin

Remind them WHY we call them "Repukes" and Jim Jordan is one of the Repukiest.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. I repeat myself - a Congressman who won't talk to Congress ain't worth much

to anyone, and especially not to Congress or voters.

[liberal N proud]

13. To be a republican is to be a hypocrite

In everything they do hypocrisy flows.

[CrispyQ]

15. Won't matter. Republicans have no shame. Absolutely none. -nt

[crickets]

16. Way to go, Jamie Raskin. More like this, please! nt

[sarcasmo]

17. A lot of situations only apply to the Democratic party.

[Boomerproud]

19. Don't say it on MSNBC, say it to his face.

[calimary]

20. "...some Ohio voters...". WHAT ON EARTH were they thinking?

Maybe “thinking” just wasn’t part of the equation.

[Wounded Bear]

25. K & R...nt

[GoodRaisin]

28. Big K&R

Jordan should be disqualified just for being a piece of shit and stand trial for looking the other way while at Ohio State.

[Beartracks]

32. What?? A Republican is a lying hypocrite??

[kentuck]

33. Is Jim Jordan so self-unaware that he doesn't recall his self-righteous stint on the Committee...

...that investigated the death of 4 CIA agents in Benghazi, Libya.

They would go to no end to find out all the facts.
