Mediaite: “Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), one of President Donald Trump’s most ardent backers, refused to acknowledge that President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 election ‘fair and square’ under questioning from a House Democrat. In a fiery exchange during a meeting of the House Rules Committee Tuesday morning, committee chair Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) grilled Jordan – in an effort to get the Ohio congressman to state that Biden won a fair contest. ‘Will you admit that Joe Biden won fair and square?’ McGovern asked Jordan. ‘And the election was not rigged or stolen?'”
“‘So is that a yes?’ McGovern asked. ‘Of course it’s a yes,’ Jordan replied. Only, it turned out not to be a yes when McGovern restated his question. ‘I’m asking you to make a statement that the election was not stolen,’ McGovern said. ‘That Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won fair and square.’ ‘No, the question you asked me was, ‘Is Joe Biden … the president-elect,’ Jordan said – misstating McGovern’s query. ‘And I said, ‘Yes he is.” ‘So Joe Biden won fair and square,’ McGovern said. Jordan refused to capitulate. ‘He won because the way the process works is the last chance to object is January 6th,’ Jordan said. And that objection didn’t prevail.'”
