Democratic pitbull California Congressman Eric Swalwell goes after Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan’s personal distaste for following the law and complying with subpoenas. Speaking to the Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Swalwell went after Jordan’s hypocrisy:
It’s a hard job. If it’s an easy job, we wouldn’t have asked you to do it, but you were asked to do it because you’re qualified, you’re competent, you care. You show compassion. You show up every day and you deal with [idiocy from Republicans]. Frankly, sir, I think sometimes you’re too nice because if I had a chairman who failed to honor his own lawful subpoena about 500 days after it was submitted to him, I would say, ‘Catch me when you’re serious. Come talk to me when you’re going to follow the law about whether you think I follow the law. But that’s not who you are. You take your job seriously even in front of a lot of unserious people.
