Jake Tapper calls out Rep. Jim Jordan over his baseless Hunter Biden accusations: "It's facts and I would think that somebody who's been accused of things in that last year or two would be more sensitive about throwing out wild allegations against people."

1. Does Gym Jordan own a jacket?

Such a lying fraud

[Poiuyt]

3. I know, right?

I'm so sick of his schtick about not wearing a coat.

[Scarsdale]

21. Maybe appearing without a jacket

is his way of appearing to be "working"? If so, we are NOT fooled, Gym. Remember when Dubya would dig out that blue checkered shirt, with sleeves rolled up to clear brush on his "ranch"? Strangely, his gloves and tools were all brand spanking new.

[dalton99a]

33. +1. Reagan also did his own landscaping

[William Seger]

48. With Jordon, it should be a chain saw and a ski mask

[paleotn]

37. Nah. He's showing his disrespect for the Dems who control the House.

Prior to Pelosi taking over as speaker, he wore a suit coat like every other male member of the House. Gym is nothing but a piece of excrement enabler of sexual predators as a wrestling at OSU.

[LiberalFighter]

12. He would prefer wearing his wrestling tights.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

30. Trying to do his best to look like a hyperactive wrestling coach...

... is my take on it.

[usaf-vet]

19. He does but it is an open visible act of rebellion against congressional norms to not wear a jacket.

He's a rebel without a brain. Just a hollow cranial cavity loaded with unfounded corruption conspiracies ready to pop out at any moment.

[Lucky Luciano]

22. Who cares about the jacket. I care that he is a monumental asshole. nt

[stopdiggin]

47. in general, I agree

we have had a recent crash course in where lack of respect and a disdain of "norms" can take us. On the other hand, I can remember the positive tizzy we made (or tried to make) out of things like who was wearing a lapel pin -- or a beige suit coat. It seems like we approve of our own brand of "rebel" -- and not so much the other guys.

[Schmice3]

45. Iggy Pop

He is the Iggy Pop of Congress He was a wrestling coach and going coatless shows he is already ready for a fight. Big man who was accused of doing nothing to protect sexual assault victims from predators on the squad. Neanderthal knuckle dragger at heart.

[HootieMcBoob]

51. Iggy Pop?

What in the world does any of that have to do with Iggy Pop?

[Midnight Writer]

57. He gave up on jackets because he keeps busting out of them, Hulk-like.

[Sudsy]

59. He wants to be

the next Newt Gingrich. Throwing shit and wearing a white shirt without a jacket are the "brand" he wishes to create. Occasionally, he foregoes the tie too, just to see how it plays.

[dewsgirl]

2. That was brutal.

Sidenote, does this guy ever wear a jacket at all anymore? Is it a sign of disrespect?

[TEB]

4. Agreed

[democrank]

8. No article of clothing will ever change what Jordan is.

[dewsgirl]

9. Such a POS.

[BlueStater]

5. Owned!

While I'm not sure this pedophile enabler even should have been invited on at all, if it's to make him look like the ass that he is I can't complain too much.

[TheRealistRealist]

6. Great job Jake

We need more of this from MSM.

[Habibi]

7. I like how Jordan is all hunched over,

like a little kid getting a scolding.

[imanamerican63]

10. That is exactly what GOPers want?

To confuse and run from the truth!

[PCIntern]

11. Jordan reminds me of nearly every abuser

I’ve ever known. He could be from Central Casting and has a film and tv career after his stupidity-filled tenure in the House

[onetexan]

15. Douchebag Jordan - always the Dumpster's pathetic apologist

The GOP have no shame

[True Blue American]

52. A quote

Lawyer that did not take the test.

[StarfishSaver]

13. Katy Tur handled a Trump campaign official in a similar manner the other day

Came armed with facts and unleashed them on him at the right time.

Glad to see some of the media doing this.

[Mike 03]

16. Saw that. She was excellent.

[hlthe2b]

14. This stuff is killing me. I felt my BP rising, just reading the subject line...

Honestly, the recent FOX (yes, FOX) poll showing Americans are overwhelmingly exhausted by Trump's Presidency




and even worse for Trump, are losing confidence in the economy:

[Farmer-Rick]

31. Oh....that's not good about the economy.

Is it the wisdom of the crowd? Or more likely, filthy rich white men are getting nervous about losing their puppet in the White House.

[smirkymonkey]

55. Is that Sept 2010 a typo?

in the 2nd poll? I am assuming so.

[hlthe2b]

56. yes.. I'm on iphone right now, but if you go to the Fox site it gives the text information.

[William Seger]

18. Willful ignorance is indistinguishable from stupidity

[lunatica]

39. I like that

[packman]

20. That video is a thing of beauty

Needs to be played over and over in Jordan's district.

He's all shirt, no jacket

[samnsara]

23. flipping thru the channels that was the one part i actually saw...

[OxQQme]

24. WOMP, WOMP!

Sic'em Jake.....
Jordan may be the #1 repub creep.

[Jim__]

25. That's the way the media has to put down lies.

Don't let them push the false story. Call them on it immediately.

[KPN]

32. If they are patriots to the smallest degree, they (the media/journalists) need to challenge

every single GOP bullshit contention about Hunter Biden, the Ukrainian investigation, and any other false narrative they are and will be putting out there to undermine, distract from or alter the facts related to the whistle-blower complaint/impeachment inquiry.

Thank you and go get them Jake Tapper! Keep it up -- we're counting on you; the nation's survival as we know it is counting on you!

[Ligyron]

34. That was a thing of beauty!

[SergeStorms]

35. The GOP has it's talking points....

and you don't dare go on any news program and not use those talking points. Republicans are incredibly uniform in their defense of the Traitor-Trump, and I believe they will be right to the very end. Then they'll tell everyone that their lying eyes and ears were all wrong, and that they never stood behind Trump at all! That's the way they work, lie, after lie, after lie, after lie.

[True Blue American]

53. Keep in mind

The WhiteHouse messed up,sent the talking points to Democrats!

Keystone Kops in action!

[uponit7771]

58. +1

[Happy Hoosier]

36. Boom!

[paleotn]

38. I'd love to watch....

but can't. I can't watch gym jordan without homicidal thoughts entering my brain.

[ChiTownDenny]

40. More, please.

Journalists on my teevee need to hold accountable the liars they have on their show.

[Catherine Vincent]

41. This Gym Jordan is spinning like a top!

[greatauntoftriplets]

42. I hope that hit home.

Probably not, but I can hope.

[renate]

43. And he brought up Ivanka's Chinese copyrights

Jake did a great job against a Gish gallop.

[ooky]

44. Tapper was doing so well. Wish he hadn't ended it by calling it "passion".

[BadGimp]

46. Some might argue that Tapper went to far...

THAT is how you deal with people for him fasts and the truth has no place in their messaging.

[jimlup]

49. Facts are irrelevant if you are a republican /nt

[joshdawg]

50. Bill Maher calls trump a 'whiny little bitch.'

That title could apply also to gym jordan..........a whiny little bitch!

He pretty much personifies the Congressional republicans today.

[True Blue American]

54. Along with

Moscow Mitch! Thanks to Trumps name calling we are giving it back. Those signs are all over Kentucky.

[machoneman]

60. Tapper did well. But all other TV/Radio interviewers should watch did and mimic Tapper's disdain....

for all his lies, fabrications, diversions and more. Hope he gets jail for not protecting the kids. Oh, and I'm quite sure he personally abused a bunch of young men. No kidding!
