'Jim Jordan needs to shut up': Republican gets buried over Jack Smith meltdown

By Travis Gettys
Published January 22, 2026 11:26 AM ET

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) wasted no time twisting the facts in the Jan. 6 case against President Donald Trump as former special counsel Jack Smith testified.

The Ohio Republican led the House Judiciary Committee hearing where Smith testified publicly for the first time about his investigation into Trump's alleged crimes related to the U.S. Capitol riot, and Jordan sought to undermine the case that led to the president's four-case indictment by suggesting the investigation was politicized and questioning the credibility of some witnesses.

"Jim Jordan just started speaking and has already lied. (Said Smith's team sought 'phone calls)," posted journalist Philip Bump. "He wastes no time. A master of efficiency."

"Also Jim Jordan is an idiot," said former Capitol police officer Harry Dunn. "It's been just 10 minutes and my brain hurts already."

"At the Jack Smith hearing, Jim Jordan is reading from a Washington Post editorial," observed veteran journalist Mark Jacob. "The WaPo edit page has become a colleague of Gateway Pundit, Breitbart and the Federalist."
