Jim Jordan Confronted: Why Do You Think This Election Is 'Fair' But 2020's Was Not?

CNN's Dana Bash confronted Rep. Jim Jordan on Sunday's State of the Union about why 2024 was a fair election, but the presidential race in 2020 was not. Jordan repeated lies about a stolen election in the months leading to the deadly Capital riot. Also, in December 2020, Jordan insisted that Trump "should not concede" the presidential race and added, "Everyone knows instinctively, everyone knows there are problems with this election." But he's now OK with the 2024 election. Imagine that.

"It seems to me that Republicans claim voting fraud and election integrity when you lose and not when you win, Bash said.

"I mean, again, as I said before, this election, I think, was the greatest political comeback we've ever seen," Jordan said without addressing Bash's remark. "He did something that even Teddy Roosevelt couldn't do, for goodness sake."

"But you think it was a free and fair election?" Bash said.

"This election, he just interviewed the Latino, I think, restaurant owner, a restaurant worker, and he said he was tired of all the woke stuff," Jordan said. "This election was real simple. You had back-to-back administrations. We got something we very seldom get in American history, American politics."

"Back-to-back administrations now running for the top job, and people could do a direct comparison," he insisted. "And they said, we like what we had under President Trump versus- But last time around- We liked the safe streets versus the record crime."
