Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) latest attempt at a dig at Democrats on Twitter didn’t go down well.
On Thursday, Jordan praised Donald Trump’s White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, writing that she was “unafraid to answer tough questions.”
“Why is the Biden White House?” he added.
Critics immediately reminded the Ohio congressman of McEnany’s penchant for spreading untruths and defending former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims.
That’s despite McEnany, now a host on Fox News, promising journalists at her very first briefing: “I’ll never lie to you. You have my word on that.”
“Because it’s easy to lie,” one commenter fired back.
Another said, “If you’re a blatant liar, answers are easy to come by, Gym.”
Some Twitter users also recalled Jordan’s alleged ignoring of sexual assault allegations against the team doctor during his time as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University. He denies those claims. They also recalled his refusal to cooperate with the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
