The Ohio lawmaker was asked about Donald Trump’s debunked claims about the 2020 election.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) seemed to have an uncomfortable moment on “60 Minutes” during Sunday night’s segment on social media disinformation.
Jordan argued against social media companies taking down inaccurate posts, saying the American people should figure out what’s true and what’s not.
“What about this idea that the 2020 election was stolen?” asked correspondent Lesley Stahl. “You think that these companies should allow people to say that and that individuals can make up their own mind.”
“I’ve not said that,” said Jordan, who is on the record pushing conspiracy theoriesabout the 2020 election. “What I’ve said is there were concerns about the 2020 election, I think Americans agree with that.”
“No they don’t,” said Stahl.
being wrong is weak, and being liberal is weak, so being able to admit being wrong is to admit to being a weak liberal. /conservative logic.
Apparently, ‘reality based thinking’ was a put down in the George W. Bush White House.
I can’t remember the exact quote, but the idea was that strong leaders just go in an do things, while intellectuals dither and come up with reasons why it’s bad.
