“It’s scary and it’s not going to help them politically,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Thursday, addressing Democrats’ support of violence against political opponents - such as Elon Musk, head of the Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
In an interview on Fox News Channel, Rep. Jordan attributed Democrats’ plummeting approval rating to their embrace of “crazy” policies that Americans oppose:
“When you embrace crazy, you’re going to be at a 27 percent approval rating. I don’t care who leads their party, as long as they’re embracing these crazy policies, it’s going to be a win for us.”
“President Trump probably said it best: ‘It is common sense versus crazy,’” Rep. Jordan said. He then proceeded to “go down the list”:
“It is crazy to defund the police.
“It is crazy not to have a border
“It is crazy to have men compete against women in sports
“It is crazy to attack Teslas and burn them up, go after dealerships.”
“And maybe the one that’s front and center on Americans’ minds is what this judge did this past week,” Jordan said, noting how a district judge ordered Pres. Trump to bring back to the U.S. two hundred illegal alien gang members he had deported:
“It is crazy for an unelected federal district judge to say, ‘Turn the plane around; bring back hardened, gang member criminals who are here illegally; turn them around, bring those bad guys back to America.”
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But, that is now their party,” Rep. Jordan said.
