Wow, I can't believe Democrats would say something like that. Gym Jordan is not an insurrectionist.
He's an insurrectionist and a pedophile enabler. Get it right.

Thank you for putting the appropriate amount of disrespect on that man’s name
I don't think it's nearly enough disrespect, honestly. He's such an enormous piece of shit that it's hard to describe.
Jim Jordan? Isn't he the one involved in the sex abuse cover-up conspiracy at Ohio State University?
indeed, his friends call him Gym
That's right, Jim Jordan helped cover up the ongoing sexual abuses of many students. It's unknown if Jim Jordan was also sexually abusing students himself.
Jim Jordan then supported an insurrection against the United States government.
Conservatives agree that sex abuse supporter and insurrectionist Jim Jordan accurately represents them.
Reminder that these Republicans are traitors and should be in jail, not elected to office:
it really blows my mind that there were absolutely no consequences for what they were doing out in the open like that. then again, it also feels like 'par for the course' given everything else in the last 6+ years.
What the hell, NBC News? Calling Jordan a "firebrand" (someone who is passionate about something)? That's like calling Andrew Tate a "self help guru."
The media companies do not have anything aside from profits in their sights.

Les Moonves (CBS CEO): “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.”
Whenever a news site says "firebrand" I hear "public figure with anger issues."
Where, in this case, "anger issues" translates to "was scheming to overthrow the government and install Trump as dictator."
The fucking media is really doing whatever it can to whitewash these insurrectionists' reputations.
For some reason I've been wanting to hear one of these dolts apply the term to themselves. "I'm a...I'm a firebrand". With an Elvis accent. Really flesh out the caricature.
EDIT: Grammar
Fucking finally.
Dems need to show more backbone; if an guy leads an insurrection- call him out. Be factual, but call him out. None of this “high road, don’t make them angry” bullshit.
This is one of those having-their-cake-and-eating-it-too moments, because the Democrats are taking the high road, by using nothing but the truth, yet doing it in a way that is guaranteed to fuck with (and piss off) the Republicans.
Exactly. That’s why I put “high road” in quotes.
Ignoring all the reasons why the opposition is objectively awful is….not the moral high road. It’s intellectually dishonest and part of why we’re in this moment.
Like with Santos. They either didn’t do oppose research or didn’t use it. Things that would have maybe changed the election. But noooo “we don’t do that! Because that would be not nice!”
Guess what. pubies are bullies and are okay with people dying to put them in power. Being nice is not important,
What a headline. Why would anyone ever even think the Democrats would help nominate Jim Fucking Jordan? Oh man, those Democrats really had an opportunity to reach across the aisle here but now I see they're just allergic to bipartisanship for not supporting the "conservative firebrand" and "guy who wanted to overturn an election they won". He's one of the least acceptable choices they have, why frame it like they refused to do a thing that's manifestly stupid?
I wouldn't label him aa "one of the least acceptable choices."
He's one of the most abhorrently unacceptable ones.
Nancy Mace claimed, with a straight face, in an interview with Jake Tapper that she's spoken to Democrats in Congress that say they trust Jim Jordan.
I burst out in laughter. I honestly had not laughed that long in a very long time.
Jake Tapper finally got her to admit that they "trusted Jim Jordan more than Kevin McCarthy." Not exactly a high bar there.
How is it the democrats responsibility to help elect a house speaker?
I have a diagram that explains the whole thing
"See, because 95% of the votes to remove McCarthy as speaker came from Democrats, they are the ones responsible for the current gridlock. We have presented multiple candidates including Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise. It is now up to the Democrats to tell us which one of these two they're willing to get behind so we can get back to business. And no, we are not going to offer up any concessions to help Democrats fix a mess that they created. We've done our part, now they need to do theirs."
-- Actual GOP talking points I've seen online.
Despite all the chaos in their ranks, conservative Republicans say they have no concern that some in their party may heed the calls by Democrats to join them and elect a bipartisan speaker.
“That’s the thing that gets you beat in a primary,” said Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla.
“You’d get your a-- beat,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn.
Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, said those discussions have only happened outside the GOP conference, not among Republican lawmakers.
“People can talk a big game about that. I haven’t personally heard anybody talk about that; it’s only hearsay,” he said. “But I think that’s pretty nuclear. Let’s keep this conventional.”
Entertaining the idea of working with half the House of Representatives is "going nuclear" now, while shutting down all House operations due to Republican intra-party dysfunction is "conventional."
That's after the Republican hypocrisy of "we now have to heal as a nation and work together oh BTW guys who cares there was just an insurrection caused by our side lols"
What all those people never acknowledge is that some seats won't stay R.
So while siding with Dems will hurt their Republican primary chances, could be the only way they win in a purple election is by becoming a Manchin Democrat.
Change only the letter by your name and hope the new party blindly supports them for being an incumbent.
"Trashing" is certainly an interesting way of saying "accurately describing."
Man says of landfill: "It's a real dump over there."
You mean, correctly labeling him as an insurrectionist.
I’m so glad the Dems are finally in full “Not my clown, not my circus” mode and are making the Republicans show everyone how really bad they are at governing.
I think the Dems often want to minimize the hurt put on the American people. If they caved and helped establish a new speaker, they could do things like avoid another government shutdown. But while I know it would hurt Americans and I don't want that to happen, I think it might be for the best in the long term if the Dems refuse to help out, and let the Repubs flounder for as long as it takes them to get on the same team, to show America that the GOP is fucking broken.
They're only saying that because its true.
What a world, where these evil Democrats go out there and say things that demonstrably comport with reality! How dare they!
*cue MTG shrieking about the liberal bias of reality*
Democrats refuse to stick hand in toaster to get bagel GOP lodged in there, talking shit saying "who the fuck puts an uncut bagel in a toaster, no I won't fucking reach in there, its still on."
How are they even considering this traitor?
Because they’re all traitors.
Forget “insurrectionist”. Call him and his party for what they are: TRAITORS.
Remember all the names repubes called Obama for being…well for just breathing.
Hey, that's not fair! Obama also wore a tan suit and ate fancy mustard!
What else would you call him? He is an insurrectionist
