Those were the most ridiculous statements I\u2019ve ever heard. Do you really think what you are asking has anything to do with the capital riots? Or are you that ignorant?

@Jim_Jordan It\u2019s amazing you see a double standard. What Clinton said to media a few months ago didn\u2019t start an insurrection. Good grief, Trump is still trying to be President from his swamp.

Why is @Jim_Jordan asking about objecting to the insurrection by arguing the @DNC objected to the vote? No one stopped the objections. This is about the attempt to overthrow the government by trying to stop the legal process. #CapitolRiots #Biden

There is no revisionist history, Hillary Clinton conceded to Donald Trump she didn\u2019t incite an insurrection! You lie and don\u2019t care that capitol police officers died and many were severely injured, up to 150 officers injured but you\u2019re ok with that! Disgraceful!

@Jim_Jordan your rant this morning was despicable. It had NOTHING to do with Jan 6th 2020! You're always EVASIVE, you were talking about Jan 6th 2016! You're nothing but a mouth peice for the worst, corrupt senior citizen liar-in-chief Trump. @SpeakerPelosi @VP @RepSwalwell

Why is Jim Jordan re-litigating 2016 and not trying to get answers for what happened on Jan 6th? Could it be because he doesn't want to implicate himself in the insurrection?

@Jim_Jordan just listened to you at the hearing. Yes Hillary was disgruntled. The rest of us moved on and accepted the results of the election. This time it\u2019s different. Some Republicans continued the lie that the election was stolen. This is irresponsible and unconstitutional.

Defenders of molesters like @Jim_Jordan love to equate objections to the \u201816 election (amidst active, unprecedented interference from hostile foreign interference & cyberattacks in an American election) w/ the \u201820 election, where Trump lost 86+ lawsuits, including SCOTUS.

@Jim_Jordan Comparing Clinton's 2016 election to Biden's 2020 election is apples to oranges. Russia helped Trump! Russia did not help Biden. That is what Hillary meant. How can you look in the mirror and sleep at night? You are a disgrace!

@Jim_Jordan \n1 - Clinton conceded at midnight\n2 - Trump colluded, and Barr covered it up. (7 days ago) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/barr-memo-russia-investigation/2021/05/05/c5d0c286-ada8-11eb-ab4c-986555a1c511_story.html%3foutputType=amp\u00a0\u2026

He is also conflating. Hillary Clinton did not say the election was conducted unfairly at the state level or that votes were stolen. She was saying that the Russian meddling swung enough votes to "steal" the election for Trump. Two very different things.
