Remember Trump's outrage that Schiff parodied Trump's own words?
resident Donald Trump has suggested that Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House intelligence committee, should be arrested for “treason” and charged with “lying to Congress” for mischaracterizing Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The irony of Trump whining about someone misquoting him is lying is rich- since he does it all the time- but that is not the subject of this post.
If Schiff was 'wrong' for his statement about what the President supposedly said- wouldn't that apply to oh say- Jim Jordan?
“So our President said, ‘Time out! Time out! Let’s check out this new guy! Let’s see if Zelensky is the real deal,’ ” Jordan continued, waving his arms. (He is a former wrestling coach, and never wears a jacket.) “Let’s see if he’s legitimate.”
Jim Jordan Tries to Recast Trump as the Hero of the Ukraine Scandal
Except of course there is no evidence that Trump ever said any such thing. Directly or indirectly.
In other words- Jim Jordan did exactly what Schiff did.
But no Trumpeteer will ever whine and moan about Jim Jordan lying about what Trump said.
Because....well we all know why.
