Good MAGAt that he is, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) showed up on CNN this morning to defend Donald Trump’s decision to attack Venezuela, suggesting that drug trafficking was a major reason Trump had ordered the unprecedented move, but the congressman was hit with a brutal fact check by host Dana Bash.
“[Trump] says he’s running Venezuela, he’s totally open to putting boots back on the ground there, and he’s signaling that Cuba and Colombia could be next,” Bash said. “How is that America first?”
“It’s consistent with keeping drugs off the streets,” Jordan insisted. “I know folks in the fourth district of Ohio and what fentanyl and other drugs have done to some families that I get the privilege of representing.”
Bash: “Fentanyl doesn’t come from Venezuela.”
“Cozying up to China and Iran, which are part of that, certainly does!” Jordan screeched.
Fentanyl, it should be noted, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, is produced by and large in Mexico, not Venezuela, China, or Iran.
Nice try, Jim, but the facts don’t support your blatant lies. And defending the indefensible only proves that you’re a brainless simp who would gladly shine Donnie’s shoes with your tongue if he told you to. That’s gross and pathetic.
