This is a tale of two Jim Jordans.
A little over 10 years ago, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced intensive questions for hours by House Republicans over their white whale at the time, Benghazi. This hearing took place after multiple investigations had concluded that there was no wrongdoing on her part, but Republicans were hell-bent.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, now a Fox News host, was the Chairman. I’m posting a video of Rep. Jim Jordan questioning Clinton for almost 15 straight minutes.
The Secretary of State did not shuck and jive, lie, spew conspiracies, yell like a deranged maniac, and use vicious personal attacks on those empowered by the voters of this country who demand to know how her actions were justified.
Instead, Hillary Clinton sat there taking his aggression and vindictive tone in stride and answered every question put forth without frothing at the mouth. Jim Jordan did his best to try to trip her up, but he failed to catch her in a lie or get a sound bite for Fox News.
Can you imagine, during the House Select Committee on Benghazi, if she pulled out a book full of notes and looked at Jim Jordan and asked him why he let his Ohio State wrestlers be sexually assaulted?
As he objected, she continued to tell him how he had ruined their lives. How could he live with himself? As Jordan objected, she continued to mock him as a degenerate and claimed he was jealous of how great Barack Obama, the greatest president of all time, was.
