Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is criticizing the Democrats on the panel for their most recent blunder over a hearing that is crucial to a national issue, and he reiterates his promise to carry out intrusive inquiries into Joe and Hunter Biden and the FBI.
The Ohio Republican slammed Democrats on the committee after they skipped a meeting on border security in Yuma, Arizona, despite the fact that millions of people had entered the nation illegally and that fentanyl being brought in from Mexico was killing tens of thousands of Americans every year.
House Democrats claimed “there was no consultation with Judiciary Democrats, many of whom have already committed to attending other bipartisan congressional delegation trips.”
“Instead of focusing on real solutions to a complicated problem, Judiciary Republicans will once again not hear from any federal government witnesses at their hearing, further cementing this hearing as a brazen act of political grandstanding,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), added, “As a result, Democrats, who have been to the border regularly the last few years, will not attend next week’s performative hearing.”
But Jordan pushed back.
“It’s a shame that not one Democrat member of Congress would join us on this trip, despite having weeks of advance notice,” Jordan said. “It’s disappointing, but it’s not surprising.”
“I would argue it’s not a stunt,” he added. “My guess is our witnesses wouldn’t call it a stunt. What we’ve learned today from them, what we’ve seen last night on the border.”
The Democrats’ choice to skip the hearing, according to Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), was a “message of disdain” to Americans.
It is an unsustainable approach to have a hospital like ours shoulder the full responsibility of paying for migrant health care, according to Dr. Robert Trenschel of the Yuma Regional Medical Center, which has reportedly supplied over $26 million in uncompensated care to migrants in a year. Without any revenue to cover recurring enormous expenses, no firm or service can survive.
Jordan has asserted that he thinks the claims against President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden have undergone a seismic shift.
Jordan suggested “something is up” with the probe because of a new interest in the story by many of the same media outlets that initially dismissed reports of corruption evidence stemming from materials and emails obtained from a laptop he reportedly abandoned at a computer repair store in Delaware in 2019.
