Rep. Jim Jordan, a key figure in the effort to overturn the 2020 election results, has acknowledged the 2024 election was free and fair, a stark contrast to his previous pronouncements. While he cited concerns about mail-in voting in 2020, particularly in Pennsylvania, he failed to address why these concerns were absent this year when his preferred candidate won. This shift in rhetoric raises questions about the legitimacy of his 2020 claims and the impact of his actions on the integrity of the election process. Despite Jordan’s assertions of widespread fraud in 2020, no evidence of such irregularities has ever surfaced.

Jim Jordan’s sudden silence on election fraud is a glaring example of the GOP’s hypocrisy and blatant disregard for truth. After spending years pushing the narrative of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, claiming it was the reason for Trump’s loss, Jordan seems to have completely abandoned this line of attack. His newfound acceptance of a fair election comes as no surprise, considering his preferred candidate, Trump, won in 2024.
The glaring difference between Jordan’s relentless pursuit of election fraud claims in 2020 and his deafening silence on the matter in 2024 speaks volumes. It’s a classic case of “We lose, they cheated. We win, they probably still cheated but lost anyway.” The GOP’s blatant disregard for the integrity of democratic processes is disheartening. It exposes a disturbing pattern of selective outrage and manipulation, with their concerns about election fraud seemingly surfacing only when they lose.
Jordan’s silence on the issue highlights a deeper problem with the GOP’s approach to politics. Their claims of widespread election fraud were never truly about ensuring fair elections; they were a cynical attempt to delegitimize the results and undermine public trust in the democratic process. The fact that these claims conveniently disappear when their candidate wins underscores their true agenda.
It’s clear that Jordan and his GOP colleagues never genuinely believed in the existence of widespread election fraud. Their claims were simply a tool to sow discord, fuel their base, and distract from their own failings. Their sudden acceptance of a fair election, after years of screaming about rigged systems, exposes their cynical manipulation and underscores the importance of holding them accountable for their actions.
It’s time to move beyond the tired “Oh funny, it seems NOW you think think OPPOSITE thing. Curious. I wonder why that could be.” kind of commentary. We need to call out the GOP for what they are: liars who are willing to exploit fear and distrust to achieve their goals. Their actions have real consequences, and we cannot allow them to continue to undermine the integrity of our democratic system without consequence. The GOP’s blatant hypocrisy on election fraud is a testament to their true intentions, and it’s a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant in the face of their manipulative tactics.
