The GOP’s scandal-ridden Ohio House Rep. Jim Jordan effectively got his ass handed to him on Twitter this week, after he took to the social media platform with some tone-deaf Sarah Palin-esque “Real America” rhetoric, only to be promptly reminded by “real” Americans that he wouldn’t know the real hardships of people in this country if it smacked him in the forehead like a rolled up newspaper.
Jordan seemed to channel his inner former Alaskan governor when he utilized verbiage that seems to imply that American citizens living in Blue or Democrat-led areas, or who vote for Left-leaning candidates somehow aren’t “real” Americans. The Republican lawmaker’s remarks seemed to come in response to the January 6th House Select Committee’s first blockbuster public hearing this week, following their recent temporary hiatus over the late summer of this year.
Amid the bombshell hearing this week, Jordan was prompt in taking to his Twitter account to put the House Committee on blast, especially considering the most bombshell development to come from the hearings — the J6 panel’s unanimous vote to issue an official subpoena for scandal-ridden ex-President Donald Trump.
Before the first hearing of the week even got started, Jim Jordan (who has a hefty mountain of his own personal scandal surrounding the Ohio State sexual abuse coverup that he was allegedly involved in) took to his Twitter and wrote, “Real America can’t afford gas, groceries, or rent. When will the January 6th Committee address those issues?”
Real America can’t afford gas, groceries, or rent.
When will the January 6th Committee address those issues?

Suffice it to say that a multitude of individuals who actually live, work, and try to survive in real America wasted no time in letting Jordan know how tone-deaf and obviously clueless he really is:
Oh, @Jim_Jordan — the January 6th committee is focused on the attempt by Donald Trump to illegally remain in office. They’re not allowed to branch out to other issues, for example they cannot explore how you covered up the sexual abuse of student athletes in your charge. https://t.co/DA862g1Ysy

I’m a real American in real America. Gas, groceries, and rent *are* too high and those issues matter a great deal to me.
So does protecting our democracy from insurrectionists and authoritarian forces like Jim Jordan. I can care about many things at once https://t.co/S60QHdqdGZ

How in the holy Hell can you relate to “real Americans” when you are anything but one … You voted on every bill that might help give us relief, where’s your bills to help us Gym?
You’re a lying sack of garbage who kisses the FPOTUS’ backside. Sit down & shut up. https://t.co/5vjGY1Js4K

Don’t let the january 6 committee distract you from the fact that when republicans are given the opportunity to relieve real americans of debt or help them afford gas, groceries, or rent, they vote against it. Republicans love to see real Americans struggle. https://t.co/uETVkABt6b
