Representative Jim Jordan used his opening statement during the House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General William Barr to show liberal and media hypocrisy in their characterization of the protests and riots of the last couple of months.

According to Town Hall:

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) used his opening statement at Tuesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Bill Barr wisely. He began right after Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) spent several minutes painting Barr as someone who blindly does whatever President Trump tells him and has worked to destroy the integrity of the Justice Department. Nadler was particularly upset after the Trump administration sent federal agents into U.S. cities that have been steeped in violence after the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. According to Nadler, the DOJ is now just “a shadow of its former self.”

When Jordan had the spotlight, he asked for a video to be shown. It began with clips of different media outlets referring to the riots we’ve seen these past few months as “peaceful protests.” The video then cut to a presser about the death of retired black police captain David Dorn, who was killed during a riot in St. Louis as he was helping protect a local business.

The video proceeded to show other footage of rioters toppling statues, looting local businesses, and running over police officers. It was scary, scary stuff. I’ve included the video here but be warned it does have some graphic and disturbing footage.

Jordan then thanked AG Barr for working to restore the rule of law and speaking out against the Defund the Police movement. He added that the Democrats have “absolutely nothing” on him.

Here is the video: (Warning: This Video Contains Graphic Footage)

Nadler responded by whining that he did not get 48 hours notice that the minority was going to play a video at the hearing.
