Jim Jordan is right to stand by Trump—there’s still a lot of shady stuff from 2020 that got swept under the rug. The media loves to downplay concerns about election fraud, but people deserve answers, not just a pat on the head.

It's exhausting to see people like Jim Jordan still defending Trump’s baseless election fraud claims when we should be focusing on strengthening our democracy. We need leaders who will accept the truth and work towards fair elections, not continue pushing lies for political gain.
