George Stephanopolous presses Republican Rep. Jim Jordan several times about whether he thought it was appropriate for Trump to ask China to investigate Joe Biden. Jordan would not directly respond.

“George, you really think he was serious about thinking that China’s going to investigate the Biden family?” Jordan smirked.

“He said it right there in public,” the ABC reminded the Ohio lawmaker.

“As Senator Rubio said a couple days ago, I think he’s getting the press all spun up about this,” Jordan parried.

“The president asked China to investigate,” The ABC host pressed. “We’re not supposed to take the president at his word?”

“You guys would think after three and a half years, with the campaign and everything else, you would figure out some of the way that this guy [talks],” Jordan attempted.

“The president hasn’t said he’s joking. He said a very direct statement. He wasn’t smiling. He wasn’t laughing. It wasn’t a joke,” Stephanopoulos persisted, however, Jordan continued to deflect no matter how many times he was told he wasn’t answering the question.

1. Jordan makes me so proud that I'm from Ohio.

I wonder if he really believes the crap he spews.

2. This is the GOP defense -- he's just joking about foreign policy about elections about tariffs

"Can't you take a joke?"

"He's just trying to spin the press up."
"He's just jerking the libs' chain."

Question-- who wants a president like that anyway?

The reality must be even worse, I guess.

6. The rest of the Country isn't laughing at their 'joke(s)' ... someone should tell these gop idiots

this.

3. Trump was dead serious about China investigating.

I watched the clips. There is no way his demeanor and statements can be spun as joking. Add that to the fact he's been sending people to try to get dirt on the Mueller investigation. No, he was sending a message to China. One that said "I'm going to start talking about Hong Kong now, you haven't lived up to your end of the bargain."

4. Jim Jordan is like the vortex in your toilet.

Full of shit. Inventing crimes that others haven't done. But whenever he sees actual crimes being committed he looks the other way.
