Jim Jordan just crashed and burned
If you’re on the wrong side of an issue, and you have no hope of convincing observers that you’re on the correct side of it, then your last resort is to try to convince observers that you’re being treated unfairly for being on the wrong side of things. This brings us to Jim Jordan, who’s on the wrong side of pretty much everything.
Jim Jordan tweeted this today:
Drew Brees – asks that people respect the flag – CANCELED
Mike Gundy – wears the “wrong” t-shirt fishing – CANCELED
James Harden – wears a #BackTheBlue mask – CANCELED
If the mob wins, we all lose.

What’s particularly odd about this tweet is that none of these people were actually “canceled.” Drew Brees’s teammates rallied around him after he acknowledged that he’d gotten the issue wrong. Mike Gundy still has his job after promising reforms. James Harden said he wasn’t aware of what the message on his mask meant, and that explanation has been accepted. This is stupid even for Jim Jordan.
