Crenshaw Shrugs At Jordan’s Bid To Overturn Election

The Hill reports:

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) defended Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) attempt to overturn the 2020 election, pointing to other Republicans who attempted to do the same.

CNN’s Jake Tapper pointed out that Jordan was one of the many Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election results, but Crenshaw said that wouldn’t stop him from supporting him. The Texas Republican was not one of the 139 House Republicans at the time who objected to the certification of the election results.

“But a lot of them did that. If I held that grudge, I wouldn’t have friends in the Republican Conference, because a lot of them did that,” Crenshaw said on “State of the Union.”

CRENSHAW: Jordan has become part of the solution. Not part of the problem

TAPPER: I mean, he defied a congressional subpoena and tried to get Pence to overturn the electoral votes
