The president-elect Donald Trump may seek revenge on his opponents, but Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) downplayed that fear. Jordan got into a heated argument with anchor Dana Bash during his appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, after Trump’s campaign rhetoric suggested that he wanted “retribution” for his followers.
“People talk about retribution, but the real retribution has come from the other side,” Jordan claimed. I’ve been committed to avoiding reprisals for the last ten years.
Bash made an effort to interrupt, saying she would address his issue but focusing on the fact that her inquiry was on Trump’s promises to implement “retribution.” She asked if he would back Trump in using the Justice Department to bring charges against alleged enemies.
Jordan said, “I don’t think any of that’s going to happen, because we are the party that stands against political prosecution,” when asked if he thought Trump’s “retribution” will come to pass. We oppose targeting our opponents with police enforcement.
When Bash asked Jordan which undocumented immigrants would be deported, the conversation turned to whether Trump’s staff supported free speech, sparking an equally heated debate regarding immigration.
President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, former Representative Liz Cheney, former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA), Vice President Kamala Harris, and others were among the people Trump frequently targeted during his campaign, vowing to exact “retribution” on his supporters.Much of this, according to Trump and his allies, is seen as revenge for his own legal troubles, which they claim were motivated by political reasons.
