Rep. Jordan suggests Trump was only joking when asking China to investigate the Bidens — despite private plea to Xi

“Do you think it’s appropriate for President Trump to ask China and Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden?” asked George Stephanopoulos in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”

To call on a foreign government to investigate a political opponent is illegal, and is the primary reason why House Democrats are conducting an impeachment inquiry. Jordan argued that outrage, which also came from a member of his party, sparked by Trump’s comment should instead be directed at a claim that the “Democrat National Committee hired a foreigner [Ukraine] who worked with Russians to dig up dirt on the president.”

Republican Party leader Sen. Roy Blunt also cast doubt on Trump’s words, saying on Sunday, “I doubt the China comment is serious.”

It doesn’t matter what they believe. It matters that he asked. 😑

Dems are tearing apart Americans.

Saying something while talking comes under the 1st Amendment! Hysteria comes under crazy! America’s media is crazily anti-Trump!

You are a disgrace to your Office!

He now defends a traitor.

He’s a fool and a simpleton...full stop!

I saw it more as a warning to China as they were instigators with Joebiden. In the case of Ukraine that was bullying.

Why didn't U Show that much concern about Boys who were being raped by Y'r fellow coach down the hall from Y'r Ofc OSU, Rumors & U ignored them. 2day U defend PUZY GRABBER & ask Zelensky Russia China 4 info against an American

Doesn't matter Jim... It's AGAINST THE LAW to solicit the interference of foreign Governments in our electoral process. When the Republicans get some BALLS perhaps they'll take their oath of office seriously and GIVE A SHIT about Trump Breaking the Law!
