Watch Gym Jordan get schooled on his sneaky addition to the tax cuts bill [View all]

Rep. Joe Neguse of Colorado laid into Rep. Jim Jordan during the House Rules Committee’s early Wednesday hearing on the GOP’s 1,100-page tax break giveaway to the rich, the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”

“I find it astounding. I'm not sure that many of your colleagues understand the full import of this,” Neguse said of a provision Jordan added to the bill that would make federal judges require citizens suing the government for a violation of their constitutional rights to post a security payment, which is not currently how things work.

Jordan, one of President Donald Trump’s top attack dogs against federal judges who have challenged the administration’s many anti-constitutional actions, tried to deflect Neguse’s questions about the provision’s broad, unconstitutional implications. His response only exposed how craven and unintelligent he really is, leading to this memorable exchange:

Jordan: I just want, I just want to say the situation we're trying to address is what's been happening around the country.

Neguse: You didn’t write it that way.
