all right let's get to a couple of other um non-vaccine things that i wanted to go over we're still dealing with the aftermath in many different ways of the january NUMBER_TOKENth trump riots and um there is a really interesting exchange between two members of congress that i want to look at with you today one of them is a member of congress you may not be familiar with its democratic congressman joseph morrell from new york the other guy is someone you probably would be familiar with it's republican congressman jim jordan who was one of the members of congress trying to stand in the way of the certification of the NUMBER_TOKEN presidential election on january NUMBER_TOKENth and who there was an attempt made to put him on the committee investigating the trump riots when really he seems maybe more like a witness or even a co-conspirator in those events but regardless he had a really interesting exchange yesterday at a hearing meant to be about voter laws gerrymandering access to voting etc and he utilized a rhetorical crutch that a lot of these what i call pseudo-insurrectionists light insurrectionists have been using when confronted with we're now how many months out we're now nine months out from the election are you ready to say that joe biden really won and they have this rhetorical crutch they use where they say i admit joe biden is president and of course that's a way to not really answer the question so let's take a look at it this is very interesting the gist here is his talking point is not actually an answer to the question okay so let's jump right in if there's been all this suppression that that that previous democrats of the speakers have talked about which isn't working very well because we have record turnout which is as we've said now multiple times the ranking member said it i think all of them is so what he's arguing here is we don't really need to do anything about voter suppression because it clearly doesn't exist because we had record turnout in the election this is his line of reasoning and then joe morrell cuts in it's a good thing so of course that hasn't happened it's a disgrace i also find it curiouser and curiouser that mr jordan you would use NUMBER_TOKEN data on election participation when you won't even acknowledge the outcome of the same election right i've been knowledgeable have you did joe biden win this election there was no fraud you're prepared to say that he's president united states now that he's the president of the united states and joe morrell points out you're not answering my question jim that's not what i asked you did he win the election you said he's the president of the united states that's only because we were here while the capital was being besieged by thousands of people retention overturning stuck around to be able to confirm the results of the electoral college that's why you acknowledge the president all i've said is we should look into concerns that lots of voters have i've never said that he didn't win he's the president united states but i said we should look into the concerns i think that's
