“A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste”

Mace: I will vote for Jim Jordan on the floor. I personally cannot, in good conscience, vote for someone who attended a white supremacist conference and compared himself to David Duke.

I understand the allegations are the subject of a lawsuit, and Jordan’s deposition is pending.

Mace on allegations that Jordan turned a blind eye to sexual abuse: These were, I guess, adults. This is something that should have been adjudicated in a court of law. We can't make decisions based on rumor.

So she’s saying there was consent?

But it’s okay because she has an argument for being pro-Jordan:

Mace: There are Democrats who trust Jordan 

Tapper: Jim Jordan? 

Mace: Yes 

Tapper: From Ohio? 

Mace: Yes 

Tapper: Name one

It’s the second question that makes it art. 🖼️ 

She’s illiterate, too. She paraded around the Capitol this week in a shirt emblazoned with a large, red “A.” She did because she knew that was the “scarlet letter,” and let’s give her points for knowing “scarlet” is a shade of red. But she said she wore it because she was criticized for supporting Jordan for Speaker.

She showed no awareness of what the Scarlet Letter actually is. I mean, we all know it from a novel. And if we’ve read the novel, we know why the letter is “A.”

Nancy didn’t.

Performance art of a sort, I suppose.
