Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) just got put on the spot about why he only cried foul over election fraud when his candidate was on the losing end of the vote. During a stop by CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, moderator Dana Bash pressed the congressman to explain why he was taking the results of the 2024 race at face value when he was such a staunch critic of what went down during the 2020 election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

“I haven’t seen you or your colleagues claiming any election irregularities, no rampant voting fraud this time,” Bash pointed out. “It seems to me that Republicans claim voting fraud and election integrity when you lose and not when you win.” Instead of addressing Bash’s concern, Jordan talked up Trump’s political chops while calling the Republican’s 2024 win the “greatest political comeback we’ve ever seen.”

As the congressman went on about the contrast between Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign, Bash pushed Jordan to answer why his party’s persistent voter fraud accusations appeared to evaporate after their camp emerged victorious on Tuesday.

“Last time around, it wasn’t so much about the policy differences or personality differences. There were false claims about election fraud when Donald Trump lost,” she said. “This time Donald Trump won and you think the election was free and fair. You see there’s a little bit of a [difference]?”
