    To be fair, a lot boring old Republicans voted for this guy for the same reason they supported Trump. They’re afraid of being called out by the base and or being primaried for not being right wing enough.

    The only people who are standing up are the people in districts that are still purple. And there are fewer and fewer of those because of gerrymandering.

      Fox News was actually threatening to sic the base on people who voted against Jordan, according to something I heard on the local community radio earlier. They sent stuff saying like, “Is it true that Representative X is against confirming Jordan? When are you going to let the peoples house open, the people want to know.” To someone at the house. There was another sentence basically threatening to turn their base loose on individual reps if they didn’t flip flop and support Jordan. I’ll have to see if I can dig up an article.
