Yahoo News Jim Jordan Mocked For Claiming 'No One Backs The Blue' More Than Trump
The latest attempt by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to make Donald Trump sound good to voters led to him being thoroughly mocked on social media Thursday.
After the former president attended a wake for Jonathan Driller, a New York City police officer who was shot and killed Monday during a traffic stop, Jordan retweeted a clip of Trump’s speech at the event, in which he called for “law and order.”
“No one Backs The Blue more than President Trump,” Jordan, who heads the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted on X.

Although the post undoubtedly got support from low-information voters, others mocked Jordan and noted that Trump’s support of law enforcement is inconsistent at best.
Some people pointed out that Trump did little to help the U.S. Capitol Police during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

Right Gym like he did the Capitol police? Calling the seditionists, “Hostages” Go sell crazy somewhere you f’ing traitor! We know why you defend the indefensible, it’s because you were apart of the insurrection, but FFS, quit acting like we’re all mindless Magats. You’re next! 👏 https://t.co/Lp7PQgP7Qu

No one…except around 100+million who ACTUALLY back the police and DON’T commit acts of treason.
And since you brought it up, no one aids and abets sex-criminals as ardently as you do, Jordan. https://t.co/XI8XInAN2H— ProfBlitzNYC (@MSBlitz2022) March 28, 2024
Except if they are defending the capital? What happened ? Why didn’t he bust with the Sicknick family? https://t.co/sMct4f1dlS

Others noted how the Republican Party keeps wanting to defund the police, FBI and Department of Justice.
Well... if that's true, why did the republicans DEFUND the police "knowing" that Trump backs them? https://t.co/iqWB6Z8kHPhttps://t.co/6pJKLl4bBd

And, of course, one person pointed out that Trump “backs the blue” about as well as Jordan protected members of the Ohio State wrestling team who say the future congressman ignored molestation allegations against the team’s doctor when he was assistant coach.
He backs the blue about as much as you backed your wrestlers at The Ohio State. https://t.co/eWJpqNHKTt
