Pelosi Slammed for 2017 Tweet Claiming 2016 Election Was ‘hijacked’; Jim Jordan Accuses Democrats of Having ‘double standard’ in Fiery Floor Speech and Says They ‘objected to more states in 2017’
Pelosi slammed for 2017 tweet claiming 2016 election was ‘hijacked’:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing renewed criticism over a tweet from 2017 claiming that the presidential election the year before was “hijacked.”
“Our election was hijacked,” said Pelosi’s 2017 tweet, which was not censored by Twitter with a warning label as many of President Trump’s tweets questioning the 2020 election were. “There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts.”
Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts.

Several conservatives on Twitter have pointed to this tweet in recent days and wondered why Twitter and the media allowed Pelosi to question the integrity of a certified election when Trump has been punished for doing the same. Twitter rolled out labels on election fraud in September 2020.
“How does this stand @jack?” Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe tweeted. “Hypocrites, all of them.” —>READ MORE HERE
Jim Jordan accuses Democrats of having ‘double standard’ in fiery floor speech and says they ‘objected to more states in 2017’:
Rep. Jim Jordan laid into Democrats during a House floor speech, accusing the party of having a double standard when it comes to objecting to election results.
“In his opening remarks, the Democrat chair of the Rules Committee said that Republicans last week voted to overturn the results of an election,” Jordan said. “Guess who the first objector was on January 6, 2017? First objector. The Democrat chair of the Rules Committee. And guess which state he objected to — Alabama, the very first state called. Alabama. President Trump won Alabama by, I think, like 80 points. Actually, he won it by 30 points.”
Rep. @Jim_Jordan: “Democrats object to more states in 2017 than Republicans did last week, but somehow we’re wrong.
Democrats can raise bail for rioters and looters this summer, but somehow when Republicans condemn all the violence…somehow we’re wrong.” pic.twitter.com/ktqZD4DytC
