The following was posted a little while ago by one of my Facebook friends:
...Jim Jordan being the loud-mouthed, rabid, right-wing Republican U.S. Representative from Ohio,
...who, after having been chosen by Donald Trump to receive the Presidential Medal of Honor, was leading the charge against the Congressional certification of Joe Biden as winner over Trump of the 2020 Presidential election.
As the whole world now knows, at the very moment that Jordan and his cohorts were about to turn the traditionally ceremonial counting of the electoral votes on the floor of Congress into a disruptive six-ring circus for the sake of currying favor with the die-hard supporters of soon-to-be-ex-President Donald Trump, tens of thousands of those very Trump supporters were outside storming the Capitol building.

After they broached the barriers they then smashed in the windows and doors,
...and broke into the Capitol.
Before the mob reached the Senate most of the members of Congress were evacuated, except for a few in the top gallery who were unable to escape in time.
The rioters then broke into the Senate, riffled through desks of the Senators, ambled around the floor,
...and took selfies of themselves lounging at the desk of the Vice President.
They broke into some offices, including that of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi,
...where one of the insurgents, a man named Richard Barnett, stole a document from Speaker Pelosi's desk,
...then left her a message.
Do these images of what happened today in the United States Capitol building, the seat of our democracy, make you sick, appalled, angry, frightened? Me too.
But is it not noteworthy that the thugs who broke into, vandalized and made a mockery of the United States Congress are the very people that Jim Jordan and all the other Republicans who made such a show of attempting to block Joe Biden's election claimed to be fighting for? Which begs the question for those particular members of Congress: Why, when these, your people, arrived at your door, did you flee for your life from them? Why didn't you stay for them, welcome them, express your solidarity with them?
And, of course, there rests one more question for Jim Jordan and the others who've spent the last eight weeks bolstering and propagating Donald Trump's lie that the election was stolen from him: Are you indeed happy now?
