Jim Jordan Traces Hunter Biden Laptop Lies Through Four Phases and Blasts Democrats for Ignoring Record Crime, Gas, Inflation, and Border Chaos

On 4/7/2022, Rep. Jim Jordan delivered a blistering committee speech tracing the Hunter Biden laptop story through four phases of denial — from “wasn’t his laptop” to “Russian disinformation” to “Biden had nothing to do with it” to “Biden knew but wasn’t involved in anything wrong.” Jordan called the suppression “one of the biggest dangers to our democracy” and accused Democrats of focusing on the January 6th committee while Americans faced record inflation, $6 gas, record crime, and border chaos about to worsen with Title 42’s end.

Four Phases of Laptop Denial

Jordan traced the evolving narrative with precision. “It’s funny how that story has changed. 18 months ago, started off — wasn’t his laptop,” Jordan said. “Quickly switched to, well, it was his laptop, but it was Russian disinformation. And now it is, well, it wasn’t Russian disinformation, but Joe Biden had nothing to do with it. Now it was, well, Joe knew what was going on, but he wasn’t really involved in anything wrong. Ron Klain told us that — Chief of Staff told us that Sunday."

"The Laptop Was Real, the Emails Were Real”

Jordan connected the timeline to the 2020 election. “October 22nd, 2020, two weeks before the election, candidate Biden in a debate is asked about his son’s business dealings. He says, quote, ‘nothing was unethical.’ He said his son had not made money with companies with an interest in China,” Jordan said.

“And we all know there are 4.8 million reasons why that statement was not accurate. And how do we know? Washington Post told us — not me, not President Trump, not Republicans,” Jordan continued. “Two stories last week, two eight-page articles, confirming what we knew but what big media, big tech, and Democrats colluded to keep from the American people just days before the most important election.”

“The laptop was real. The eyewitness was real. The emails were real. The only thing fake was that collusion from those entities to keep important information from we the people,” Jordan said. “And oh, by the way, they were joined by 51 former intel officials."

"Danger to Our Democracy” — Really?

Jordan turned the Democrats’ own language against them. “30 leaders just a few minutes ago used the term ‘danger to our democracy.’ Think about this,” Jordan said, then listed Democratic actions he considered far more threatening:

“Democrats have closed the Capitol, allowed proxy voting, kicked Republicans off committees. First time in the history of Congress, the minority leader was not allowed to put on a select committee the individuals he selected,” Jordan said. “Democrats are trying to end the electoral college, trying to end the filibuster, trying to pack the court.”

“This committee — the January 6th committee — altered evidence and presented it to the American people as if it were true. And they accused us of being a danger to our democracy,” Jordan said.

Real Problems Ignored

Jordan contrasted the committee’s focus with what Americans actually cared about. “We got a border that is complete chaos. We have $6 gas in California, $4 gas everywhere else. We have crime at record levels in every major urban area. And we have an inflation problem at a 40-year high,” Jordan said.

“And this committee has more contempt resolutions for a purely political reason. I think the whole committee is purely political, designed to do one thing — keep President Trump off the ballot in 2024,” Jordan said.

Biden’s Debate Denial Revisited

The video included Biden’s 2020 debate exchange. “There is no controversy about Hunter Biden. It’s all a lie. It’s a flat lie because the president has nothing else to run on,” Biden had said. “Everything from the Wall Street Journal, every other major news outlet has said what he’s saying is simply not true about my son.”

Psaki had maintained the position. “Is the president confident Hunter Biden didn’t break the law? Of course the president’s confident that his son didn’t break the law,” Psaki said — on two separate occasions.

Jordan listed real crises Democrats were ignoring: $6 gas, record crime, 40-year-high inflation, and border chaos about to worsen with Title 42’s end.
He accused the January 6th committee of being “purely political, designed to keep President Trump off the ballot in 2024.”
