During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle Thursday evening, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) outlined what he described as a consistent pattern used by the Democratic Party and its media allies to promote false narratives.
Jordan pointed to past controversies involving President Joe Biden, the Steele dossier, and the Hunter Biden laptop story as examples of what he called a “template” employed by the left to control public discourse.
The interview followed a deposition earlier in the day on Capitol Hill involving Ron Klain, former White House Chief of Staff under Joe Biden.
Jordan expressed some surprise that Klain answered questions without invoking any form of privilege, as other Biden-Harris administration officials had done in previous proceedings.

“I was able to be at today’s deposition of the response goes on Capitol Hill, but I was a little surprised because everyone else’s exercised some kind of privilege. I figured he would too, being, you know, the former chief of staff. But he came in and answered questions,” Jordan said.
Jordan then shifted the focus of the conversation to what he characterized as a long-running strategy used by Democrats, legacy media, and tech companies to disseminate misinformation and discredit dissent.
“I still think the big takeaway here is the media tried to tell us forever, the left tried to tell us forever that Joe Biden was just fine. This is typically of the left. They told us that Catholics are terrorists. They told us the dossier is real. They told us the laptop wasn’t real,” Jordan stated.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham interjected with another example: “No inflation.”

Jordan continued, “And they tell us Joe Biden is just fine when we could all see it with our own eyes. And maybe what was worse is you had people like Jake Tapper say he’s just fine. And if you criticize them, oh my goodness, look what they did to Lara Trump. What he said to her.”
He also criticized those who he said profited from false narratives after initially promoting them.
“And then, of course, after it’s all done and they’ve lied to us for four years, he writes a book saying, oh, you know what, he really wasn’t OK. And he makes money off of that. So,” Jordan added.
Ingraham responded, “That’s so typical D.C., though.”

“That’s so typical,” Jordan agreed.
“I always say the left has a template. The left tells a lie, big media reports the lie, big tech amplifies the lie, and then when you tell the truth, they call you a racist, or they’ll call you some other name. They’ll attack you.”
Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, has remained a key figure in Republican-led investigations into the Biden-Harris administration.
His remarks on Thursday follow broader GOP efforts to challenge narratives surrounding the President’s mental fitness, as well as the handling of past intelligence and media reports related to Democratic political figures.
Klain’s testimony on Capitol Hill came as part of an ongoing inquiry into Biden-Harris administration conduct.
