“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.”
Jordan questioned why Democrats had no issue with objections to Alabama but were suddenly taken back by the Republican objections to Pennsylvania.

“They can object to Alabama in 2017 but tell us we can’t object to Pennsylvania in 2021,” Jordan continued. “Pennsylvania, where the state Supreme Court unilaterally extended the election to Friday. Pennsylvania, where the secretary of state unilaterally changed the rules, went around the legislature in unconstitutional fashion."

"Pennsylvania, where county clerks in some counties, and you can imagine which counties they were, let people fix their ballots against the law. Fixed, cured, their ballots, their mail-in ballots, a direct violation of the law. And they tell us we tried to overturn the election.”
Jordan then mentioned that Democrats actually objected to more states in 2017 than Republicans did after the most recent election. Yet they are acting as if objecting is unheard of.
“Guess who the second objector was in 2017? The individual managing the impeachment for the Democrats,” Jordan argued. “Americans are tired of the double standard. They are so tired of it. 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, the violence this summer, the violence last week, somehow we’re wrong. And Democrats can investigate the president of the United States … try to impeach him, investigate him for four years but will not look at an election that has 80 million Americans, half the electorate … Republicans and Democrats, have their doubts about.”

"These are domestic terrorists attempting a coup who were incited and supported by lawless Republicans lawmakers," Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton said. "I think they should be censured because we need to make it clear to future lawmakers and future generations of Americans that you will not incite violence against the United States of America. That's treasonous."
But Republicans have raised valid arguments that much of the electorate has questions about the results of the 2020 election, arguing that an investigation into the results is vital to restore faith in the democratic and fair process.
