For the third time this week, vulnerable Republicans Ken Calvert, John Duarte, Mike Garcia, Michelle Steel, and David Valadao supported extremist election-denier Jim Jordan for House speaker – moments after Jordan propagated more election conspiracy theories.
In supporting Jim Jordan yet again, these members have embraced his slate of extreme MAGA policies for California, including:
- Defunding federal law enforcement
- Banning abortion nationwide with no exceptions
- Gutting Social Security and Medicare
- Block a bipartisan law that honors veterans exposed to chemical radiation like Agent Orange
- And spreading 2020 election conspiracy theories
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“Vulnerable Republicans like Calvert, Duarte, Garcia, Steel, and Valadao have spent the week showing Californians exactly who they are — enablers of their party’s worst impulses and far-right extremists who want to ban abortion and overturn election results. These GOP shills can speak about moderation until they’re blue in the face, but they cave to their MAGA extremist friends almost every time.”
