U.S. Representative Katherine Clark (D-Revere) criticized Jim Jordan, the latest GOP nominee for speaker of the U.S House of Representatives, for his conservative positions and style during a press conference.
"He has voted to ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions for rape or incest. He has voted to shut down the government and force our troops to work without pay. He has voted to gut Social Security and Medicare. He was directly involved in the right-wing coup that sought to overturn the 2020 election," Clark said during a press conference Friday, October 13, according to a press release.
