He should release it. It is his texts. My guess is he has access to his own texts. So he should tell us this, we should know everything. And I draw a big distinction between Fox News personalities, who, by the way, were saying the right thing in private, saying please make him stop the violence, and a congressman. A congressman swore an oath to the Constitution. Cable news talking heads don\u2019t swear an oath to the Constitution. We hope they are loyal to it. Mr. Jordan took an oath to uphold the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cI really do want to see the context. He might have said, \u2018Hey, get this, isn\u2019t this crazy?\u2019 He is entitled to his whole defense. But he could offer it to us right now. Give us the context, Congressman Jordan, because that is getting pretty close to undermining the constitutional order here. By the way, not only throwing out electoral votes but the millions of votes of American citizens who cast them that determined those electoral votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic strategist Paul Begala said Thursday on CNN\u2019s \u201cThe Lead\u201d that Rep.
