House Republicans Push Back Against Aggressive Campaign by Rep. Jim Jordan’s Supporters

House Republicans are pushing back against an outside pressure campaign by conservative media and supporters of Rep. Jim Jordan's speaker bid, which has included anonymous and vaguely threatening text messages, cussing out of staffers, and robocalls to voters. Rep. Bacon and his wife have received death threats, and Rep. Womack and Rep. Gimenez have spoken out against the campaign. Jordan has failed twice to get the votes needed to become speaker, and the pressure appears to be backfiring.
