Jim Jordan’s misguided claim that ‘real America is done’ with Covid

Jim Jordan’s misguided claim that ‘real America is done’ with Covid

Six months ago, Republican Jim Jordan was asked about Covid-19 vaccinations. The Ohio congressman responded as if the pandemic was old news unworthy of ongoing discussion.

"Look, I think we're way past this," the far-right lawmaker said. "I think the country is ready to move on and we're done with this, but you guys just keep wanting to talk about it."

In context, "you guys" seemed to refer to journalists, who continued to cover the ongoing public-health crisis, to Jordan's apparent frustration.
