'Hypocrite': Jim Jordan accused of taking credit for results of Biden act he voted against
Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is being called a hypocrite for taking credit for the results of Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, which Jordan voted against.
Jordan, a frequent defender of Donald Trump who was recently accused of causing "real harm to the American people" in a letter by an ethics group, has been a staunch opponent of Biden, and has co-led the push to investigate the president for potential impeachable offenses.
But on Friday, Jordan appeared to celebrate Biden's major legislative comment, according to his social media followers.

“'New manufacturing plant to create 160 local jobs.' 'Sheetz to hire over 400 new employees in Ohio' 'Honda and LG Energy begin hiring for new plant.' Ultimately: Move your business to Ohio. Hire workers. See success," the congressman wrote on his social media.
The comments are almost universally about a single topic: Joe Biden's legislative accomplishments.
@ArtCandee wrote, "Thank Joe Biden for the money."
@NicholasABrown_ said, "Because of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act – which Congressman Jim Jordan voted against."
@ATTACKTRADE added, "Jim will take credit for the sun rising tomorrow too."
One commenter simply posted an image with the word "hypocrite."
Michael Kelly, actor in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, also chimed in.
"Just look at what Biden has done even though you voted against all of it," Kelly said.
White House Deputy Communications Director Herbie Ziskend also pointed out the alleged hypocrisy.
"Thank you [Jordan] for spotlighting how the Inflation Reduction Act is driving job creation in Ohio!" he said on Saturday.
Ziskend brought evidence, as well. He included screenshots of various news articles, including, "Toyota, LG Energy sign $3 billion battery supply deal in U.S. EV push," and "Honda and LG Energy Solution Announce Ohio as Home to Joint Venture EV Battery Plant."
