EXCLUSIVE: Jim Jordan—2024 Election is Last Chance for the First Amendment in America
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan warns free speech will go extinct if the Left wins in 2024
Democrat politicians are so deranged they’re seeking to destroy all dissenting views and voices, Rep. Jim Jordan (R–OH) said in a speech for the Republican Women’s Federal Forum at the Capitol Hill Club on Jan. 18. Restoration News was privileged to cover the event.
Forum chair Terri Hasdorff introduced Jordan as one of the most conservative members of Congress before he took the mic to describe how insane the Left has become.

“You can go down the crazy list [of] where the Left wants to go, where the Left and the Democrats would take the country and where we are,” Jordan said. “The Republican Party is now the party of just common sense. Because the Left wants to defund the police. That’s crazy. The Left thinks we shouldn’t have a border. That is crazy.
He said it’s a misconception Republicans are engaging in a “culture war,” because in reality they’re “just normal.”
The Left thinks non-citizens should vote. We kind of think you should be a citizen of the greatest country ever to vote in our elections. What’s so radical about that?
Restoration News followed up with Jordan’s office about Congress working together with state lawmakers to prosecute Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, for crimes committed on his watch at the southern border, but did not receive an immediate response.
Most importantly though, Jordan warned the audience about how badly the Biden Administration has damaged the First Amendment. He warned that without its protections, America would cease to be a free nation.
“What [we] cannot recover from, is if the Left continues to attack and take away our First Amendment liberties. This is where we spent the bulk of our time on the Judiciary Committee,” he explained. “If you think about the First Amendment, we got five liberties . . . Your right to practice your faith, your right to assemble like we’re doing today, you’re right to petition members of Congress . . . Free press and free speech . . . All of them have been attacked. Think about it, during COVID they were saying you couldn’t go to church on Sunday. In America?”
He then recalled a moment when former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted that the Biden administration was “working with the social media platforms to limit the information Americans can see.”

Jordan claimed to have obtained emails that proved the Biden administration colluded with Big Tech companies to censor certain posts, despite their truth and validity. He added that the “scariest” attack is the one that’s been launched against “the right to talk,” because it limits faith, interaction with government, assembly, and overall liberty.
Jordan pivoted to how important the upcoming presidential election has become, saying that despite his strong support for President Trump, the vote is really about preserving the Constitution and “defending the First Amendment.”
After taking several questions from the audience, Jordan shared an update on the Congressional investigation into Hunter Biden and the Biden family, saying that the “crux” of the potential high crimes and misdemeanors worthy of impeachment will lie with the Burisma energy company scandal regarding potential bribery.
“I think it’s an old story,” he said. “Politician does certain things, those things benefit his family financially, and then there’s an effort to conceal it. That’s what David Weiss did at the Justice Department. But for the whistleblowers, we caught him trying to conceal it.”
“There are four fundamental facts,” Jordan added. “Fact number one, Hunter Biden gets put on the board of this Ukrainian energy company. Fact two, he’s not qualified to be on the board. . . Fact number three, the executives who run this Ukrainian energy company ask Hunter Biden ‘Can you weigh in with your father, with DC to help us with the pressure we are under?’ Fact number four, three days after that Joe Biden gets on a plane, calls an audible according to the Washington Post, and says we are going to change policy.”
The Judiciary Committee Chairman said Hunter Biden would be brought in for a deposition imminently, but claimed he’d already concluded that the facts point to the Bidens being guilty. Congress just needs to zero in on what specific infractions were committed.
“I’ve always said it should be driven by the facts and evidence,” Jordan concluded. “But I think the facts and evidence are pretty compelling now. We just have to complete the inquiry.”
