Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan clashed with CNN\u2019s Dana Bash during a tense interview on \u201cState of the Union\u201d about President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s campaign rhetoric on retribution. Bash pressed Jordan on whether Trump would target opponents, referencing his past promises to exact “retribution” against critics.<\/p>\n

Jordan denied the idea, arguing that retribution had already been coming from the other side, particularly from the Biden administration. He emphasized that Republicans were against using lawfare to target political opponents, insisting Trump wouldn\u2019t follow through on retribution in his second term.<\/p>\n

Bash continued to challenge Jordan on the issue, specifically questioning whether Trump\u2019s promises to prosecute opponents, like Biden, Obama, and others, would be realized. Jordan pushed back, citing the Biden administration’s own actions against political opposition as examples of retribution.<\/p>\n

The debate also shifted to immigration, with Bash asking Jordan about illegal immigrant deportations. Despite their differences, the discussion highlighted the sharp divide between Jordan\u2019s defense of Trump\u2019s approach and Bash\u2019s concerns about the potential consequences for political opponents.
