After GOP Rep. Jim Jordan called out Los Angeles protesters holding Mexican flags by declaring, "We fly the American flag in America," California Governor Gavin Newsom shared images of the January 6 insurrection to call out Jordan's hypocrisy.

After Ohio Representative Jim Jordan criticized Los Angeles protesters who've held Mexican flags in a symbolic move against President Donald Trump's immigration policies, California Governor Gavin Newsom called out his hypocrisy by sharing images of the January 6 insurrection.

Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Account, used the body's official X account to admonish "Democrat-run Los Angeles" by sharing a Fox News video of a protester who waved a Mexican flag as he circled a burning car on his motorcycle.

Later, Jordan declared via his own account that "We fly the American flag in America," a statement that prompted readers to point out that he has an Israeli flag "outside of his office door."

Awwwkwaard.

In a clapback for the ages, Newsom then shared photos taken on January 6, 2021—the day a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on the false premise the election had been stolen—that show insurrectionists wielding the American flag as they actively engaged in violence in their attempted insurrection.

Newsom said:

"Like this?"

Jim Jordan, of course, was a primary architect of Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, leading many to cheer on Newsom for calling out Jordan's hypocrisy, and that of the MAGA movement.

Others criticized Jordan more directly.



It should be noted that Jordan didn't seem to have a problem with all the flags flown by Trump supporters during the January 6 attack, which included flags, signs, and symbols associated with racist, white supremacist, and extremist groups alongside Trump 2020 banners and American flags.

Among them was the flag of the Three Percenters, an anti-government militia group known for its extremist views. Their logo has appeared on modified versions of the traditional Betsy Ross flag. Also visible was the “Release the Kraken” flag—a reference to a phrase used by former Trump attorney Sidney Powell, who falsely claimed to possess explosive evidence that would overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Variations of Confederate and Gadsden flags were widely seen in the crowd. One altered Confederate battle flag featured an image of an assault rifle and the slogan “Come and take it,” signaling opposition to gun control. In one striking moment, an insurrectionist was photographed carrying a Confederate battle flag through the halls of the Capitol itself.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
