House committee meeting gets heated when Rep. Perlmutter asks Rep. Jordan if Biden won election
'How many times do I have to say it?' the Ohio congressman asked

The tension was high Tuesday afternoon when the House Rules Committee met to debate a resolution calling for Vice President Mike Pence to convene the cabinet and invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office before his term ends next week.
Early in the hearing, Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Col., asked Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to say publicly that President-elect Joe Biden won the election. Jordan had no problem saying that, but he took issue with being asked to do so in the first place.
"I would just say, sort of from one lawyer to another, Mr. Jordan, in a cross-examine sort of way, isn't it true that Joe Biden won the election?" Perlmutter pressed.
"Yes, he's going to be president, and I've never said, as the chairman indicated earlier, I've never said that this election was stolen," Jordan replied. "What I've said very clearly is half the electorate — half the electorate, both Republicans and Democrats, have concerns."
Perlmutter interjected, yelling out, "Jim! Mr. Jordan!" until the Ohio Republican stopped.
"It was a simple question," Perlmutter said. "Isn’t it true Joe Biden won the election, yes or no?"
"Yes, he won. How many times do I have to say it?" Jordan responded. "Yes, he won, but there are serious problems with this election that deserve an investigation, and that's what I've called for. And it's not just Republicans who think that. Countless number of Democrats think that this thing had problems too. We called for an investigation and you guys didn’t want to do it. No investigation."
"Mr. Jordan," Perlmutter interrupted.
"Well, you asked me a question, I got to give an answer," Jordan said.
