Is Jim Jordan the (D)s' Briar Patch?

 Y'all recall Br'er Rabbit from (the cancelled) Song of the South, right?  Br'er Rabbit implored Br'er Fox to NEVER toss him into the briar patch, feigning terror at the possibility.  Of course, Rabbit's real desire was to be tossed into the briars, where he was perfectly comfortable and defended from the Fox.

So when you read this:

 House Democrat leaders view House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), the leading candidate for Speaker of the House, as an “insurrectionist” and an “extremist extraordinaire.”...

...the story of Br'er Rabbit comes to mind.

Aside from Jordan's pounding the table and yelling at the FEEBS and the oozing pustule Garland while chairing the "Weaponization" committee, exactly what has Jim Jordan done?

Since his re-nomination for the Speaker job, there are rumors that Jordan is all comfy and happy with a CR--not just for 45 days, but for the next entire fiscal year.  Further, he's all wet and wiggly over sending even more money to Ukraine* (which, as everyone but Lindsey Graham knows, has lost the damn war.)

So are the Democrats playing Br'er Rabbit here?

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

 *But see this post which contradicts those rumors.
