  • Rep. Jim Jordan held a Manhattan hearing criticizing its 'soft-on-real-crime' DA.
  • The House Judiciary Committee hearing was met with pushback about crime in red states like Jordan's.
  • One Democrat even tried to get the hearing adjourned to Jordan's higher-crime state of Ohio.

GOP Rep. Jim Jordan came to lower Manhattan on Monday to criticize what he called District Attorney Alvin Bragg's "soft-on-crime approach to the real criminals," but ended up facing hard-to-ignore facts about his own state's record on violent crime.
