... Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) came out with a report today accusing Democrats of "fear mongering" and added that the campaign Cummings is leading against the citizenship question is a "partisan investigation."
"The Democrat fear-mongering about the citizenship question on the 2020 Census is disingenuous and wrong," Jordan writes. "Soliciting citizenship information from the people present in the United States is not new and should not be controversial."
He corroborated that claim by then citing history.
"Every decennial census from 1820 to 1950 inquired about citizenship," he writes. "From 1970 to 2000, the long-form census - sent to a segment of the population - inquired about citizenship. Since 2005, the Census Bureau has asked 3.5 million Americans about their citizenship every year."
Jordan could only guess that Democrats "do not want to know how many citizens there are in the United States." ...
