Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) may be one of Donald Trump's top elected allies, but the former president's supporters appear to be holding a grudge against the conservative lawmaker, based on their response to his last statement.

Jordan, who has been called out for "hypocritical" comments in the past, took to social media on Saturday to support Trump in his efforts to battle the legal system in several criminal cases.

"Indicting former chiefs of staff and lawyers for President Trump is banana republic craziness," Jordan said, likely referencing a recent indictment in Arizona.

He then asked, "What happened to our country?"

Jordan got the typical insults from the left, but he also got a dose from Trump supporters and self-proclaimed conservatives.

@GuntherEagleman, a MAGA political commentator, said, "Our [House GOP] has no f------ b---- whatsoever is what happened."

@DogRightGirl, who describes herself as "America First," also chimed in:

"Imagine if you were in a position of power to do anything about it….. Keep posting on X. That seems to be working."

Ohio lawyer Tom Renz, who has accused Hunter Biden of creating COVID-19, also had words for Jordan.

"Our elected officials sold out instead of standing for us. Instead of standing for good legislation they compromised with the dems and refused to hold the sellouts accountable. Instead of taking actions they held hearings," he said on Saturday. "Instead of telling truth they lie for lobbyists. And worst, instead of listening to the people they are supposed to represent they stand for big money that puts its own interests ahead of those of the American people. Any other questions?"

Trump-supporting MAGA activist Cynthia Holt also weighed in.

"Thankfully we got another sternly written tweet from Jim. I'll sleep much better tonight," she said.

Jack Grodeska, a former TV host and conservative independent, said the GOP operatives charged "committed crimes."

"You're up next, Insurrectionist," he then added. "Remember, Donald never gave you your preemptive pardon. If SCOTUS agrees to Trump's presidential immunity grift, that means Joe Biden sends you to a black ops site with all of your Congressional insurrectionist co-conspirators. Have a great weekend."
