Is a useless liar. Enough said. I can only hope he is replaced at his next renewal period.

2. I've heard that a documentary's coming out about the sexual abuse that took place at Ohio State

By the wrestling team doctor - which the coaches knew about, including Jordan. He declined to be interviewed for the film, but it's bound to be a serious embarrassment for him.


Rep. Jim Jordan knew about and shrugged off OSU wrestling sexual abuse, victims say

A new HBO documentary about the alleged cover-up of sexual assaults at Ohio State University by predator Dr. Richard Strauss alleges that Rep. Jim Jordan knew about the abuse at the time and failed to act.

Surviving Ohio State, produced by George Clooney, covers Strauss’s tenure at the institution from 1978 to 1998 and alleges that staff, including Jordan, then an assistant wrestling coach at the school, knew about Strauss’s conduct but did nothing to prevent it.

Jordan has always denied any knowledge of the matter but declined to be interviewed for the film, as did the university’s former wrestling coach, Russ Hellickson, and the Ohio State board of trustees.

The Independent has contacted the congressman for comment.

Dan Ritchie, who wrestled at the university from 1988 to 1992, said in the documentary that the doctor had a reputation for conducting unnecessary genital exams with ungloved hands, earning him mocking nicknames among the student body like “Dr Fun Boy” and “Dr Jelly Fingers.”

Ritchie alleges that Jordan, while serving as an assistant wrestling coach, addressed the rumors directly with his athletes, blustering: “If he ever did that to me, I’d snap his neck like a stick of dry balsa wood.”

It's about time we got some good news about Jordan. According to Liz Cheney's book, Jordan was complicit in the January 6th insurrection and was meeting with TFG while it was taking place when others were desperately trying to contact TFG to beg him to call it off!

Jordan apparently tried to force student athletes to recant and take his name out of the accusations.

7. I really like it too! WTF is the matter with those in Congress who police risked their lives to protect on January 6th?!

And some DIED! However, according to Liz Cheney's book, Gym Jordan was complicit and was meeting with TFG DURING the attack while everyone else was trying to call him to beg him to stop the assault!
