With Jim Jordan elected GOP leader, let’s remember that Jordan is part of a longstanding coverup of sexual abuse of student athletes at Ohio State by Dr. Richard Strauss. The story got a lot of attention a few years ago and it briefly seemed possible that it might derail Jordan’s position in the House GOP caucus. But he stonewalled, refused to credibly address the allegations and eventually his colleagues and conservative media gave him a pass. He’s never come clean about any of it. As recently as last year there was a whole new documentary about it. Multiple ex-wrestlers and even a ref describe how Jordan knew about it, turned a blind eye and has been lying about it ever since. “To say that (Jordan) knew nothing, that nothing ever happened, it’s a flat out lie,” said former Ohio State Wrestler Dan Ritchie in the documentary. You’d think House Republicans would be stung enough by Donald Trump’s main character status in the Epstein Files. But memories are short. Jordan was never the caucus leader until now. Democrats need to be certain everyone knows that his colleagues know about his stonewalling and the coverup and are fine with it.
I don’t know what I expected, but I guess I thought Republicans would be at least a little conciliatory. I was a fool. I think the strategy of total obstruction they’re setting themselves up for is going to continue to fail with the American public, just like it failed in this election, especially because they keep putting pedophiles and those who are documented to be protecting them in charge
This needs to be brought up once a month until he’s gone.
My personal trainer is a former college athletic trainer and JJ just makes him foam at the mouth.
His party members don’t care. We know that. Don’t expect them to clean their house. But don’t stop reminding them how dirty it is.
This will surely put to bed any suggestions that the Republican party is composed of paedophiles and those who protect them.
Subcommittee time :)
Survivors of Dr. Richard Strauss say Ohio Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan knew about the sexual abuse the student-athletes suffered, according to HBO’s new documentary, “Surviving Ohio State.”
Jordan declined to be interviewed for the documentary, but his name is frequently brought up by former Ohio State wrestlers and a referee. The documentary came out last month. Over the years, Jordan has repeatedly denied having any knowledge of the abuse.
He never saw the sexual abuse going on because he’s Gym-Pants-on-Head Jordan.
