Gym Jacket Off Jordan: "Ridiculous" to say he ignored sexual abuse, because...he defended Trump

Jim Jordan rants about Adam Schiff when asked if he ignored wrestlers who said they were molested at OSU

In an interview with the Lima News, Jordan dismissed the referee’s allegation against him as “ridiculous,” and he said that anyone who has followed his political career knows that he’s not the type of person to ignore wrongdoing.

As examples, he cited his willingness to fight with prominent politicians and government officials who have been investigating President Donald Trump’s alleged wrongdoing.

“I’ve stood up against the IRS, stood up against the FBI, stood up against Adam Schiff, fought the Justice Department when the whole Trump-Russia thing — what they had done,” he said. “The idea I’m not going to defend our athletes when I think they’re being harmed is ridiculous.”

This man is an odious creep who has no business calling anyone else's words or motivations into question. I am so glad his feet are being held to the fire on this, and I hope the hounding continues until he is finally brought down: for refusing to act in defense of his athletes as required, and for lying about it.

Oh. That's right. He didn't. He sat on that information and betrayed his athletes while protecting sexual predators.
