So why is Jim Jordan, the leading Republican candidate for Speaker of the House, often called “Gym Jordan” by his critics?
Back before he was in congress, Jordan was a wrestling coach at Ohio State University. While there, at least 177 male students/athletes were sexually molested by the team doctor. Multiple men who were molested said that they told Jim Jordan about it and he turned a blind eye and did nothing. Others say his behavior was even worse and he knew about it and “begged” those who were molested to not report the guy. Jordan has also been accused of watching and doing nothing as the doctor masturbated in the locker room to the male athletes. Jordan denies having known about the molestation and says these stories are untrue.
So “Gym” Jordan is a reference to these activities. Apparently this kind of behavior nets you a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Because predators recognize their own, I guess.

So we can mostly all agree the guy is a disgusting SOB. Both personally with this wrestling stuff, and politically since he is an unindicted rioter from Jan 6th. He also is great at disrupting otherwise normal proceedings. A typical Rethugg in other words. Just who and what we never want as the 3rd in command of the US. Much less in any other position of importance. Got to love our selection processes.

One would think that after Hastert, the gop would steer clear of wrestling related sexual abuse, but apparently one would be wrong about that.

Today’s Republicans don’t care about sexual abuse or anything like that, just about owning libs.
