Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio should maybe probably consider taking a break from Twitter for a while since every time he tweets it just blows up in his face.
Yesterday was no exception.
On Monday, Jordan tweeted misleading remarks about the Democrats’ response to COVID-19 then clumsily tried to link it to people crossing the U.S. border.
“Democrats: Won’t let your kids go to school. Won’t let restaurants open at 100% capacity. But don’t seem to care about #COVID19 when it comes to illegal migrants crossing the border. Why?” he wrote.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Democrats:
-Won’t let your kids go to school.
-Won’t let restaurants open at 100% capacity.
-But don’t seem to care about #COVID19 when it comes to illegal migrants crossing the border.
Why?

We could spend time factchecking Jordan’s tweet and explaining why it’s wildly inaccurate, but that’s really not the most interesting part of this story.
The interesting part is how people responded to it, mainly by once again reminding the homophobic lawmaker about that college wrestling gay sex abuse scandal that’s been haunting him for years.

In 2018, Jordan was accused of ignoring allegations of sexual misconduct made against the team doctor when he worked as assistant coach for the Ohio State men’s wrestling team. Not only that, but he was also accused of aiding and abetting in the cover-up.
Jordan, a staunch Trump loyalist, has long denied the allegations and swears that he never witnessed any abuse take place in the locker room or participated in a cover-up, to which most everyone has said…
And now, the responses to Jordan’s tweet yesterday…

Gym Jordan is a complete idiot.
Why?

Maybe they are afraid of the assistant coach!!!!

Jim, what have you done to help? Can’t wait to hear your report!

Jim doesn’t seem to care about reporting abuse.

Don’t forget about the abuse at Ohio State Gym. That should have been taken care of before the pandemic.

Also, Jim Jordan turned a blind eye while Ohio wrestlers were molested by the team doctor. He has done nothing to right the wrongs. He also hasn’t passed any legislation for 14 years. #CancelJimJordan

I wonder if JJ has large collection Shake Weights at his home gym?

Cover-up? I’m sure he didn’t ask the wrestlers to cover up.

All of this doesn’t matter bc he caters to the lowest common denominator aka Fox News viewers. That’s the garbage that got Trump elected in the first place and divided this country even more. If ur homophobic, misogynistic, racist and a middle aged white man, that’s his demographic. And they have their old lady white b*tches vote them in

These Twitter digests are funny, and I love the way the bad guy always gets his comeuppance. He was a college wrestler at 138 lbs! Either he’s a magician at losing weight or he’s a really tiny man.
Anyway, he could be defeated if the Democrats focused on candidates and funding for 2022 starting now (should have been months ago). Even if House members are in “safe seats”, where they get reelected regardless of how effective they are in Congress, they still can get defeated — as happened to Dana Rohrbacher in CA in 2018. Please God don’t let the Republicans take the House in 2022.

Yet again, another of that party who is right on brand.

Bwahahahahahahahaha! Jimmy Jordan is just a pip squeak and an embarrassment to his political party!

Don’t spend time worrying, what goes around will come around.

Jordan is one of the nastiest, meanest members of Congress.
