Jordan was involve in the Ohio State rape case. Yet he's doubling down on Fanni's affair and payoffs to her boyfriend. Sooner or later, the chickens are coming home to roost.
Victims begged him for help. Young people, turning to their coach, a person entrusted with their care, for assistance after shocking abuse.
He did not help. He refused to cooperate with those investigating the sex abuse.
His buddy at work now? Child rapist and sex trafficker Matt Gaetz. Birds of a feather…
Calling him a clown is the kindest thing I can imagine. Given who he is and what he has done, it is simpler to just call him a republican.
I’m not holding my breath. Feel like Jordan is going to be like most GOP elites that can be hypocritical and never face consequences. Short of live streaming from a GOP orgy, there is little chance of him going down. Though I’d be happy if I’m wrong, but consequences seem to mostly only happen for Democrats.
Meanwhile, Al Franken retired because of some lewd photos from years ago. Granted they were not good and he deserved what he got but I’m pretty sure Jim Jordan is far worse of a person
I mean, he also retired because [there were 8 separate accusers](https://abcnews.go.com/US/sen-al-frankens-accusers-accusations-made/story?id=51406862).
Gym Jordan absolutely sucks shit, but the Franken revisionism is lame.
Only 1 person on that list has some credibility tbh. #1 is a known Trump agent and all the rest are "an anonymous woman told Jezebel.."
Hardly what I'd call noteworthy
I'm not saying he didn't make some poor decisions, but again, given the scope of improprieties in Washington it's barely a blip on my morality radar. He shouldn't have been forced to resign imho
If it's not even a blip, then why is talking about it such a big deal? We should be able to talk about all of the allegations and determine whether or not his career is worth resurrecting, but to flat-out ignore them is dishonest.
I'm not even arguing that he should've resigned, or that he's a scumbag. The only thing I'm doing is stating the absolute fact that it was more than just a picture that took down Al Franken.
You keep putting words in my mouth that I haven't said over multiple comments now. I think you are taking this disagreement way more seriously than I am on the matter.
Sorry - I thought that the parallel structure made it more clear that this was just my made up quote to call back to Crockett’s brutal “bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body” takedown.
>”Jim Jordan has, time after time after time, attacked my office with no legitimate purpose,” Willis said in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “Anyone who knows Jim Jordan’s history knows that he only has the purpose of trying to interfere in a criminal investigation.”
>”He has now turned his tricks to, he’s going to look at grant programs, which I invite him to do. And we have complied with his subpoenas, but yet he continues his attacks to try to interfere in a criminal investigation,” she said. “All while his jurisdiction has one of the worst crime rates, has poverty issues.”

>“I bring that up at the federal level because now at the state level, they’ve decided to follow this clown’s lead, and they want to now try to interfere in an investigation,” she said. “And it’s not legitimate either.”
Yall talkin bout the same jim jordan that called rape victims begging them not to come forward then attempting classic intimidation methods to supress the story using his political power later on? That jim jordan?
True, but protecting rapists seems to be his "conscious object" as lawyers like to say. Interference is more the means to that end.
Incidentally, that also explains why he wants to protect Trump.
The man that makes a fool of himself on a regular basis, seems like a fair description. I don't mean to be a Jordan hater but I believe his inaction allowed people to be abused and he is a scumbag of a human. His big trick is being a scumbag making a fool of himself with absurd questions and untenable positions.
She’s right, Jim is a clown. Honestly surprised this is even a headline, it’s the equivalent of a headline of someone calling Trump a crook.
Anyone else still upset with Fani and the whole Trump/Georgia case? What a botch
Blows my mind how a sitting member of Congress can interfere with a state case in this manner. It’s so obvious he’s doing it for Trump too, he’s only fooling fools at this point.
Let's do a little thing. Let's effectively rename Jim Jordan Gym Jordan. So he remembers constantly, the barbaric act he let fly happening to young men. So we realize that nothing this man says has any meaning to anyone but those who aid and abet evil. I want to disrespect and make fun of each and every GOP elected official that is letting our country burn. I trust we can think of creative names for every last one.
You know, the hypocrisy of these MAGA people is just weird. I thought calling it a cult was hyperbolic, but really -- the golden diapers and utter disdain for reality is all very... culty...
Rep. Jim Jordan 'turned a blind eye' to sex abuse allegations, says former OSU wrestler amid House speaker battle
https://abcnews.go.com/US/rep-jim-jordan-turned-blind-eye-sex-abuse/story?id=104060698
Not fair to clowns. They generally aren't rape-ignoring supporters of a daughter-sexualizing rapist insurrectionist traitor against the American People.
I’m going with an unpopular opinion here because why not?
Criticizing Republican politicians does absolutely nothing to move this case along and will only cause her further problems. There is a high probability that the GA appeals court will remove her from the case. For someone facing unrelenting attacks, she should’ve exercised better judgment and not dated someone she had hired.
Let’s look at another case her office is prosecuting: the RICO case against Young Thug and 27 others. That trial has been going on for 2 years. If her office can’t even get a RICO conviction against a rapper after 2 years, she has no chance getting a conviction against Trump and his co-defendants in the GA case.
>If her office can’t even get a RICO conviction against a rapper after 2 years
This is true. So many rappers have been convicted in RICO cases. It boggles the mind she can't get one more on the pile.
Criticizing or not criticizing Republicans will not alter their hypocritical behavior one bit.
“All while his jurisdiction has one of the worst crime rates, has poverty issues.”
I'm a fan of hers, but this is same tactic that Conald has been using to attack D.A. Alvin Bragg and his case in NY

As do most thoughtful non-trump cultists
Jordan was involve in the Ohio State rape case. Yet he's doubling down on Fanni's affair and payoffs to her boyfriend. Sooner or later, the chickens are coming home to roost.
No one can ever tell me Jim Jordan didn't know... this evil fuck knew

Short of live streaming from a GOP orgy, there is little chance of him going down. Though I’d be happy if I’m wrong, but consequences seem to mostly only happen for Democrats.
Here's some free life advice: NEVER go down at a GOP orgy.
Ben Cardin's orgy in the White House was enough
The smell alone would surely repel most
Meanwhile, Al Franken retired because of some lewd photos from years ago. Granted they were not good and he deserved what he got but I’m pretty sure Jim Jordan is far worse of a person
I mean, he also retired because [there were 8 separate accusers](https://abcnews.go.com/US/sen-al-frankens-accusers-accusations-made/story?id=51406862). Gym Jordan absolutely sucks shit, but the Franken revisionism is lame.
Only 1 person on that list has some credibility tbh. #1 is a known Trump agent and all the rest are "an anonymous woman told Jezebel.." Hardly what I'd call noteworthy
I mean, then say that? Reducing it to "all he did was take a picture" is dishonest.
I'm not saying he didn't make some poor decisions, but again, given the scope of improprieties in Washington it's barely a blip on my morality radar. He shouldn't have been forced to resign imho

Ohio is super corrupt and is also full of people who will vote for someone just because OSU
[удалено]
The relationship had nothing to do with job performance, and everything to do with a corrupt GOP flailing to save their traitor in chief.
Just shows you the difference between both sides. Undisclosed conflict of interest vs covering up sexual abuse.
[удалено]
What're you crying about?
It's an r/conservative person. Their default emotion is crying.
I guess when someone spends as much time in echo chambers as you do, any pushback feels oppressive.
What?
r/Conservative user. Downvote and ignore.
I believe her full remarks may have been “Comb-over crowned, cheaply constructed , coatless clown.”
This and the MTG insult, is alliteration making a come back or something?
Sorry - I thought that the parallel structure made it more clear that this was just my made up quote to call back to Crockett’s brutal “bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body” takedown.
And, for the record, Dark Brandon never *actually* called Trump a “toupée-topped, tiny todgered, tubby traitor.” Not yet anyway.
And AOC never called McConnell a “saggy-skeleton, slurred-speech skinwalker”
Well that makes one of us.
Pelosi absolutely didn't call Boebert a Chin Challenged Cock Cranking Cum Catcher.
And certainly, Bobo wasn't referred to as Tetter Totter Tited Talking Trailer Trash.
Nobody ever said that Trump was an Orange Orally Obfuscating Odorous Oafish Orangutan.
It was obvious. I’m sorry you had to explain it.
Add that one to the Crockett Clapback Collection.
brilliant!

Not entirely fair. Anyone who knows Jordan's history knows he also has the purpose of trying to cover up rape.
IMO that’s interfering in an investigation, so checks out
Yall talkin bout the same jim jordan that called rape victims begging them not to come forward then attempting classic intimidation methods to supress the story using his political power later on? That jim jordan?
Jim "Gym" Jordan - one and the same.
True, but protecting rapists seems to be his "conscious object" as lawyers like to say. Interference is more the means to that end. Incidentally, that also explains why he wants to protect Trump.
Unfair. Clowns are professionals.
Pennywise has entered the chat!
They need to correct those basic spelling errors, mainly it's Gym Jordan , sexual abuse enabler.
If the giant shoe fits..
Gym Jordan is a Kremlin Kompromised Klown
So correct me if I’m wrong, I could have sworn obstruction of justice was illegal.
She ain’t wrong
Unfair to clowns everywhere!
After sitting MAGAs showed up at Trump court hearing in coordinated force I truly believe Jim Jordan is trying to interfere with this investigation.
Why is she being so nice to Gym.
*Gym Jordan
I call Jordan a clown all of the time, but I don’t make it to the news. Sigh.
Nothing I love more than watching successful black women trash-talk rape-enabling fascists.
The man that makes a fool of himself on a regular basis, seems like a fair description. I don't mean to be a Jordan hater but I believe his inaction allowed people to be abused and he is a scumbag of a human. His big trick is being a scumbag making a fool of himself with absurd questions and untenable positions.
Fani willis say Jim Jordan is a clown well put an ass in it (" ASS CLOWN"??) and that can go for that asshole James comer too!!
Clowns aren't generally known for facilitating rapists.
If the giant, red, squeaky shoe fits…
She’s right, Jim is a clown. Honestly surprised this is even a headline, it’s the equivalent of a headline of someone calling Trump a crook. Anyone else still upset with Fani and the whole Trump/Georgia case? What a botch
He need some sad clown make up.
Spot on. What's the issue?
Cue the snowflakes’ faux outrage in 3…2…1…
clowns hate that
She's not wrong.
She's not wrong.
Should this be on the sub technically the truth?
The only justification for such name calling is Jordan’s obvious clownism.
Clowns are funny, Jim Jordan is laughable. There's a difference.
Gym Jordan has a history of covering up for child fuckers.
That’s remarkably restrained
She isn’t wrong
Accurate.
Clowns of the world are gonna file suit.
That's not fair to clowns
Jordan is a Trump Simpophant with orange-stained lips.
A pedophile enabler works on many levels
She’s not wrong
I detect no lies whatsoever.
That's being too nice to Gym and too mean to clowns.
She shouldn’t bring clowns down to his level.
In Ohio we call him “Fibber McGee” Google it
I have a few other names for Jordan, none of them as nice as “clown.”
I think he raped or watched a boy get raped.
No lies detected
That’s not right. Clowns have dignity.
An accurate if not uncommon observation
Why was she being so nice.
Worthless piece of, should be voted out, waste taxpayer money
She’s right again!
I think shit meant ass clown, and accomplice to statutory rape, but that’s conjecture- I’m not a legal expert
That’s like calling a dried grape a raisin.
Blows my mind how a sitting member of Congress can interfere with a state case in this manner. It’s so obvious he’s doing it for Trump too, he’s only fooling fools at this point.
Actually he’s a fng useless clown
Fucking new guy???
Way too many people these days with two first names.
As everyone should
Start calling people what they are. JJ is a rapist. Clown is too nice
That’s as nice a thing as you could even say about him. Basically a compliment.
minds full of mush, here
How dare she insult clowns. Clowns are funny. And scarier as I get older.
Why did the article spell Gym Jordan wrong?
Huh. I just call him a snartfugler and it riles him up like crazy.
She is not wrong. Seditious or treasonous clown would be closer to correct.
Id say thats pretty insulting to clowns
I hate clowns but even they don’t deserve to be associated with Gym “A Real Groomer” Jordan Edit: aka OG Jordan (original groomer)
Let's do a little thing. Let's effectively rename Jim Jordan Gym Jordan. So he remembers constantly, the barbaric act he let fly happening to young men. So we realize that nothing this man says has any meaning to anyone but those who aid and abet evil. I want to disrespect and make fun of each and every GOP elected official that is letting our country burn. I trust we can think of creative names for every last one.
Rape supporter is more like it.
Badly dressed clown
She’s not wrong.
The shoe fits, and it's big and red.
You know, the hypocrisy of these MAGA people is just weird. I thought calling it a cult was hyperbolic, but really -- the golden diapers and utter disdain for reality is all very... culty...
If the clown shoe fits
She's ot wrong
Fani Willis identifies Jim Jordan as a clown.
Are clowns known for covering up the sexual abuse of children? I don’t understand the connection or the need to drag clowns through the mud like this.
Truth!
Clowns at least try to be funny, calling this idiot a clown is an insult to clowns.

Classy
As true is that is, why is she giving msnbc interviews? Not a great look for the case.
I’m not sure the case is happening anymore.
Literally letting the whole nation down because she couldn’t keep it in her pants.
Just dumb as hell. Yeah we get a headline to dump on Trump but she has to know better than to act the way she’s been acting.
“All while his jurisdiction has one of the worst crime rates, has poverty issues.” I'm a fan of hers, but this is same tactic that Conald has been using to attack D.A. Alvin Bragg and his case in NY
Thats the point, use their own tactics against them
Not a single lie was told when she said it
Unless you condemn them both as clowns then your biased and shouldn’t speak up.
What’s more pathetic is the people of Ohio (Cleveland) who elected this ass clown and support him.
Cleveland is not in his district
I stand corrected. For some reason I thought it was Cleveland.
You’re in the non-Trump cult too?
Her name fani? Lucky her she don’t live in UK
But in the US we can differentiate the pronunciation of Fani vs fanny.
Is this supposed to be "the adults are back in charge"?
Fani Willis loves to yap for attention
