Rep. Jim Jordan from Ohio should perhaps consider taking a break from Twitter for a while, because every time he tweets it blows up in his face.
Yesterday was no exception.
Jordan tweeted misleading remarks about Democrats’ response to COVID-19 on Monday, then clumsily tried to link it to people crossing the U.S. border.
“Democrats: won’t let your kids go to school. Will not allow restaurants to open at 100% capacity. But doesn’t seem to care about # COVID19 when it comes to illegal migrants crossing the border. Why? ”He wrote.
Democrats:
-Do not let your children go to school.
-Do not let restaurants open at 100% of their capacity.
-But don’t seem to care about # COVID19 when it comes to illegal migrants crossing the border.
Why?

We could spend some time checking Jordan’s tweet and explaining why it’s extremely inaccurate, but that’s really not the most interesting part of this story.
The interesting part is how people reacted to it, mainly by reminding the homophobic lawmaker once again of this college gay sex abuse scandal that has haunted him for years.

In 2018, Jordan was accused of ignoring allegations of sexual misconduct made against the team’s doctor while working as an assistant coach for the Ohio State Men’s Wrestling Team. Not only that, but he was also accused of aiding and abetting the cover-up.
Jordan, a stalwart of Trump, has long denied the allegations and swears he never witnessed abuse in the locker room or participated in a cover-up, to which almost everyone has said …
And now the responses to Jordan’s tweet yesterday …

Don’t forget the abuse at Ohio State Gym. This should have been fixed before the pandemic.

Additionally, Jim Jordan closed his eyes as the Ohio wrestlers were assaulted by the team medic. He did nothing to right the wrongs. It has also not passed a law for 14 years. #CancelJimJordan
