The pressure is mounting on sleazy Rep. Jim Jordan, who did absolutely nothing while sexual abuse took place in Ohio State’s athletic department.
Another former wrestler says that Jordan knew what was happening and did nothing. As a matter of fact, what they did was disgustingly laugh about the sexual abuses that were taking place.
Keep in mind, this is who Donald Trump is defending 100%. He doesn’t believe all these former wrestlers coming forward. He believes the person who ignored the abuse and laughed about it.
Sleazeball Jim Jordan needs to resign. Period.
A seventh former Ohio State University wrestler said Saturday that he believes Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) knew about inappropriate behavior that allegedly took place in the school’s athletic department three decades ago, as two more former team members came to Jordan’s defense.
David Range, who wrestled for Ohio State in the late 1980s, said Jordan had to have known about alleged sexual misconduct by Richard Strauss, an athletic doctor whose behavior is under investigation by the school, because it happened regularly to team members and people talked about it. Jordan has denied he knew, saw or heard about any inappropriate behavior while he was an assistant wrestling coach from 1987 to 1995.
“Jordan definitely knew that these things were happening — yes, most definitely,” Range told The Washington Post. “It was there. He knew about it because it was an everyday occurrence.”
Range said he never discussed the issue directly with Jordan one on one and did not know whether anyone made a formal report, but he said Jordan was present during group conversations in the locker room about Strauss’s behavior.
“We talked about it all the time in the locker room” while Jordan was there, he said. “Everybody joked about it and talked about it all the time.”
