Republican Rep. Jim Jordan is a god-awful human being. His positioning on the House Intelligence Committee during the impeachment hearings is a mystery in as much as he’s dumb and has nothing but enormous skeletons in his own closet. There are the numerous lawsuits and allegations that while an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University, Jordan knew about multiple young men being sexually assaulted and molested by Dr. Richard Strauss.

However, the GOP seems to want to find the most craven and shameless of the Republican reps available to spin their wheels, since an actual defense of Trump’s actions surrounding the Ukraine eludes them. But, Jordan has a grotesque quality of speaking fast, saying nothing, and then acting like he’s smugly made a point. It’s a delusional quality that has kept him upright these past many years as he internally rationalizes being such a coward to those he perceives to be good for his career.

But for all of Rep. Jordan’s bluster and fast-talking bullshit, most of the American public knows that he is a man that allowed younger men to be molested and raped by his coworker. He turned a blind eye to protecting the young people he was charged to tutor and help become adults. He’s a coward and a liar. No less than three hashtags have been trending today, all referring to Jordan. #GymJordan and #Mr. Jordan and #Rep. Jordan, are filled with nothing but the facts about Jim Jordan.

Let’s go take a look.

Sign the petition: Jim Jordan ignored sexual abuse. Why is he now on the House Intelligence Committee?

Don’t play the drinking game where you drink every time you think a witness wants to tell Rep. Jordan to go F-himself.

Ã¢ÂÂAs I testified, Mr. JordanÃ¢ÂÂ¦Ã¢ÂÂ is the classiest way IÃ¢ÂÂve ever heard someone say, Ã¢ÂÂListen, shit burger.Ã¢ÂÂ #ImpeachmentHearings

Ã¢ÂÂFor what purpose does Mr. Jordan seek recognition.Ã¢ÂÂ Ã¢ÂÂ favorite Schiff quote so far, so meta #ImpeachmentInquiry #FuckYouJimJordan

As I testified, Mr. Jordan = Bitch, did I stutter?

And don’t think we don’t know what Jordan’s job is on this committee.

Mr. Jordan was promoted to the Intelligence Committee because he's an expert on looking the other way when crimes are committed.

Reminder.

Fifty bucks to anyone who uses thirty seconds of their time to ask Gym Jordan why he didnÃ¢ÂÂt report sexual assault in the showers. @Jim_Jordan #ImpeachmentHearings

In a perfect world:

Chairman Schiff: The chair suggests Mr. Jordan, the gentleman from Ohio, switch to decaf.

Are you watching this shit show? After Trump is impeached, they need to get rid of a few more politicians. Mr. Jordan is an angry evil little man.

"I'd be happy for the person who started this to come in and testify. President Trump is welcome to come in and sit right there."
