Jim Jordan turns out to be a sexual predator enabler.

[nolabear]

Of course he is. The higher the horse, the harder the fall. This had better end him.

1. Just saw that. Hope he is forced to resign. His repuke talking points make me sick.

[Gothmog]

2. Who is surprised by this?

[Blue_true]

32. He does have that creepy look about him. nt

[safeinOhio]

3. What's up with Repub house members

that use to coach college wrestling?

[lunatica]

11. Men wrestling is a dominance/submissive contact sport dontcha know...

Need I spell it out? For perverts it must be pure vicarious pleasure. No wonder he needed to take a shower with them afterwards.

[sunonmars]

4. They'll probably give him the house speaker job now and villify the victims saying they deserved it.

The GOP is full of Grand Old Perverts.

[RVN VET71]

22. Bam! The winner!

Even if these wrestlers come forward and implicate him directly in the abuse, he will continue to shine in the eyes of the GOP. He is not a deviant by Republican standards. Only Democrats can be deviants, by Republican standards, and if there's no evidence, they'll just make stuff up. Did you know that Michelle Obama is really a man and Barack is a gay foreigner? Trump's loyalists do.

Sheesh! When people defend the kidnapping of children at the border, you know there is no act so obscene and no crime so foul that they would not only stoop to it but praise it.

We're screwed and if we don't take back the House and Senate in November, we'll be screwed permanently. Every empty, baseless accusation the Republicans make against Democrats is, in reality, just a reflection of what they, themselves are guilty of. Sadly, decent people and venial sinners cannot win against evil perverts unless they GOTV 100%.

[OliverQ]

5. I hope this ruins his career but I'm not holding my breath.

It will probably increase his support and you know he won't resign over this.

[suprcali]

6. This needs to be front and center in his district

His opponent, Janet Garrett, has her response:

Twitter

If he stood by and did nothing then he should be accountable.

[calimary]

18. Welcome to DU, suprcali!

Good to know he's got a challenger! Hope she's on this - and undoubtedly more. If there've been consequences for Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky, and that Olympic gymnastics doctor, then there should be consequences for THIS, too.

Remember the old Watergate saying: "It's not (just) the crime. It's the cover-up."

[rusty fender]

7. Sexual assault

is condisered to be an asset in Repuke world

Not at all surprising that a piece of shit like Jordan would be involved in a coverup of this sort.

8. K&R

[Demsrule86]

9. Why am I not surprised?

[DURHAM D]

10. If he is an enabler he might be a perp as well.

I would like to know if tax payer money has been used to pay off claims against him since he has been in the House.

[sandensea]

14. Or SuperPAC money.

That's a billion-dollar GOP slush fund that's probably used for all kinds of dirty dealings, cover-ups, etc.

Here's hoping we can find out the true extent someday.

[Tatiana]

23. Good question!

Has anyone else been paying others off on his behalf?

Some journos need to dig into this. That many victims and he just turns a blind eye? He was probably doing something along those same lines.

[Vinca]

12. Another holier-than-thou Repubican bites the dust.

[calimary]

19. Hasn't yet. We should all help him get there.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Is this what Coach Jordan would do if he walked in on a boy getting molested?

.

[lame54]

15. The Sgt. Schults defense

[calimary]

16. Oh Sweet God I have been waiting for this! Something to take this insufferable smart-ass DOWN.

This interrupting goon. This rude, mean-spirited, and ULTRA-smug thug. And if not down, then muddied up -preferably a lot. Stench needs to be applied - liberally! And I'll take any opposition research available! We all should.

PLANT THE SEEDS.

SEED THE DOUBT.

NURTURE it a little, and help it GROW.

[ouija]

17. Past Behaviors

Predict future behaviors. He is doing just what he did in the past enabling this pervert to screw us all.

[calimary]

21. Welcome to DU, ouija!

You've certainly got THAT right. Look at who he's enabling now.

[nolabear]

24. Can you believe this isn't front page news?

I’d love to see it blow up and 45 make some snarky paranoid tweet.

[DoctorJoJo]

20. This Is Just What Jordan Needs, ...

... to burnish his House Leadership credentials in the mold of Denny Hastert!

[roamer65]

25. Shows his complete lack of morality and ethics.

Typical self centered repukedness. He should resign immediately.

[Sneederbunk]

26. Apparently there is more than one Hastert Rule.

[superpatriotman]

27. Is there a more ironically-named cult

than the "Freedom Caucus"?

[Gothmog]

28. From the Democrat running against Jordan

Link to tweet

[gibraltar72]

29. This is big we're talking several thousand across

more than 10 sports. Multiple people are coming forward and saying he knew and did nothing. Even made a comment if the doctor moved on him he'd be sorry. I think in light of MSU this has legs.

[DesertRat]

30. He needs to go. k&r

[gademocrat7]

31. He needs to resign.

Despicable behavior.

[Scurrilous]

33. K&R
