On Friday Night, Fox News Ed Henry and Senior Capitol Hill Producer Chad Pergram analyzed Rep. Jim Jordans interview earlier on Special Report.
The prominent congressional Republican from Ohio sat down with Bret Baier and vehemently denied the allegations made by several former college wrestlers that he turned a blind eye to sexual abuse when he worked as their assistant coach at Ohio State University.
Pergram pointed out that of all the accusers, Jordan repeatedly took aim at Michael Disabato, who he claimed during the interview has a vendetta against Ohio State because he lost a licensing agreement with the university and attempted to discredit him by invoking his arrest earlier this year.
But heres the problem: there are so many people involved in this who seem to be credible whove come forth who arent named Mike Disabato, Pergram reacted. And thats the problem for Jim Jordan, that theres about five to six people who say, Wait a minute, Jim Jordan did know about this. There are people who know Jim Jordan, who like him, who say Wait a minute. He needs to speak up.'
Pergram seemed to side with Jordan regarding the argument that the law firm behind the investigation didnt exactly go above and beyond in reaching out to the congressmans office.

Jim Jordan is a liar. It is a matter of time before we know the reason he let these young men down.

The Rs prey on - thrive on - 'grievance' and 'fear' as a tactic. 40 years of 'think tanks.'
It is dog-whistle coded wording now - and it works - on them.
