Fox News guest exposes Jim Jordan to viewers

Left-leaning political adviser Kristal Knight reminded Fox News viewers on Monday that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has been accused of covering up sexual crimes while he was a wrestling coach at Ohio State University.

While hosting on a Fox News panel, anchor Julie Banderas asked Knight about Jordan's recent criticism of President Joe Biden's handling of Covid-19, inflation and crime. Knight encouraged viewers to examine Jordan's history of controversies.

"We cannot blame the president for every single thing," Knight said. "We have to remember who the messenger is. This is the same Jim Jordan who sent a text on Jan. 5 encouraging the insurrection. This is also the same Jim Jordan who covered up a sexual crime in his state."

"So when we're talking about the criticisms, we also need to remember, who is the messenger that's also doing this criticizing?" she added.

Gym was never charged, and some of the lawsuits have been dropped due to statute of limitations. Dr. Strauss committed suicide before he could be brought to justice.

probably blew up the Fox News faithful. That is exactly what Fox News tells them all day, every day, 24 hours a day.

Suffice it to say Fox won’t be inviting that lady back for more commentary.

Who booked someone this intelligent to be on a Faux News panel? I wonder if they will lose their job for this?

Normally, I wouldn't joke about someone possibly losing their job, but getting fired from THAT cesspool could be a blessing in disguise.

Has recently been talking about running for president. Don’t think that she is so much of a truth teller, but clearing the way for TFG.

Jordan has so much baggage that he would spend most of his time trying to cover it up... normal MO. He is crazy enough to actually get the nomination with the brain-dead part of the party, but that is only a small fraction. Now, if they cheat... All bets are off... and either Jordan or Trump will be the nominee. But to win over independents.... not a chance...
