U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is among those who've been burned by WinRed PAC.

Always determined to attack Democrats any way he can, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio has been loudly pushing anti-vaxxer ideas. On Monday, September 6, the far-right Republican congressman tweeted that "vaccine mandates are unamerican." And it didn't take Twitter users long to remind Jordan that in fact, vaccine mandates have a long history in the United States.

From businesses to the U.S. Armed Forces to schools, vaccine mandates existed in the United States long before the COVID-19 pandemic. And one of the medical experts who gave Jordan a badly needed history lessozn was Houston-based Dr. Peter Hotez, who has made countless appearances on MSNBC and CNN in 2021. In response to Jordan, Hotez tweeted:

On January 6th 1777, George Washington wrote to Dr. William Shippen Jr., ordering him to inoculate all the troops that came through Philadelphia.

"Necessity not only authorizes but seems to require the measure, for should the disorder infect the Army . . . we should have more to dread from it, than from the Sword of the Enemy." Washington wrote.

5. You can't erase history

This is what happens when dumbasses learn history mainly from statues instead of school books.

12. Some of them know they are lying

True, some of these idiot Republicans don't know what they are talking about. But many more know they are lying, but just don't care. (See the interview where Sen Ron Johnson counters claims about the election being stolen in Wisconsin. He knows it wasn't stolen, admitted it to what he thought was a supporter, but then goes on TV saying how it was stolen.) Their constituents will believe them no matter how wrong they are if the statement fits into their constituents worldview.

10. I was born in Rapid City, SD in 1955.

My family moved to OH in 1964 to care for my stepfather's Dad and here I am, still.

Nothing like being embarrassed by current ReThugLiCon politicians of 2 states that I can call home.

At least Tom Daschle has, and is currently doing SD proud.

15. I was given the polio vaccine in elementary school.

The school administered the oral doses.

18. It's not that he doesn't know this, it's that he lies for pollitical profit knowing that.

In other words he's manipulating people to cause them to sicken & die from Covid because he thinks this is a winning move for rw total fucking idiots. That's how stupid, mean, crazy & awful he, and the majority of the r's are.

20. Rape is un-American as well, Gym

Not at TOSU apparently and not according to you.

21. He is deliberately wasting everyone's time.

He throws out a Gish Gallop that took about 10 seconds to think up, and mulitple Liberals launch into research and refutation mode.

It is a strategy: destroy debate, destroy facts, destroy Truth.
