Yes, and
@Jim_Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at OSU at the time and knew about the allegation but simply laughed them off. Multiple wrestlers stated he knew, including one that told Jordan directly. So, why is Jordan still in Congress?#impeach#LockHimUp -
Is this what Jordan told some men?
-
It’s what the head coach text some of them recently after the story broke to try and protect
@Jim_Jordan. They also hired a PR firm that was responsible for smearing Mr. Yetts in an attempt to discredit their claims. Yup, that’s the guy they want to be speaker of the house. -
Couldn't believe Him Jordan went on Fox and bashed two of the men
Then tried to make himself the victim.

Ugh. I missed that. I’ll look for it tmrw.

I caught it on Last Word

Jim Jordan should resign.
-
Yes,
#JimJordan 's career as a "public servant" is over and he should resign now!@JimJordan you can't fix what you did. You can't turn back time and give back the innocence of many of the wrestlers that are affected for life. GET OUT JORDAN. IT'S OVER FOR YOU. GET OUT. -
