Gym Jordan slammed for 'particularly offensive' remarks about Tyre Nichols' beating death

During an appearance on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) expressed dismay at the beating death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols at the hands of five Memphis police officers -- and then dismissed the idea that new laws need to be implemented to stop police abuse.

Speaking with host Chuck Todd, the Ohio Republican stated, "I don't know that there's any law that can stop that evil that we saw," before later adding, "But no amount of training's going to change what we saw in that video."

That led GOP campaign consultant Susan Del Percio to pounce on the new House Judiciary Committee chairman for blowing off the idea that changes need to be made.

Appearing on MSNBC, she stated, "There are so many things that have happened over the years that should be bringing both parties together but they don't."

New laws aren't needed to deal with sex abuse either says Gym.

"No law can stop what happened," as if that's a reason not to enact a law. People have been murdering each other forever, so why put a law against murder on the books? What a dumbshit.
