Jim Jordan Accused of Playing ‘Word Games’ on the Ohio State Wrestling Sexual-Abuse Scandal

____

One big question hanging over Jordan’s candidacy involves allegations from multiple former Ohio State wrestlers who say that Jordan, while a coach at the university, failed to protect them from a sexually abusive team doctor named Richard Strauss.

______

“My problem with Jimmy is that he has been playing with words instead of supporting us,” Doe said. “None of us used the words ‘sexual abuse’ when we talked about what Doc Strauss was doing to us, we just knew it was weird and Jimmy knew about it because we talked about it all the time in the locker room, at practices, everywhere.”

I reached out to Dye on Monday to ask about the wrestler’s claim that Jordan was playing word games.


_______

NBC reports that a lawyer representing former OSU wrestlers “plans to depose Jordan and have him testify under oath that he was unaware that Strauss was abusing students.” Jordan would need better answers than his spokesman’s pro forma denial in such a deposition.

Jordan, as well as rank-and-file House Republicans, will also need better answers when addressing the court of public opinion. When South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace, an early backer of Jordan’s speakership bid, was asked on CBS’s Face the Nation about the allegations against Jordan, she replied: “I’m not familiar or aware with that.”

1. Looks like NR sees Jordan as a political liability for GOP

tying to cut him off at the knees.

We'll see where it goes but the NR is no longer a pacesetter in RW opinion world.

Then, and only THEN would we see the M$M worked up into a frenzy.....
