Ohio congressman and former Ohio State assistant wrestling coach Jim Jordan has been accused of participating in the cover-up of widespread sexual abuse in OSU’s wrestling program.

Jordan was accused by Adam DiSabato, who was the team captain in the late 1980s and early 1990s. DiSabato was appearing in front of a hearing in the Ohio legislature as a witness for House Bill 249, which would waive the statute of limitations and allow the OSU athletes who had been abused to sue the university.

DiSabato told the House Civil Justice Committee that several team officials, including Jordan, were aware that the team’s open shower facilities put them at risk of being abused and harassed by a team doctor, but did nothing about it. Then DiSabato detailed a phone conversation between him and Jordan, in which Jordan asks DiSabato to help him cover up wrongdoing.

It’s called the disease of false accusations.

They will soon pay the piper.

Sexual abuse seems like a crime catch-all that requires little proof for conviction.

Adults?
Not kids but college jocks?

I’m thinking that they would have been able to kick some doctor’s scrawny little ass.

And here’s NEXT week’s talking points for the dems...

And I’ll go back to what I always say:

Got video?
Got Audio?
Got Pictures?
No?
Then it didn’t happen.

PROVE IT.

And when they can’t prove it, Jordan needs to sue them personally and destroy them financially.

“...nd we continue to tip toe around them...”

Nah.... Men don’t “tip-toe”.

Well... maybe the “men” on the democrat side like to “tip-toe”.

Jordan needs to hit these people and hit them hard. Produce hard evidence, or see you in court.

Sue them into oblivion and bankruptcy.

They see him as the possible 3rd and 4th term for PDJT, so they have to try to destroy him.

And if Trump has taught the GOP ANYTHING, it’s to fight back.

And any Repub that hasn’t learned that lesson, and that doesn’t have the balls to stand up and fight back, well, I hear Mitt Romney is real lonely these days... I’m sure he’d LOVE a pal.

Jordan’s tough. He’ll laugh in their faces.

The dems are pushing a guy who’s same ideology gave us Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Castro, to name a few. We spent the better part of a century training our people to destroy that ideology. Now their here in our faces.

This is war. Cold war at the moment, but war nonetheless. The sooner “our” party realizes it, the better.
