Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, one of Trump's closest allies, is among Republicans' top choices for Speaker of the House. But there is no way that Jordan should be elected Speaker.
Jim Jordan is an election denier who tried to help Trump steal the 2020 election. He was involved in meetings that led up to the events on January 6th, he spoke at a "Stop the Steal" rally, he spread conspiracy theories about voting machines, and then he refused to cooperate in the January 6th Committee's investigation.
And now that Trump is finally being held accountable for trying to steal the election, Jim Jordan decided to lead an investigation into Georgia DA Fani Willis, claiming her prosecution of Trump was "politically motivated."
And then there's this:
Four of the former Ohio State University wrestlers who have accused Rep. Jim Jordan of failing to protect them from a sexual predator when he was the team's assistant coach in the 1980s and '90s said Tuesday he has no business being the next speaker of the House.
"Do you really want a guy in that job who chose not to stand up for his guys?" said former OSU wrestler Mike Schyck, one of the hundreds of former athletes and students who say they were sexually abused by school doctor Richard Strauss and have sued the university. "Is that the kind of character trait you want for a House speaker?"
For these and many other reasons, Jim Jordan can NOT be elected Speaker of the House. We can't afford to have an election denier, abuse enabler, and top Trump ally in this position of power. Sign your name to tell Congress: Jim Jordan should NOT be Speaker of the House!
