U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, the see-no-evil, hear-no-evil former assistant wrestling coach, has once again chosen the dark side by failing to cooperate with the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
He is following the path he blazed when he emphatically denied knowledge of the late Dr. Richard Strauss’ sexual abuse of hundreds of students at Ohio State, despite accusations by numerous athletes who claimed Jordan must have known about but turned a blind eye to the perversion. Jordan claims the Select Committee isn’t conducting a “fair-minded and objective inquiry” into the insurrection.
The congressman who forwarded messages to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows detailing what USA Today reports were “obscure legal theories proposing that former Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election” has little ground on which to stand when it comes to objectivity. He’s been silent about Republican efforts to whitewash the attempted coup as being carried out by “patriots,” although that characterization is far from the truth.
