Jim Jordan Says Claims by 8 Former Wrestlers That He Ignored Sexual Abuse are ‘Ridiculous’ – WATCH

Andy Towle July 11, 2018 Leave a Comment

Following allegations from an eighth former Ohio State wrestler that then coach Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) willfully ignored sexual abuse by the team’s doctor, Jordan defended himself in an interview with reporters on Wednesday morning.

Said Jordan: “I’m telling the truth. Look, I stood up to the Speaker of the House from my home state, stood up the IRS and have stood up to the FBI. To think that I would not stand up for my athletes is ridiculous.”

Politico reported on Tuesday: “The Ohio Republican’s allies — from lawmakers on Capitol Hill to former wrestlers at Ohio State University — have released statements of support or gone on TV defending Jordan’s character. He has also hired a conservative-leaning public relations firm to help him deal with the media furor, Shirley & Banister Public Affairs. The group launched a new website Monday: StandWithJimJordan.com.”
