Most Disgusting Scumbag of Ohio

James Daniel Jordan, currently 55 years old, is one of the most disgusting people serving in the Congress of the United States today.  Somehow, he has been elected to serve at the United States Congressional Representative for the 4th District of Ohio since 2007.  His District is obviously gerrymandered, having been redrawn over time to avoid the urban areas of Toledo, Columbus, and Cleveland (and their suburbs), and to include as much rural area as possible.  A panel of three Federal judges that the District was unconstitutional due to the obvious gerrymandering, and that the Districts in Ohio needed to be re-drawn by the 2020 elections.  This decision was made and ordered in May 2019, and absolutely no work has gone into seeing the order followed so far. (It is currently believed that the re-districting will not be looked at until the results of the 2020 Federal Census are in, counted, and calculated - which means sometime in 2022.)  Prior to his political work in the US Congress, he was a 3-term Representative in the Ohio state legislature, beginning in 1994; in 2000 he ran a winning campaign for a seat in the Ohio Senate, and then won a second time, before running for a national seat of governance.
   Jim Jordan was a high school and collegiate wrestler, and failed in  his Olympic try-out. He earned a BS degree while wrestling at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He was the assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University from 1987 to 1995.  During his tenure, at least 53 members of the wrestling team that he coached were sexually assaulted by the OSU team physician. Jim Jordan has refused to cooperate in any and all investigations regarding the sexual abuse that occurred during his time as the Assistant Coach.  He has also refused to answer any questions regarding this horrendous event, and ends any interview that brings up the sexual abuse of students that in his care. He is a monster in this regard.  Young men trusted him, and he repudiated them and their trust.

   Jim Jordan earned a Master's degree in education during his years as the Assistant Wrestling Coach at Ohio State University. And, while working so diligently in the Ohio State Legislature, he also earned his Jurisprudence Degree in 2001, when a state Senator.  Jordan joined the 110th United States Congress in 2007.  Four years later, in the 112th Congress, Jordan was appointed Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, and turned down a seat on the House Appropriations Committee.
   During the 114th Congress, Jordan became one of the nine founding members of the House Freedom Caucus, a bloc of Congressional Conservatives, whose stated purpose is "to advance an agenda of limited Constitutional government" in Congress.   - No wonder he's doing his damnedest to stop the Impeachment of 45! - He was chosen as the Caucus's first Chairman.  This group is credited with pushing then-Speaker John Boehner into retirement.
    Representative Jordan is described as "being one of Congress's most conservative members."  He has earned a perfect score from the American Conservative Union every year he has served in Congress.  He is  very much in favor of the Pro Life movement and for the group "Americans for Prosperity," founded by the Koch Brothers.  He voted for: (a) continued production and upgrades to the M1 Abrams tanks that are manufactured in his district, (b) opening the Outer Continental Shelf for oil drilling, (c) Barring the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases, and (d) barring greenhouse gases from the Clean Air Act, among many other items.  He is very much against Planned Parenthood, and voted against: (a) enforcing limits on carbon dioxide emissions contributing to Global Warming, (b) tax credits for renewable electricity, (c) tax incentives for renewable energy, (d) tax incentives for energy conservation, and (e) curtailing government subsidies for oil and gas exploration, along with many other items.
   Jim Jordan is a rabid supporter of the person currently seating itself behind the desk in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, DC.  In April 2018, Anderson Cooper asked Jordan if he had ever heard Mr. Donald Trump "tell a lie", and Mr. Jordan responded, "I have not."  In April 2019, Jordan warned pharmaceutical companies not to comply with a request sent by Representative Elijah Cummings, then the Democratic Chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, about how they set the prices for the drugs they sold.  Jordan suggested in his communication with the drug-making companies that Representative Cummings would "leak cherry-picked information" in an attempt to harm the stock prices of the pharmaceutical companies.  - Talk about slander! -

Former Ohio Representative Capri Cafar said that Jordan "... is someone who has built a reputation as an attack dog...."   In my opinion, this attack dog needs to be given a rabies shot, muzzled, and placed in a fenced-in run with a dog house.
   In a Politico article published 29 October 2017, former House Speaker John Boehner called Jordan "an asshole."  Stating that "Jordan was a terrorist as a legislator going back to his days in the Ohio house and senate."  -  I also endorse the asshole label.

     Jim Jordan is a sorry excuse for anything that is alive on this planet we call Earth.  Invective words fail me when I think of him and the orange faced monstrosity that sits in the White House.
     Jim Jordan may be an attack dog - but that dog needs to be euthanized, and put out of our misery!
