On Tuesday, Jordan’s public-relations crisis became a legal nightmare. Attorneys filed a massive class-action lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Ohio against Ohio State University on behalf of an as-yet-unnamed former OSU wrestler. The law firm Sauder Schelkopf is seeking to represent all the students and athletes “treated” by Strauss in his two decades at the school, from the late ‘70s to the late ‘90s – a number they estimate will amount to “at least 1,500.”
Jordan, the jut-jawed Republican and anti-gay crusader in the House, is singled out in the suit: He’s one of only three former school officials named, including Strauss, though the action is aimed at all the coaches, administrators and others in positions of responsibility at OSU who, it claims, stood by while students and student-athletes were repeatedly “sexually abused, harassed, and molested,” and “forced” to seek treatment from a well-known predator even after they complained. (Strauss was the sole team doctor for the wrestlers; the men say they either had to choose to let injuries go untreated, as the lawsuit says some did, or subject themselves to yet another assault.)

1. Put him under the jail!

He is a vile, horrible poor excuse of a human being!

[riversedge]

2. Yes, that happened last July of 2018 but wonder what is happening with the suit??

[Scotch-Irish]

24. That's what I'd like to know as well.

How do these republicans keep getting away with all of this? It's been going on for at least 20 years, since I discovered news online.

3. Mr. Sanctimonious

Just got served!

8. repubes have some skanky republican family-values role models

as everyone can see.

9. There was a cartoon comparing Gym Jordan with Joe Paterno.

19. As well there should be...

... #GymJordan knew there were improprieties taking place between student-athletes and the team physician. Even athletes that really like and support #GymJordan say that he knew because some of them told him so.

10. As the Preacher lady would say, "Well, isn't that special?"

Jordan's problems just got a lot worse. Karma.

[JaneQPublic]

11. Not New... from Last Summer.

The date on the article:

JULY 18, 2018 10:08AM ET

[Ninga]

12. So sorry Peeps! I didn't verify the date line!

Please forgive me!

[DesertRat]

16. Please edit the OP Subject line

There's enough "fake news" out there, we don't want to contribute to it.

[The Wizard]

14. He's a particularly vile

example of Republican family values. Would anyone be surprised if he was charged criminally in this matter?

[DirtEdonE]

15. Yeah, it's always the crusaders who are the worst offenders

It's the one pointing the finger you have to watch.

jordan is just another freak hiding behind the shredded cloak of repubican sexual repression morality dogma.

Moral majority my ass. He's a teabagger. End of story.

[ZeroSomeBrains]

17. Lock him up!

Covering for sexual abuse is reprehensible as is covering for 45's high crimes and misdemeanors.

[usaf-vet]

18. Jordan is about to get a taste of what it like to defend yourself in a scandal

I'll bet he won't be the arrogant ass when he is on the witness stand testifying under oath.

He will deserve whatever he gets.

I would hope it would be a jail cell like Mr Cohen or at the very least bankrupt from all of the legal bills.

[Scurrilous]

20. K&R

[blueinredohio]

22. If this is what I think it is, I love it.

[niyad]

23. Lock the fucking complicit bastard up.

[saljr1]

25. Jordan expects the public to believe that as an assistant coach for 8 years who had his locker with

players on the team did not know that the team doctor was fondling the players. At least eight players came forward to say he knew and at least one player told him he was sexually abused by this doctor and his response was " if he did that to me I would punch him in the mouth". Come clean Jim, what a maggot, Dishonest Jim Jordan.

[YOHABLO]

26. Oh wow, Jim Jordan is a prime example of a closeted homosexual.

If he were that appalled he would have spoken out. Also, as an assistant coach having his locker in with student athletes is a dead give away.
