GOP Rep. Jim Jordan deletes tweet calling the story of a 10-year-old girl being raped 'another lie' after Ohio authorities charged a man in the case

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan deleted a tweet on Wednesday in which he called the story of a 10-year-old Ohio girl receiving an abortion after being raped "another lie" following the arrest of a man in connection with the case.

"Another lie. Anyone surprised?" Jordan, an Ohio Republican, wrote on Twitter in a message on his official account that quoted a story about Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office initially saying it had not found any evidence to support the rape charge.

The case received national attention and President Joe Biden mentioned it during a major speech about abortion policy in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

While some news outlets initially had difficulty confirming the story, Yost, Jordan, and a host of conservative commentators questioned the account — some even claimed that it was simply made up.

This from the man that was accused of covering up the abuse of young men when he was a wrestling coach at Ohio State.

George Clooney is coming out with the documentary. Wow this and J6? Gym must be terrified.

[Blue Owl]

1. It's time for Gymbag's dirty laundry to be aired

At a safe distance, of course...

[11 Bravo]

2. Gym has a real blind spot when it comes to sexual abuse.

[enough]

3. Another lie by another 10 year old girl. He has no idea how much he said about himself.

[irisblue]

4. Rep Salwell & the Twitter addy of the Dem, Tamie Wilson who is running against Jordan

16. 💯

[CrispyQ]

48. Man, Eric's on a roll! -nt

[walkingman]

5. Jordon is in a race for "nastiest SOB" in the GOP - it has a lot of eligible candidates

[SoCalDavidS]

6. Gym Is Not Terrified

He KNOWS that he's above the law, and that his Shithead constituents will continue voting for him. They LOVE Shit like this.

If anybody wanted to stop him, there would be Consequences. But there are none, and never will be any.

[Hugin]

7. I would certainly hope the rape of a 10 year old minor would be difficult for the MSM to verify...

being a private and protected legal matter.

But, in this political climate in the US and with the decisions coming down from the SCrOTUS. I don't suppose victim's rights amount to much.

Jordan should be widely panned for his unconscionable borderline criminal tweet.

Again, this is why we can't have anything nice.

[niyad]

53. Thank you. A most excellent point.

[madaboutharry]

8. Jim Jordan isn't enough of a man to admit he was wrong.

He isn’t enough of a person to apologize.

He’s just a loathsome slug.

[captain queeg]

9. Oh goody. Can't wait for Cloonys documentary

Jordan, Gaetz, MTG, Boebert and others need to be removed. When you get TFG as president it attracts other vermin.

[Haggard Celine]

10. Because we all know little 10 year-old girls are always

making up rape allegations so they can rush off to the abortion clinic. What a loathsome, disgusting, evil piece of shit!

[MyOwnPeace]

11. Haggard, your summation skills are truly sublime......

or, as others might say: "You got THAT right!"

[Haggard Celine]

12. Thanks!

[MerryBlooms]

15. I saw someone here on DU calling bs on this story,

Patting themselves on the back for calling it out. I searched for their posts and can't find them now, but remember the moniker. Looked for them in the OP about rapist being arrested, not a peep from them on any updated OPs.

Seriously, it's one thing to play Devil's Advocate when it comes to all the mass shootings and 2A arguments, but No One should be playing Devil's Advocate when it comes to a 10 y/o little girl, who's been raped and impregnated.

[Haggard Celine]

19. I agree.

The girl is 10. She couldn't give consent to any sex acts; not everything can be nuanced.

[TomSlick]

32. YES!

If a ten year-old girl is pregnant she was, by definition, raped.

[sheshe2]

24. Sadly we have our trolls.

[Hekate]

29. I wonder if it's someone I have on ignore already

ugh

[skylucy]

13. What an asshole Jordan is.

[Sneederbunk]

14. Soon to be a defense witness for the man arrested.

[brer cat]

17. I hope George Clooney nails the a-hole.

[sheshe2]

22. Me too.

Clooney may well do that.

[orleans]

42. i was hoping this would be wrapping up and out before midterms

(they've talked about it since feb 2021)
but this article says "production has begun" which implies that it recently got underway

doubt it will make it for midterms

https://www.wvxu.org/media/2022-06-08/george-clooney-documentary-hbo-ohio-state-sex-abuse-scandal

[SergeStorms]

46. Not a chance.

I wish they would have started sooner, but it is what it is, when it is. It'll be in editing for months alone. I wouldn't expect it before late spring, early summer 2023.

[orleans]

47. yeah. that's too bad. (i seriously mean that) nt

[SergeStorms]

50. I'd love the people of his district....

to see this before the mid-terms. It might even shame a few of them to vote for his opponent.

You gotta' have a dream, right?

[RussBLib]

18. there's more red meat in there

the perp is an undocumented immigrant. Now that there is an arrest, I'm sure they will change their outrage towards the undocumented. Now the girl will become an innocent victim.

I detest the GOP.

[sakabatou]

20. Once again, Gym Jordan outs himself as a despicable being.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. Note these Republican extremists have deflected the discussion

It's now about the extremists' lies and the rapist, instead of the evil law that would force a 10 year old to carry a pregnancy to term or death, whichever came first.

[uponit7771]

23. K&R,

[TeamProg]

25. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

[Bosshog1]

26. RAPE

Is there any other way a ten year old could become pregnant?

[Skittles]

28. repukes want to keep drag queens and certain books away from that child

but they are A-OK with forcing her to give birth to a rapist's baby

their cruelty is ENDLESS

[Bosshog1]

31. Hi Skittles

I’ve been away for 12 Years. Thought I’d reboot. You have remained wonderful through all these years.

[Skittles]

36. glad to see you back Bosshog

we Dems need all the help we can get these days!

[niyad]

54. Welcome back.

[Skittles]

27. this is what happens when your source is a rightwing Murdoch rag

fuck these fascist assholes

[Martin68]

30. Trumpists are stupid, ignorant, and heartless.

The Trifecta!

[Marthe48]

33. A 10 year old getting pregnant is rape

That's all.

[Traildogbob]

34. I swear I hope

Liz has her claws sharpened as much for Gym as she does for trump. She knows something about him as per her shout at him on J6. “You did this”!

[sheshe2]

37. I believe she does.

She has the receipts.

She will lose her seat over this and I dislike all R's. yet the ones she is running against are full fledged trumpers.

[Traildogbob]

43. I hear ya

The ones that ran against and the winner that beat Cawthorn here are sick trump cultist. We’ve gained nothing ridding his ass unless the Dem takes the seat in November. Notice how silent he has been. Big bad GQP controllers can shut you down if you diss them. Don’t think they will shut Liz up.

[sheshe2]

49. Liz is doing her thing and I appreciate she had the vagina to do it.

I don't think she will ever win another race. She knew tis.

Goddess, make the tfg cults go quickly into the night.

[AZLD4Candidate]

35. Jordan can have the best of both worlds.

He can call the rape a lie and attack abortion and Joe Biden.

Now that an "illegal immigrant" was arrested, he can attack immigration and Joe Biden.

[sheshe2]

39. He is going down.

One way or another, J6 or Clooney's documentary.

He will not fair well with his with his denial of rape comments.

[AZLD4Candidate]

41. Of course he knew. He just didn't care. Sociopaths only care about themselves.

[dchill]

38. "...another lie." Should be Jim Jordan's epitaph.

Traitor.

[PAMod]

40. These people are awful. eom

[Mblaze]

44. Jordan is such a coward

He has to cover it up with rolled-up-sleeve bluster and volume.

[ShazzieB]

45. What a jerk. And the Ohio AG isn't any better. 😡

My instructions for both of them are as follows:

[riversedge]

51. @RepSwalwell Why did Jim Jordan just delete this tweet? He would never try and cover up a sexual as

oh my!





@RepSwalwell

Why did Jim Jordan just delete this tweet? He would never try and cover up a sexual assault, would he?

Reminder: call this MAGA crap out. They lie and they lie until you call them out. Then they scatter like rats.

52. Gym Jordan comes out from hiding from the Jan 6 committee

and posts a gotcha message about Joe Biden and quickly deletes his lie and goes back into hiding. Judgement Day is coming Gym!
