CBS News Anchor's Reaction To GOP Rep.'s Take On Jim Jordan Says It All

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Maybe “Face the Nation” should be called “Face Margaret Brennan’s Face.” (Watch the video below.)

The CBS News anchor on Sunday had quite the “WTF” look after Rep. Mike Turner falsely claimed there were no allegations that House speaker nominee and fellow Ohio Republican Jim Jordan ignored sexual assault claims at Ohio State University as an assistant wrestling coach.

“So do the allegations that he turned a blind eye to sexual assault at Ohio [State] University cause any problems for you or the allegations that he had knowledge of Donald Trump’s attempts on Jan. 6 and leading up to it to stop the election certification?” Brennan asked Turner as House Republicans continue to struggle with delays and division.

“Well first Margaret, the allegations at Ohio State, there’s not one person who’s ever said that they have knowledge of Jim Jordan having any knowledge,” Turner said. “And what occurred at Ohio State wasn’t even under Jim Jordan. He was not the head coach. This was not something that he had responsibility for. So those that are making accusations are making, you know, just presumptions of ‘Well, he would have had to have known.’ There’s no one ― mind you, this was years ago ― no one who has come forward at all ever, and ever said that there was actual knowledge on Jim Jordan’s part. And of course, he condemns what occurred there.”

Six former wrestlers say Rep. Jim Jordan knew about abusive OSU doctor

Tito Vazquez says he still remembers the day three decades ago when, as a wrestler at Ohio State University, the doctor he’d gone to see about a bloody nose insisted on examining his genitals. He also recalls how one of his coaches dismissed his immediate complaint.

“‘I have nothing to do with this,’” Vazquez quoted the assistant coach saying, as he effectively ended the conversation and went on with wrestling practice.

That coach, Vazquez says, was Jim Jordan, now an Ohio congressman and an influential voice in Republican politics, perhaps best known for his pugnacious defense of President Donald Trump during the recent impeachment proceedings.

Vazquez is one of six former OSU wrestlers who told CNN in recent interviews that they were present when Jordan heard or responded to sexual misconduct complaints about team doctor Richard Strauss. Eight others say Strauss’ inappropriate behavior was an open secret in the athletic department and that Jordan, among others, must have known about it.

Rep. Jim Jordan, the powerful Republican congressman from Ohio, is being accused by former wrestlers he coached more than two decades ago at Ohio State University of failing to stop the team doctor from molesting them and other students.

Three former wrestlers told NBC News that it was common knowledge that Strauss showered regularly with the students and inappropriately touched them during appointments, and said it would have been impossible for Jordan to be unaware; one wrestler said he told Jordan directly about the abuse.
