Jim Jordan Won't Make A Scandal Of Himself

This makes some very important points

That’s why I’ve encouraged House Democrats to invite the abuse victims Jordan abandoned (and then lied about) to the visitors’ gallery during the speaker vote—they can sit next to the police officers who were injured on January 6, 2021—to accentuate the fact that the overwhelming majority of Republicans will be knowingly voting for a bad guy. Jordan won’t be a liability to his party automatically; Democrats, using opposition tactics that fix media attention onto the controversy, have to make him one, or the press will get bored and move on.

it's not about whether the Repukes vote for Gym. It's about reminding the Press and the rest of nonMAGA America what a scumbag he is.
