Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has been vehemently opposed to safety precautions and any form of shutdowns, even if doing so would have lives and help control the deadly virus, which has already claimed the lives of over 577,000 Americans.
So it probably shouldn’t come as any surprise that Jordan is harping on making sure schools in the Buckeye State are opened for the academic year, which has already begun in many states.
But four tweets Jordan posted over the past few weeks are downright lies, as his Democratic opponent in the 2022 midterm, Jeff Sites, made sure and pointed out on Monday:
Ohio schools have been open since March, but Jordan is still firing off angry tweets about opening schools? Granted, Jordan isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but a quick Google search would have told him that Ohio students are back in class.
As Sites noted, it certainly seems that Jordan is more interested in getting headlines and airtime on Fox News than actually taking a moment to get to the truth. For Jim Jordan (like so many Republicans), facts are always secondary to propaganda.
Internet karma quickly caught up with Congressman Jordan:
If you’re as sick of Gym Jordan as many of his constituents are, be sure and go to Jeff Sites’ campaign website — sitesforcongress.com — and contribute what you can. The time has come to get rid of liars and frauds like Jordan.
