The United States House of Reprehensibles

The House of Representatives is expected to vote tomorrow on whether Jim Jordan will be speaker. Look, it’s not like Republicans are going to nominate somebody good for the position. But Jim Jordan is egregiously bad. Just a few lowlights of his time so far in Congress: - In 2015, Jim Jordan co-founded the House Freedom Caucus, a far-right extremist bloc that thought congressional Republicans needed to be even more obstructionist, reactionary, and fascistic than they already were throughout the Obama presidency. - Jim Jordan co-sponsored a resolution for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. - Last year, Jim Jordan called it “another lie” when reports emerged that a 10-year-old girl from Ohio (the state Jordan represents) had to travel to Indiana for a legal abortion after she was raped. A suspect was arrested and confessed to raping the girt twice, and police verified that the girl had traveled to Indiana for an abortion. - Jim Jordan is MAGA through and through. He has operated as one of Donald Trump’s most sycophantic acolytes in Congress — including adoption and promotion of the Big Lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from Trump. Jim Jordan should not be given the speaker’s gavel unless the only thing he’s going to do with it is knock himself unconscious.
