Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) replied:
Ohio should mandate sexual assault reporting for coaches. https://t.co/aEu6JKAL9m

Swalwell was referring to Jordan’s time as assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University, where he was accused of ignoring molestation claims against the team’s doctor. Although Jordan denied those charges, several athletes have corroborated the story.
Other Jordan critics chimed in with their thoughts on his anti-vax message:
List of Ohio mandated vaccines that Rep Jordan never once objected to & 100% submitted to prior to COVID vaccine:
•Diphtheria
•Tetanus
•Pertussis
•Polio
•Measles
•Mumps
•Rubella
•Hepatitis B
•Chicken Pox
•Meningococcal

Dear @Jim_Jordan: Do you think the smallpox vaccine mandate or the polio vaccine mandate for schools should be eliminated first?
Or perhaps the whooping cough vaccine mandate? My cousin’s friend says that is overrated. Ohio can be the whooping cough capital of the world. https://t.co/46TEvQLb2p— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) October 13, 2021
Polio? Measles? Where do you want to start? #crazytown

As a restaurant owner and host, I am responsible for the well-being of my patrons and staff. We work together to strengthen our environment to get through this pandemic, and that includes being vaxxed. It is my RIGHT to set my own rules within my business.

Jim Jordan should be spending the rest of his life trying to protect children in an attempt to make up for his past sins.
Instead he’s spending it endangering people with misinformation.— Chris Hahn (@ChristopherHahn) October 13, 2021

Today would be a good day for Jim Jordan to confess what Trump told him on January 6th.
