Ex-GOP Steve Schmidt Shames His Former Party For Covering Up For ‘Pathologically Dishonest’ Jim Jordan
Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, who quit the party earlier this year to become a Democrats, shamed his former party for standing behind Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) after multiple students accused him of allowing sexual harassment.
Earlier this month, multiple students from Ohio State University’s wrestling team accused Jordan of looking the other way when the team’s physician was sexually abusing the team members.
In response, GOP leadership has stood up against the accusations to defend Jordan. This prompted Schmidt to criticize his former party’s members.
“Jordan has zero credibility,” he tweeted. “That is his problem. He is a pathologically dishonest conspiracy theorist whose irresponsibility has been on display for many years. He is unfaithful to his oath of office and nobody should be shocked if he was the same to his team.”

Then Schmidt switched his focus to the GOP for defending Jordan.
Reading the character testimonials about Jordan from McCarthy and Scalia is enough to make one vomit. It speaks to the utter corruption of the GOP majority. I wonder what will unravel faster, Jordan’s lies ? Or their disingenuous statements of belief. TICK TOCK goes the clock . https://t.co/7AGZtQqH5Y

The lives of many young men were profoundly devastated by the sexual abuse they were subjected to in the Ohio State wresting program. Jim Jordan’s lies and cowardice are another form of abuse against the victims. Looking forward to seeing his smirk get wiped off his face.
