Hardline conservative Jim Jordan pressed ahead with his floundering bid for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, after his fellow Republicans abandoned a backup plan to allow the leaderless chamber to resume business.
And this just hours after agreeing to back McHenry. Spectacular!
Jim Jordan is looking to follow in the footsteps of House Speaker Denny Hastert, as a fellow former high school wrestling coach from Ohio with a sordid past involving sexual abuse of children.
If I had a nickel for every Republican Speaker/Speaker candidate who was involved in a wrestling sexual assault scandal, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
