    I literally never heard of this dude before this week and have no idea why he’s in the news so much. All I know is he has two first names and that’s stupid.

      If you followed politics a decade ago or more you would know that this guy covered for pedophiles abusing children at a university and for some reason Republicans just still love him.

      you should pay attention more, he is a powerful politician that follows in Trumps footsteps and wants to make the US a purely Christian state

      He’s in the news so much because he’s the Republican pick for Speaker of the House except they can’t get enough votes for him.

      There’s a lot to know about him- like his sycophantic brown nosing of Trump and his involvement with January 6th, but probably most importantly, he was fully aware that a doctor assigned to a college wrestling team was sexually abusing the wrestlers and did absolutely nothing about it. Then he pressured witnesses who were testifying against the doctor and the Ohio State. Hence the nickname Gym Jordan.

          To be a card carrying Republican is to possess a non-zero amount of hatred in your heart for others. Conservatism by definition means you believe that certain people are simply “better” than others. Republicans are all ghouls. How many Republican politicians have been sex offenders?
