Gym Jim Jordan ranked 202 out of 205 useless House Republicans

#GymJimJordan is stupid and a political disgrace!
Opinion echo letter published in the Sandusky Register, in Ohio.

Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan tried to bully (!) 80-year-old Dr. Anthony Fauci at a Congressional House subcommittee hearing about the government’s response to the COVID pandemic. 

Gym-Jim Jordan’s style is ferocious, non-stop harassment of those he is questioning. He is seemingly using the old doctor as his personal punching bag for his distaste of the pandemic restrictions this past year (masks, social distancing, gatherings, etc.).

Jordan relentlessly demanded that the respected Dr. Fauci provide a date and time when restrictions could be lifted. It reminded me of a spoiled brat who can’t play outside because it is raining, and the boy screams at his mother, “when will it stop, when will it stop” until he is told to shut up. That is exactly what happened to Jordan today when Rep. Maxine Waters told him the same, “shut up Mr. Jordan.”

A recent study done by academics at the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University rated the effectiveness of our lawmakers in Washington. Their study looked at the past two years with regard to bills sponsored, bills advanced through legislation, and bills passed into law for elected officials. Jim Jordan was ranked 202 out of 205 House Republicans.

Watching Jim Jordan rail on one person after another shows me that he is not making many alliances outside his inner circle. This would impede any successful policy negotiating with others. Quite frankly, it is embarrassing to have such an antagonist representing our great state.
