Jim Jordan to headline Dave Brat event amid Ohio State allegations

Richmond, VA – Republican Congressman Dave Brat (VA-07), announced this week that Freedom Caucus founder and his personal "mentor" Congressman Jim Jordan will headline a fundraiser for him in his ever-more-challenging re-election effort.

Jim Jordan? The Jim Jordan accused of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse?

Yes, that Jim Jordan.

Dave Brat is proudly trotting out Jim Jordan, who is embroiled in accusations that he took part in covering up the sexual abuse of at least eight wrestlers by a former team physician during his tenure as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University.

Brat’s excitement to campaign with Congressman Jordan should come as no surprise. Just last month, Dave Brat and the extremist House Freedom Caucus, voted unanimously in support of Jordan amid the disturbing and shameful accusations he faces.

Dave Brat, so far to the right and so far out of touch. VA-07 voters deserve a change.
