Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, shared a Facebook post Monday claiming that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was being falsely accused of lying about his knowledge of rampant sexual assault while coaching wrestling at Ohio State University.

“Jim Jordan is under attack, with false accusations, because he threatens the elite,” she wrote on the post with the video below.

Jordan has now been accused by seven former Ohio State University wrestlers of lying about his ignorance of the sexual abuse many players suffered at the hands of team doctor Richard Strauss.

The university has opened an investigation into the now-deceased Strauss’ conduct and ethics experts are calling on the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate Jordan’s claims of ignorance.

  1. Deplorables believe the darnedest things.

    Drain the fever swamp.

  2. Those liberal types are amazing. Imagine: They got no fewer than 7 former OSU wrestlers to come forward with false allegations. I mean, it would be quite an achievement if they could get 7 former fencers from some effete Ivy League school to do that–but 7 guys from OSU!

    It’s no wonder that those liberals dominate the country’s government!

    OK, we’ve now heard the alternate universe hypothesis.

  4. I think he’s “under attack” for protecting or turning a blind eye to a serial sexual abuser.

    And, who are the “elites” he’s threatening? Rosenstein? Mueller? Or, are former college wrestlers the new elites?
