• 10.5k engagements – Popular Liberal (account looks sketchy, AI generated profile picture) “GOOD MORNIG FRIENDS: Please keep in mind: Jordan attempted to manipulate the 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio, who was compelled to travel to Indiana for an abortion procedure, through gaslighting techniques. Initially, he dismissed her account as false, only to later discover that it was entirely accurate. Subsequently, he displayed an unwillingness to offer an apology. This individual exemplifies the type of character under discussion.”

And he says that Ohioans trying to END that policy are going too far! Yes on 1!”
