Jim Jordan is the worst.” QT of David Pepper “Remember: Jordan tried to gaslight the 10-year old OH rape victim forced to go to Indiana to get an abortion. He called it a lie, then it turned out to be 100% true. Then he refused to apologize. That’s the kind of person we’re talking about:”

• 1.21k engagements Fifty Shades of Whey “I checked this person’s feed and I saw they’re a Republican from Ohio so let me get petty by reminding you all that Republican politicians in Ohio are anti-union and habitually side with corporations over people. Republican politicians in Ohio have given numerous tax cuts to the state’s wealthiest residents, which destroyed the state’s potential. Republican politicians in Ohio have rolled back environmental regulations, which has led to incalculable health risks causing long-term damage to innocent people. Republican politicians in Ohio have resisted expanding healthcare access just so private insurance oligarchs can rob us, which further raises the state’s mortality rate. I haven’t even gotten to abortion restrictions, police brutality, and LGBTQ+ rights. This person openly supports fascism while heckling me under a tweet where I’m literally talking about them.”
