Ohio, you know what to do

He's up for reeelction in November.

A man testified at an Ohio statehouse hearing Tuesday that Rep. Jim Jordan had called him and asked him to contradict the accounts of his own brother, a whistleblower and alleged victim of sexual abuse by an Ohio State University doctor.

Adam DiSabato's brother Mike said in 2018 that he was sexually abused by OSU doctor Richard Strauss while he was a wrestler there between 1987 and 1991, and that his assistant coach at the time, Jordan, an Ohio Republican, knew about the abuse, which Jordan has denied. Adam DiSabato was also a wrestler at OSU.

"Jim Jordan called me crying, crying. Groveling. On the 4th of July, begging me to go against my brother. Begging me. Crying for a half hour. That's the kind of cover-ups that's going on there," Adam DiSabato testified on Tuesday.

Adam DiSabato also testified that while he was a captain on the university's wrestling team, he reported the abuse to Jordan and others. "They did nothing. They told me they went to their superiors (who) told them to be happy where we're at and keep our mouth shut," DiSabato testified.

DiSabato says Jordan called him "several times."

"I had to have my lawyer call him, telling him to stop calling me," Adam DiSabato said, adding later: "He's thrown us under the bus, all of us. He's a coward. He's a coward. He's not a leader. He's a coward."
