Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan (R) decided to weigh in on the public discourse as confirmation hearings were getting underway for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.
"Don't forget what Democrats did to Brett Kavanaugh," he wrote.

Many of the responses to Jordan's tweet reminded the GOP congressman that his own memory isn't unassailable, specifically that his story seems constantly to be changing about how many times he spoke with former President Donald Trump on the day of the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
"JimBro can’t remember how many times he spoke with the President during an insurrection, but can somehow remember every moment from a multi day confirmation hearing," one Twitter user remarked.

We won't forget you lied about your phone calls w/Trump on Jan. 6th when MAGA terrorists assaulted Capitol.\nWe won't forget you voted to decertify Electoral Votes to overturn 2020 election.\nWe won't forget you voted twice to acquit Trump of abuse of office & contempt of Congress.https://twitter.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1505920474349543432\u00a0\u2026— Charles Campisi (@Charles Campisi) 1647897283
But most of the reactions to Jordan's tweet referenced his time at Ohio State University, where he served as assistant wrestling coach and was later accused of ignoring molestation claims about the team’s doctor. Jordan has denied those charges, but several athletes have come forward to corroborate the story.

Was he molested by the team doctor and they ignored it?https://twitter.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1505920474349543432\u00a0\u2026— Lin (@Lin) 1647947142
We won\u2019t ever forget what Gym Jordan DIDN\u2019T do at OSU. As a result, a sexual predator continued to abuse the athletes that called you \u201cCoach\u201d, you disgusting little gerrymandered troll.https://twitter.com/jim_jordan/status/1505920474349543432\u00a0\u2026— Gerald Hampton (@Gerald Hampton) 1647903051
