Here’s a challenge to wingnuts: Come up with names of wingnuts who can be considered: Admirable, honest, honorable, intelligent, ethical, have integrity, benevolent, inspiring, noble, any redeeming qualities. Zero.

'Despicable': Jim Jordan Called Out Over Outrageous Take On Child Rape Case

.... President Joe Biden mentioned the disturbing case last week as he signed an executive order protecting abortion access, which led to a frenzy as right-wing media claimed the incident never happened.

“Another lie. Anyone surprised?” Jordan wrote with a link to a story casting doubt on the rape report.

The horrific case was confirmed Wednesday.

Jordan did not offer a correction but instead tweeted a link to a story confirming the case and called for the accused rapist to be prosecuted.

WATCH: CNN’s Manu Raju Confronts Jim Jordan Over Deleted Tweet Calling Story About 10-Year-Old Rape Victim a ‘Lie’

…. “So, not apologizing for the tweet, not apologizing to the family, not regretting the tweet, but just claiming it was misinterpreted about what he meant, saying he didn’t mean to question the girl, but criticizing the undocumented immigrant who is alleged to have perpetrated this heinous crime,” Raju said.

Raju went on to accuse Jordan of “trying to split hairs a bit here.”

“And then a quick and a quick pivot to try to make it about illegal immigration. We’ve seen this script once or twice before,” King observed.
