The lawmaker needs to grapple publicly with what he and others might have done differently about the sexual abuse scandal at Ohio State.
published over the weekend, two of my Washington Post colleagues, Sally Jenkins and David Maraniss, dedicated thousands of words to trying to understand Rep. Jim Jordan — including investigating the answer to a question that has trailed the lawmaker for years.
It’s a story about something Jim Jordan, for all his apparent grit and determination, seems too scared to wrestle with. Put aside Jordan for a moment. Were those laughing, whistling teammates callous, reprehensible individuals? Of course not. One imagines that they were coping as best they could in a bewildering situation in which they might be physically stronger, but their abuser was armed with a medical degree and a university appointment.
To me, the particulars of what Jordan might have known then are, by now, impossible to resolve. Decades have passed. He’s sticking to his word, and he has not been named in any lawsuits.
