Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell of California lambasted Representative Jim Jordan on social media after the Ohio Republican, who once tried to mock mask-wearing mandates, made an anti-vax comment on Twitter.

The staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump and relentless critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci—America's leading infectious disease expert and Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden—tweeted:


"Ohio should ban all vaccine mandates."


Swalwell, however, dragged the GOP Representative by bringing up Jordan's own controversial past.

"Ohio should mandate sexual assault reporting for coaches."


Swalwell was referring to the Ohio State University sexual misconduct scandal where Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach with the university's wrestling program from 1987 to 1995.

In June 2018, Jordan was accused of being aware of and ignoring allegations of sexual misconduct by the team's former physician, Richard Strauss, who was working during Jordan's tenure as an assistant coach.

Jordan dismissed the students' claims and described Strauss's accusers as "pawns in a political plot."

But several students came forward and claimed Jordan took part in locker-room discussions pertaining to Strauss's abusive behavior.

People were here for Swalwell's acerbic wit aimed at the founding member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.






Twitter had thoughts of their own in response to Jordan's questionable health priorities.







In April, Jordan was raked across the coals online when he asked, "How many masks are we supposed to wear this week?" after he had been whining and politicizing pandemic health and safety guidelines.

He also demanded to know when Americans would get their "liberty and freedoms back."

Dr. Fauci responded by expressing he did not view this as a "liberty thing" but more as a "public health thing" and that the suggested safety measures were not his personal recommendation.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
