Jesus would condemn fake Christians. Could Jim Jordan please stop?

Jesus would condemn fake Christians

Re "How can the hate of Trump advance the cause of Christ?" March 2: Dispatch letter writer Linda Middleton asks, of Donald Trump and his acolytes, "When Christians, who are supposed to be the face of Jesus, support this hate and his lies, what kind of Christianity do people see?"

That's easy, it's a fake, distorted and wholly false right-wing version of Christianity. Jesus himself condemned in strong words the "vipers, blind guides, etc." of his day. That's what these people really are, not Christians.

Jim Jordan should stop embarrassing Ohio

Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) before President Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address to Congress at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on March 7, 2024.

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan of Ohio has been striving mightily to gin up some evidence, any evidence of wrongdoing on President Joe Biden’s part.

But, so far, he’s come up with nothing.

Even the anti-Biden crowd on Fox News says that there’s no evidence against President Biden.

Now it appears that his case has fallen apart utterly. It turns out that Jordan’s star witness, who he referred to as a “highly credible source," is a Russian agent who admitted that he’s lied to the FBI about the Bidens.

Once again, Republicans have shown themselves willing to traffic in lies and disinformation to hurt President Biden.

Worse yet, it appears that, once again, Republicans are working with Russian agents to manipulate our elections. Perhaps this warrants its own investigation into whether or not Jordan knew that Smirnov was a Russian agent at the time he was being lied to.

Ohioans are tired of having Jordan embarrass our great state with his manic loathing of the Bidens.
