Watch: Republican Jim Jordan gets called out at House hearing for claiming rape of Ohio girl was a lie

Raw Story  

Rep. Ted Lieu called out a Republican colleague, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, during a House hearing regarding abortion rights in the United States. “You’re going to hear a lot of words from my Republican colleagues,” Lieu said Thursday at the House Judiciary committee hearing. They said she was lying.” “In fact, at least one Republican member of this committee publicly tweeted that she lied, and then quietly deleted that tweet when -- guess what – her perpetrator was arrested,” Lieu continued. Jordan wrote on Twitter, citing a news article about Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office casting doubt on the story.
