'Still Time To Delete This': Critics Clown Jim Jordan-Backed Account's 'Unbelievable' Post
HuffPost
Social media users slammed the House Judiciary GOP account for using "a decade old meme" in a post on the "EPSTEIN FILES."
An X account overseen by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) faced backlash Thursday after it tried rickrolling those seeking the highly-anticipated (and subsequently disappointing) release of documents tied to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The House Judiciary GOP account, representing the majority of a committee chaired by Jordan, shared a post that claimed the “EPSTEIN FILES” were released alongside a shortened URL link that read “EpsteinFilesV2.”
The link — veiled to appear as if it was tied to files that President Donald Trump’s Justice Department began sharing to conservative influencers — instead redirected X users to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” music video, the focus of a meme that’s nearly old enough to vote in elections.
The post, which can be viewed here, has since been deleted.
X users, including right-wing accounts, slammed the committee over the post as others made nods to ex-Ohio State University wrestlers’ allegations that Jordan was aware of sexual abuse complaints against a team doctor when he was a coach at the school.
The plan involves "hocus-pocus" math and potentially changing the rules of the Senate.
