Threats fly as Jim Jordan's bid to be US House Speaker turns ugly
Carlos Gimenez, a Florida Republican, told NBC News he had brought up the matter directly with Mr Jordan, saying: "I don't really take well to threats."
"He told me that he wasn't behind it, and he's asked people to stop, but if you've asked people to stop it why aren't they listening to you?" Mr Gimenez said.
Jordan is unfit to hold office of any sort.
@nursefrombirth And if you've asked people to stop and they won't THIS PROVES YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN CHARGE
@nursefrombirth we ain't gonna take it, never did and never will.
