My (second unfortunate) ex-wife texted response to the Ohio wrestler’s loss of Bout Tyoo:
“Hmmmmm. What’s Jordan up to? How do you get 22 votes???”
My answer tonight,
“What’s Jordan up to?”
Miller-Meeks, a Republican who represents the 1st Congressional District in southeast Iowa, supported Jordan in the first round of votes on Tuesday but cast her vote Wednesday for U.S. Rep. Kay Granger of Texas, a Republican who chairs the Appropriations Committee.
“Since my vote in support of Chairwoman Granger, I have received credible death threats and a barrage of threatening calls," Miller-Meeks said in a statement Wednesday evening. "The proper authorities have been notified and my office is cooperating fully."
Miller-Meeks said she voted for Jordan on Tuesday "for the greater good of the House Republican Party."
"However, after one round of votes, with my support, he was not able to secure enough votes for the speaker nomination, and my initial concerns about threatening tactics of Jim Jordan’s supporters, including from members of Congress, increased despite assurances," Miller-Meeks said in the statement.
