Nathan Wade's lawyer told the House judiciary chairman that he is like a skunk who complains about a possum's smell.

Fani Willis’ lawyer has told House Judiciary Committee chairman, Jim Jordan, to calm down and take an anger management class.

The letter also suggests that Jordan, a Republican and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, was as hypocritical as a skunk who tells a possum that his breath stinks.

Willis is prosecuting Trump on felony charges of attempting to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to President Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has repeatedly said the case is part of a political witch hunt to derail his bid for the White House next month.

    Anger management, therefore, is treating symptoms and not the cause. Instead he probably needs anxiety meds.

    This is a broad, over-general statement. Not everyone experiencing anger control issues is suffering from the same experiences that you did. I’m happy that you were able to come to terms with your own problems, but dismissing anger management classes as “treating symptoms and not the cause” is not fair. Some people do benefit from them even if you didn’t.

      I just strongly suspect that anger management issues are a common misdiagnosis of anxiety and panic, not just based on experience, but based on the way gender norms obscure and distort men’s feelings. It doesn’t help that men also tend to avoid getting help, due to those same gender norms.

        I don’t disagree and I’ve seen it many times, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something else. He seems indignant at people challenging him
