Rep. Jim Jordan Stammers And Babbles During Awkward Fox News Interview
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) suffered either a technical hiccup or a brain fart on live TV Wednesday as he spoke to Sean Hannity on Fox News.
Jordan and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) spoke with Hannity about hearings earlier in the day with FBI Director Christopher Wray, who is the latest target of right-wing rage due to the criminal case against Donald Trump.
When the conversation turned to Hunter Biden, Jordan seemed to lose all train of thought.
“That’s exactly what happened with, yuh, with the decision, the, the, uh, when it came to the uh, the decision with uh, Mr. uh,” Jordan said, then reset himself.
“I’m drew a blank there, Sean, I apologize,” Jordan offered. “I got a huge echo in my ear, I can’t even hear.”
Hannity typically plays up even the slightest verbal stumbles by President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris as a cause for national embarrassment, and did so on his show Wednesday.
But he was a lot more forgiving of Jordan.
“Sorry about that,” Hannity said.
