FNC’s Hannity: Jim Jordan ‘Best Option’ for House Speaker
Breitbart ^ | 10/04/2023 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 10/05/2023 6:42:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Wednesday, Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity revealed he was backing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as his pick to fill the Speaker of the House void. According to Hannity, Jordan, who has served as House Judiciary Committee chairman since January, is best suited to fill the vacancy left by now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who was ousted after a motion to vacate passed the House of Representatives.

“[I]t was also — and I know this for a fact — sadly, it was also personal,” Hannity said of McCarthy’s ouster. “You know what? It’s business. It shouldn’t be personal, but now there will be a new speaker. We know that both House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, they now both are officially in. They are running to be speaker. Let me tell you where I am tonight. Make no mistake: I like Steve Scalise. I think he’s a great leader. I think he’s a really good guy. He’s a patriot.”

yes, their posting style is pretty much the same thing you see on Alt Left websites.

Another thing it might be is the Right’s version of “virtue signaling” It is basically a daily endless repetition of them saying to their peer group

See how uber Conservative and virtuous I am! I can mindless bitch about everything everywhere all of the time better then anyone else here.

Just about every nationally known Republican you can think of, is criticized as being too liberal, here on Free Republic.

Because maybe, they are?

Trump is not going to be Speaker. There are not enough votes in the US House to do it. There are 22 Republican in Biden districts who are never going to vote for Trump. They will put their political survival ahead of party loyalty just like they always do.

So, since Trump is a no go, who is your alternative choice?

I am not sure how I would need to be a time traveler to post a speech from January 2023.

Hannity is a certified moron, this definitely is a big black mark against Jordan.

But on the other hand, what are the alternative options? Scalise? A guy with cancer who was McCarthy’s assistant? No thank you.

There are no good options on this, I’m afraid. I can see why some people are trying to get Trump to do it.

Best case Trump is Speaker, President and Chief Justice.

Truer words have never been spoken. I used to like Hannity about 20 years ago. Used to listen to his radio program daily, but he got very stale and was too chummy with RINOs like Graham and McCain.

I use to be in the Jordan camp big time, but now not so much.

The House has the purse strings. If they use it, Biden can’t do anything about it.

So whomever has the purse strings controls the government? Not as long as there’s a Senate and President with the mighty pen.

Although I am not sure you are correct, I admit that I forgot that it is not the public who selects the speaker....it is the same house I referred to as run by the lunatics.

And it is never a good idea to make predictions bout crazies.

Still, there are signs that there are dims who red not happy with their party and who are slowly reaching the conclusion that Trump is right more often than the dim leaders and/or the rinos.

" Make no mistake: I like Steve Scalise. I think he’s a great leader. I think he’s a really good guy. He’s a patriot.”

Someone help someone out and reconcile this right here ^^^ with the posted title, so that someone can know what even really it was that was said...

Oh, BTW, obligatory "He does martial arts, you know."

Apparently Jordan coached young men on how to wrassle. It would be a good match!
