Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday endorsed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to be the next Speaker of the House on live television, as support for the conservative outsider builds following the retirement announcement of current Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), appearing on Hannity’s show on Tuesday night, said his colleague could properly oversee the Justice Department’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and any possible coordination with the Trump campaign.
“That’s why Jim Jordan should be Speaker of the House, then we’d have real oversight,” Gaetz said after his Ohio colleague decried the alleged use of an FBI informant to gather information from Trump campaign associates.
“Checkmate — I’m not gonna argue,” said Hannity, a staunch Trump supporter. “For the record, I’m supporting Jim Jordan. I just endorsed him.”
