Something downright bizarre happened during Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) appearance on the Fox show “Hannity” Wednesday evening, and it left many wondering if the congressman had lost what’s left of his mind.
Jordan, along with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), were appearing on Sean Hannity’s show to discuss House hearings earlier in the day that featured FBI Director Christopher Wray.
When the subject turned to Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, Hannity asked Jordan, “Let me ask you about another line, Jim Jordan, that the FBI director used today – that the FBI does not moderate content.”
As Mediaite notes, that’s a reference to a lawsuit brought by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey:
Last week, a judge ruled in Missouri’s favor and issued a temporary injunction prohibiting federal agencies from contacting social media companies “for the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”
Hannity continued:
“What did we learn in the Missouri case in terms of Yoel Roth – former integrity site head – who told us in those weekly meetings with big tech, in this case, Twitter but other big tech weekly as well, that the misinformation, you have to be on the lookout for, maybe about Hunter Biden. Didn’t he say that?”
That’s when Jordan had a brain fart on live TV.
“Yeah, a federal judge disagreed with what Christopher Wray testified to today and he did that decision on July 4th – just eight days ago for goodness sake.
“That’s exactly what happened with, yeah, with the decision, the, uh, when it came to the uh, the, the decision with, um, Mr. uh, I drew a blank there, Sean. I apologize. I got a huge echo in my ear and I can’t, I can’t even hear.”
Twitter users couldn’t resist mocking the Ohio Republican.
