Hannity Lashes Out at ‘Snowflake’ Republicans Annoyed By His Aggressive Lobbying For Jim Jordan: ‘I Offer No Apologies For Doing My Job’
Fox News host Sean Hannity lashed out House Republicans who were reportedly irritated by his emails aggressively lobbying for Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) speakership campaign on Monday.
After Axios reporter Juliegrace Brufke reported that moderate House Republicans were “growing increasingly irritated” by emails from Hannity’s producers attempting to pressure them into voting for Jordan — whom Hannity has endorsed — the Fox News host asked:
Why is it a shock to certain lawmakers and members of the media mob – all of you out there – that yours truly, a member of the press, is daring to ask elected representatives, the so-called public servants in this country, if and when they plan to wrap up this speaker battle and reopen the People’s House amid growing chaos both at home and abroad?
I have a lot more to say on this later, but I do have to chuckle that a few of my questions, simple questions that I asked to some Republicans over the weekend about the importance of getting a speaker as soon as possible, showed we have a few sensitive little snowflakes in Congress.
Here’s the truth, they are the majority, they need to act like it. No deals with the Democrats and that would mean, yeah, no temporary solutions either. Elect a speaker, get the House open, and start doing your job. The good news is the anonymous votes end tomorrow and we will know and we will see which Republicans understand what is the importance of this moment in history, not only for the Republican Party, for them to unite, them to lead by reopening the People’s House while we have war in the Middle East, and war in Europe, and open borders, and serious budget deadlines.
Hannity concluded, “I offer no apologies for doing my job and seeking answers from those elected public servants. Again, keyword, servants.”
In an email sent out to several House Republicans, Hannity’s producer wrote, “Sources tell Hannity that Rep xxxx is not supporting Rep Jim Jordan for Speaker. Can you please let me know if this is accurate?”
The email continued:
And, if true, Hannity would like to know why during a war breaking out between Israel and Hamas, with the war in Ukraine, with the wide open borders, with a budget that’s unfinished why would Rep xxxx be against Rep Jim Jordan for speaker? Please let us know when Rep xxxx plans on opening The People’s House so work can be done. Lastly, are there any conditions Rep xxxx will choose to work with Democrats on the process of electing a new speaker? The deadline for comment is 11 AM ET tomorrow 10/16. Thank you.
Hannity was one of the first public figures to endorse Jordan following Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) ouster as speaker of the House.
