EPIC: Jim Jordan Gets Standing Ovation from GOP Colleagues as He Votes for Himself for Speaker of The House (VIDEO)

Rep. Jim Jordan received a standing ovation on the House Floor from his fellow Republicans when casting his vote for himself to be the next Speaker of The House.

This was an epic moment of unity for a majority of House GOP members. A small group of defiant establishment RINOs will likely stonewall Jordan’s election for Speaker. They are “hoping conservatives will move backward to Kevin McCarthy,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz in a recent interview.

In fact, As The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Don Bacon lashed out at the Republican lawmakers who ousted another RINO, Kevin McCarthy. Bacon then actually voted for McCarthy today on the floor. What a nut!

His voters aren’t going to forget this.

Bacon and twelve other so-called Representatives of the people refused to vote for Jordan, causing a predicted loss on the first ballot, The Gateway Pundit reported.

Here is a list of the turncoats:

1. Don Bacon of Nebraska
2. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon
3. Anthony D’Esposito of New York
4. Mario Diaz Balart of Florida
5. Jake Ellzey of Texas
6. Andrew Garbarino of New York
7. Carlos Gimenez of Florida
8. Tony Gonzales of Texas
9. Kay Granger of Texas
10. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania
11. Jen Kiggans of Virginia
12. Nick LaLota of New York
13. Mike Lawler of New York

Jim Jordan, however, told reporters today that he is “picking up support every day,” and he predicts that we will finally have a speaker today. It is rumored that Jordan could pull enough votes in the second ballot to win the Speakership.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the House went into session to elect a new Speaker at noon ET. At approximately 12:40 pm ET, Representatives began making nominations for Speaker. A roll call vote for the Speaker started at approximately 1 pm ET.
