'My God — what an operation': Steve Bannon despairs over Jim Jordan's battle for speaker
Right-wing broadcaster Steve Bannon expressed frustration on Wednesday over Rep. Jim Jordan's (R-OH) flailing battle to become House speaker.
During an interview on Bannon's War Room podcast, Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) told Bannon that Jordan had yet to meet with the 20 lawmakers who voted against him.
"But hasn't he been even in a struggle session for those people?" Bannon asked. "We're going in reverse."

"I don't think that he actually took the people specifically that voted against him and got in a room with them," Rosendale confirmed.
"My God," Bannon gasped, lowering his head. "What an operation."
The podcaster then encouraged his audience to call Jordan's opponents.
