Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) confused World Cup soccer and hockey during a live broadcast Friday on Fox News — and the internet didn’t miss it.
Jordan apparently mixed up the current FIFA World Cup with MMA and hockey, confusing the sports events in the interview. He was asked about the upcoming match between Team USA and Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1.
“I hope we go all the way to the championship and win it,” Jordan said. “Golly, I mean, we’re on a run. Look at the UFC fight where the American beat the Spanish guy in the main event. We’re on a roll so let’s hope the hockey team can do the same.”
The anchors did not correct him, but repeated that it was the World Cup they were referring to.
Social media users mocked the MAGA lawmaker’s comments.
“I love World Cup Hockey!” Mueller She Wrote, popular political social media account, wrote on Bluesky.
“You do not understand how f—— hard this made me laugh oh my god lmaooooo,” writer Karlee Suszann posted on Bluesky.
“Jim Jordan on the World Cup: ‘Look at the UFC fight where the American beat the Spanish guy in the main event. We’re on a roll so let’s hope the hockey team can do the same.’ (The World Cup isn’t a hockey event …),” journalist Aaron Rupar wrote on X.
“LOL if you don’t watch soccer, just say so and don’t comment on it. Now Jordan looks like a dumb—,” Marty Golingan, journalist and former OAN producer, wrote on X.
“It would definitely be bigger than the ‘Miracle on Ice’ if the US Hockey team wins the #FIFAWorldCup,” journalist Robert Lusetich wrote on X.
