(WATCH) Fox News Host Caught On Hot Mic Calling GOP Legislator A “Dumb***”

While the House of Representatives conducted a House Floor vote for Speaker, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade appeared to call Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) a dumb*** on live air.

Bacon cast his House Speaker vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Kilmeade was heard saying dumb*** off camera after Bacon announced his vote.

Just the News noted:

Jordan ultimately failed to secure the speaker’s gavel on the first round of voting and the chamber recessed after the final tally. A second vote is expected Tuesday.

Kilmeade is a weekdays co-host of “Fox & Friends” and the host of “One Nation with Brian Kilmeade” on Saturdays.

Bacon is one of 20 Republicans who did not support Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for House Speaker.
