Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was interrupted multiple times Friday during a speech at a Republican lawyers conference when pranksters played music over the venue’s sound system.

The troll, whom the Ohio Republican was not able to find, interrupted him multiple times — playing songs such as Jelly Roll’s “Liar.”

The interruption also included circus tunes and was caught by a C-SPAN camera.

The initial disruption was met by laughter that quickly turned to confusion in the room.

Eventually, the music temporarily derailed Jordan’s remarks as he spoke about federal oversight and his role as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

“This is great,” he said as “Liar” blared through the speakers. “There’s probably some Democrat doing this.”

Moments later, he asked the crowd, “That was that Jelly Roll guy, right?”

Elsewhere during his remarks, the GOP lawmaker was discussing topics from Elon Musk to censorship when he got flustered by the prankster.

After the interruptions continued, Jordan told the crowd, “I can take a couple of questions, or we can just listen to the music and laugh, it’s up to you.”

The Republican received an award at the event – the Edwin Meese III Award – for being “an individual who has upheld the rule of law in the face of adverse political challenges and is presented at the National Policy Conference each spring in Washington, D.C.”

Jordan was addressing a conference of attorneys on the topic of “Successes of the Trump Administration and Republican Priorities.”
