Former Republican presidential candidate and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman on Monday took a hit at Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), the House Oversight Committee chairman who recently announced that he will run for speaker against House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
.@GOPLeader McCarthy just got “Chaffetzed.”Something I know a little something about. #selfpromoter #powerhungry

As Mediaite noted, Chaffetz served as campaign manager for Huntsman’s 2004 gubernatorial campaign and then as the governor’s chief-of-staff. But in 2011, Chaffetz endorsed Romney over Huntsman in the Republican presidential primary.
