Sean Hannity Forced Into a Spectacularly Humiliating Retreat Over NYT Trump-Mueller Story
Welcome to WHAT NOW, a morning round-up of the news/fresh horrors that await you today.
When The New York Times reported Thursday evening that President Trump tried to fire special counsel Robert Mueller last summer—despite repeatedly insisting he would do no such thing—Sean Hannity, Fox News’ resident MMA expert and Trump-defending fanatic, was far from convinced.
“The New York Times is trying to distract you, they have a story that Trump wanted Mueller fired sometime last June, and our sources—and I’ve checked in with many of them—they’re not confirming that tonight,” Hannity told his viewers around 9:15 p.m. last night. “How many times has The New York Times and others gotten it wrong?”
Wow, good question, you’ve got me there. It’s good to be hearing from a rare beacon of conservative truth, who would certainly never use his various platforms to pedal outright conspiracy theories and falsehoods.
