Fox News host Sean Hannity spent last night in the office of Senate President Mitch McConnell and called on McConnell to be replaced as the Republican leader of the Senate, after the senator from Kentucky called on Trump for inciting a rebellious mob.
Speaking from the Senate floor on Tuesday, McConnell blew up the president and “other powerful people” for inciting riots in the Capitol, saying the “mob was fed up with lies” about the election that was “stolen” from Trump by unfounded allegations of widespread voter fraud. Except for the president, it turned out that McConnell sent a direct message to members of his caucus, especially sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO), who spearheaded the attempt to block the election of President Joe Biden. victory.
Hannity, a close confidant and adviser to Trump, started his show by sharing a document from the White House listing 1,000 Trump achievements, and his audience insisted that ‘here are real things, real achievements’.
From there, Hannity devoted much of the rest of his opening monologue to tearing McConnell apart because he was not loyal enough to the outgoing president. which certifies the election of Biden.
“Now the soon-to-be minority leader Mitch McConnell and a handful of other long-serving Republicans are trying to regain control of the GOP, and their playbook is unfortunately all too predictable,” Hannity grumbles. “Instead of picking up the mantle and advancing the president’s America’s First agenda, they are fearful, and they are languishing under the pressure of the media crowd, liberal democrats and big tech companies.”
After again claiming that the president did nothing to incite the MAGA mob, he claimed that Trump only appealed to his followers to march to the Capitol peacefully and patriotically so that their voice could be heard could be ‘, the Fox News host buzzed that McConnell and other’ established ‘Republicans were’ spineless’ because they condemned the president.
“Republicans in the establishment have no backbone, no principle, no courage, no vision,” he said. “Too many politicians in DC are far too willing to go along, get the swamp right and protect it, and that’s why conservatives like me are tired of these empty promises and your rehearsed speeches and never getting anything done.”
Hannity, who had earlier called on Republicans of the Senate to dismiss the “accusation madness” and not take part in the Senate hearing, called for new IDP leadership.
“We need new leadership in the U.S. Senate,” he smoked. ‘You can represent the people of Kentucky. You are basically showing at the moment that you are the king of the established Republicans who honestly have always had contempt for President Trump, but more importantly, the 75 million Americans who voted for him. ”
Interestingly, while Hannity boasted against the Republican Party for not having Trump’s back, he did not lead the potential of an independent political party through Trump.
“If you go back to 1964, Ronald Reagan gave a speech, ‘The Time for Choosing,'” he said. ‘He posed the question rhetorically: is it a third party that the Republican Party needs? And he concluded no. He said we need a new party without bull, bold colors and no pale pastels. ”
