Hannity denied that he was campaigning for Trump and was instead there for an interview, but anyone who watched his stump speech would likely think otherwise.

The incongruity of Hannity’s behavior on the Trump rally stage and his pre-campaign stop explanation caught the attention of Morning Joe, in particular, Hannity’s cable news rival Joe Scarborough, who derided Hannity for claiming he wasn’t actually campaigning:

You have Rush Limbaugh at the campaign last night lying saying Hillary Clinton and the Russians colluding? How stupid does Rush Limbaugh think the people behind him are? You have Sean Hannity campaigning saying I am not campaigning. If you’re going to campaign, own it. There’s Sean Hannity campaigning. Free country. Free to do it if they want to, but everybody is following Donald Trump’s lead. They’re lying through their they’re spreading the big lie. They are attacking nonwhite people. And Donald Trump has chosen, he has chosen to choose racism over a strong economy.

The heavy suggestion here is not just that Hannity was lying about not campaigning on behalf of the Commander in Chief, but that he and his fellow supporters of the Trump campaign were “spreading the big lie” regarding the alleged invasion of “caravan” migrants approaching the southern U.S. border by foot.
