Sean Hannity revives Obama-story from 2008, laments that Obama is obsessed with him.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/sean-hannity-goes-after-obamas-old-pastor-jeremiah-wright-no-its-not-2008?ref=home

Earlier in the day, the former president took a veiled shot at Fox News during his video endorsement of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, and Hannity couldn’t help but complain about Obama’s not-so-subtle broadside.

“And he can’t get Fox News out of his head,” Hannity exclaimed, after leading off his Tuesday night primetime broadcast by mocking Obama’s endorsement. “He can’t. We live in his mind. He takes a shot at Fox again. Me, yours truly, I live in his mind!”

...

Once again insisting—without a hint of irony—that it was Obama who couldn’t get Fox News out of his head, Hannity then went on a rant running down the purported scandals of the Obama era that Fox News covered incessantly, boasting that “we are the only ones that exposed” them.

“We did a deep dive into the radical hate preacher. We were right about Reverend ‘G-D America’—Reverend Wright,” Hannity bellowed, referencing Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s former pastor.

Besides Wright, Hannity also brought up former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers, noting that Hannity and Fox News were also the “ones who exposed” Obama’s ties to the former domestic terrorist. Numerous news outlets would later report that the two never had a close association, something Ayers himself would later confirm.

All Obama said was that drumpf had a propaganda network. He didn’t mention a name. Interesting that Hannity heard the term propaganda and immediately assumed it was his own network!!!

It's like how Hillary Clinton mentioned a possible Russian asset who might consider a third-party run and Tulsi Gabbard immediately took umbrage (and filed a defamation lawsuit against her).

.... but the only thing he is accomplishing is feeding red meat to a cult that has chewed and swallowed it, only to be regurgitated, chewed again, and swallowed once more, repeat ad nauseam while the rest of the sane world is laughing. If there was a "like it", "laugh at it" meter set to the mark it was at before his pathetic little rant, it would still register the same afterward. He remains what he has always been. An irrelevant turd💩 in drump's punchbowl.
