Hannity Is Convinced Former Editor For Defunct Tabloid Weekly World News Worked As "Fixer" For Clinton
Sean Hannity Is One Step Away From Hosting Bigfoot To Smear The Clintons

Sean Hannity invited Jeff Rovin on his prime-time Fox News show to claim he worked as Bill and Hillary Clinton's longtime fixer. Rovin is a discredited science-fiction writer who worked for the now-defunct Weekly World News tabloid that repeatedly attacked the Clintons with headlines such as Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby and Hillary Names Bigfoot As Running Mate.
Hannity hosted Rovin after a series of stories were published by the National Enquirer hyping an unnamed "fixer" who helped Hillary Clinton hide her "illicit romps with both men AND women." Rovin claimed he is coming forward now because of the endless attention the alleged indiscretions of Donald Trump have received. During the interview Hannity asked Rovin if he was voting for Trump because it sounds like you like Trump, Rovin responded, I like Trump, sure:
The Weekly World News was best known for ridiculous and outrageous front-page headlines, including; Clinton Hires 3-Breasted Intern, Alien Backs Clinton, Alien In Slammer After Fistfight With Bill
Over Hillary, and Hillary Names Bigfoot As Her Running Mate:
Trump sycophant Sean Hannity has continued to sink lower and lower in order to help boost Trumps candidacy, this time allowing himself to become the victim of a tabloid story which was neither verified by Fox News nor any other independent analysis.

(182,891 posts)Hannity usually seems to know his role - repeat the talking points of the day on his daily 4 hours of radio and TV airtime. Now he's just gone off the rails.
Maybe it was the loss of his mentor Ailes. Many think he will host the flagship of any Trump TV Network so he is basically already out the door at Fox. Who knows, but he has lost it.
