Sean Hannity calls himself the victim as evidence emerges...Seth Rich was not the WikiLeaks source

Sean Hannity calls himself the victim as evidence emerges that Seth Rich was not the WikiLeaks source

Besieged by "liberal fascism," Hannity has been on a tear since Rich's family asked him to drop the conspiracy

TAYLOR LINK

A manic Sean Hannity portrayed himself as a martyr of “liberal fascism” Wednesday morning, hours after the Fox News host addressed the debunked conspiracy theory surrounding the murder of Seth Rich on his nightly program.

For over a week, Hannity had been trying to deflect from the Russian hacking investigations by peddling the conspiracy theory that Rich was the source of the leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee. The story came to its head Tuesday night when the right-wing news host devoted time on his show, “Hannity,” to the Rich family’s request for his silence on the issue.

“The unsolved murder of former DNC staffer Seth Rich continues to get a huge amount of attention,” Hannity said on his program, seemingly ignoring the fact that he was responsible for mainstreaming the conspiracy theory in the first place. “I totally and completely understand how upset, how hard this is on this family — especially over the recent coverage of Seth’s death.”

“Out of the respect for the family’s wishes, for now, I am not discussing this matter at this time,” he added.



But Hannity did not exactly throw cold water on the story. Near the end of his show Tuesday night, Hannity suggested that he was still pursuing the Rich story in a tweet.

Anyone have that info? Is there a coordinated effort going on in this regard.

If the right wing can kill the career of someone as highly regarded as Dan Rather over a false new story that he got fooled by, we sure in hell ought to be trying to kill this assholes career for the BS he knowingly and deceitfully spreads! This guy is fucking evil. Let'
s pressure his sponsors and Fox News!

Now the wingnuts are saying Manchester was a false flag operation to detract from Seth Rich in the news? How crazy can they get? Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily.com, Inc., wnd.com is pushing this fake news as part of their Clinton murders list. Some anon sites are pushing it too, lots of #TrumpBots involved.

Bush pushed New World Order, Trump is bring on New World Mental Disorder.
