Sean Hannity Suggests Travel Ban Judge Did Weed And Blow With Barack Obama

Sean Hannity implied that the federal judge in Hawaii who put a hold on President Donald Trump’s travel ban may have shared marijuana and “a little blow” with former President Barack Obama.

Further, he suggested U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson should recuse himself because of it.

“This judge who issued the travel ban ruling is an Obama law school classmate,” Hannity said on his radio show Thursday. “Maybe he should have recused himself from the case. Just a maybe? Were they best friends in Hawaii? Were they part of the Choom Gang, smoking pot and hanging out and doing a little bit of weed and maybe even a little blow?”

Media Matters, which posted audio of the comments, notes that right-wing media have been pushing a conspiracy theory that Obama was involved in stopping Trump’s travel ban.

So, why should he recuse himself? Further, this executive order was put into place under Trump, not Obama. The right is really just grasping at straws.

Obama is going to be the boogeyman for the next four years.
