Hannity is firing up his viewers to take action.

I got bored watching "too close to call" on MSNBC so I tuned in Fox. Well, it's not boring:

Hannity's talking to Ted Cruz about "democrats stealing the election" They're going for an angle that "observers" aren't allowed in to watch the count. Speaking as an attorney, Cruz declared not letting these observers in, as required by law", invalidates the whole election. The whole election.

Unmentioned, because this is Hannity's show and he misleads the sheep, is that "observers" are allowed to view the count, but pre-registration is required. They're implying that any idiot (like Ted Cruz) who walks into the BOE gets free reign of the place.

They're going on and on about how in Maricopa they "put black out paper on the windows" so we can't see what they're doing. Seeing the party's far right has waded into dangerous waters, Sean Hannity has joined them to push people into the deep end.

Now he has Newt on talking about how disgusted he is by democrats stealing this election and how they're breaking federal law by not allowing observers.

I'm telling you, men are the mouthpiece for the republican party, and I guarantee we'll be hearing more about this. Tune in now and you'll get Mark Levin and his moment of hate.

on edit:
I had to change the channel before I throw this ashtray through Laura Ingraham's head. I'm yelling at the TV and it didn't do anything to me.

pushing the idea that the state electors should ignore the vote and give the state's electoral votes to Trump.

10. Newt is one of the biggest reasons Congress is as bad as it is and there is no cooperation across

the aisle.

Cruz isn't far behind him. Pay either the right price and they'll say anything.

Hannity is a smaller version of Trump in many ways.

Maybe a special prosecutor to investigate broadcasters and media personalities that have incited insurrection, riot, violence, and conspiracy to incite insurrection, riot, etc. Trump set his justice department on antifa protestors who supposedly incited violence. Sauce for the goose. There are limits on the First Amendment.
