BREAKING NEWS: Sean Hannity demands President Biden produce his Stuttering Certificate

[Tommy Carcetti]

Fox News personality Sean Hannity, facing heavy criticism after making remarks on his primetime show insinuating that President Joe Biden was using his long-documented stuttering condition as a cover for mental decline, doubled down on his accusations today about the President and demanding further proof from him.

"Literally the first thing you receive after you born is a Stuttering Certificate," Hannity said on his show. "The doctors at birth will make a full assessment to find out whether you be a stutterer for the rest of your life, and that piece of paper will prove that you are indeed a stutterer and not somebody simply willing to shamelessly pretend to stumble over words to gain an unfair advantage over others in life. Well, Mr. President, today literally all of America demands answers. Where is your Stuttering Certificate?"

While the controversial host insisted that the President showed no signs whatsoever of a stutter in 2012 or 2016, a simple fact check shows that Biden gave numerous interviews ranging back years before that time period where he discussed in detail his struggles with stuttering as a child, how he managed to overcome those problems in good part but how occasionally he will still fall victim to it.

Hannity, however, remained undeterred.

"The scandal about this phony-baloney stutter from Joe Biden is literally the most pressing issue on the minds of literally every single American," Hannity claimed. "For anyone to so callously hide behind the veil of an impairment he knows he doesn't have and yet refuses to provide us with the single piece of paper that would show otherwise is literally a crime of treason against the United States."

When pressed for comment, White House officials were dismissive of Hannity's accusations and demands.

"There is no such thing as a 'Stuttering Certificate' and Sean Hannity is the biggest moron to ever walk the face of the earth," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki remarked at her daily briefing before the White House press corps.

"Literally," Psaki added.

DETAILS AT ELEVEN.

1. Seriously., I can't tell the difference between reality and satire anymore...

[FlyingPiggy]

26. seriously, right? We are beyond the absurd now.

We need to address the nonsense like this and shame the fuck out of Hannity and Fox

[TheBlackAdder]

30. Hannity has to prove that HIS BALLS DROPPED. He's still a tenor for Boy's Town.

[vlyons]

2. What a mean-spirited and hateful thing to ridicule someone's physical challenge

Completely without honor or virtue. Hannity better hope he doesn't fall victim to Parkinson's or Alzhimeir's or prostrate cancer.

[Tommy Carcetti]

3. And yet he did it. (The actual clip.)

5. OMG

[PatSeg]

12. Hannity and his comrades at Fox

are purveyors of outrage. That is what they're selling and unfortunately there are plenty of people buying it. It must be exhausting seeking something to rant about for an hour every night.

And Biden was "never avoiding the press", he was avoiding confrontations with mindless idiots and scandal mongers.

14. I thought you were joking.

The GQP really has jumped the shark.

18. This is for real??

Sean Hannity spectacularly misuses the word 'literally'
August 16, 2016

The word "literally" has gotten quite a few people into trouble lately.

The word technically means "in a literal manner or sense; exactly." You use it to signal that This actually, truly happened and I am not exaggerating. So when Trump spokesman Katrina Pierson said "left-wing reporters … literally" beat Trump supporters, she implied CNN and Fox News were out on the streets with clubs (they weren't).

"Literally" got conservative talk show host Sean Hannity into an awkward spot Tuesday, too. Speaking on Fox News' morning show, Hannity ranted about how the media, and in particular CNN, are "so in the tank, so on board for Hillary."

"This is the kind of coverage that CNN offers in this presidential race as they literally kiss Hillary Clinton's ass and Obama's ass every day," Hannity said.

Replace "literally" with "figuratively," and he might have an argument. Otherwise ... don't think about that one too hard. Jeva Lange

8. I literally fell out of my chair and laughed my head off. Thanks a lot.

7. So this is not real?

[Tommy Carcetti]

9. The "stuttering certificate" part is satire.

Hannity claiming that President Biden is using stuttering as a cover for some mental decline is not, sadly.

10. Get used to it.

insHannity has a lot of work ahead of him. He has to convince the country that rushing proven vaccines to the people, authorizing stimulus money, helping to get 96% of Americans back to work and doing his best to open up America safely is the most egregious and despicable thing an American president has ever done.

11. You dog! I bought it hook line and sinker. The only tipoff was the Psaki comment.

Seemed to be not her style, too confrontational. Even then I wasn't sure. Excellent satire.

[Midnightwalk]

15. Bravo. Take a bow

[Celerity]

20. for what? Its not satire

22. The article is satire.

Satire is nearly always draws from truth. but the article itself is not lterally factual.

And, as is frequently the case here, when people post satire without labeling it satire people are assuming that it is actual news.

[Celerity]

25. well the certificate part, yes, I left that out, my bad

[Midnightwalk]

23. The stuttering certificate was

I had no doubt Hannity said something stupid wrong and cruel.

The certificate at birth time is satire (see above from Tom). I’m pretty sure the White House response isn’t real either

I had to stare a little to get it wasn’t all real.

[woodsprite]

16. Guess the Drs' who brought Hannity into the world forgot to tattoo "Asshole" on his forhead. nt

17. I was fortunate to meet Joe in person at two fundraisers

At one fund raiser, we discussed stuttering and I got a Biden hug. Joe is amazing on this issue

24. Do you know that there is a f'ing moron certificate? Doctors issue it to mothers of male babies

after their 3rd birthday. It is used to help the young boy escape beating from exasperated teachers, and later in life becomes a credential for seeking employment at Fox News.

[Tommy Carcetti]

28. Very good.

[IcyPeas]

27. hannity erred by calling ted cruz "former texas senator" oops "that was a 'biden'"

he misspoke and called it a "biden"

29. Rachel has been kicking Hannity's ass in the ratings,

he should simply confess on the air that he is a failure, and donate his salary to a more worthy cause.
