Hannity: Media Has Been 'Colluding the Entire Time' to Delegitimize Trump's Election

by Josh Feldman | 11:04 pm, July 14th, 2017

Sean Hannity‘s Friday night monologue, after a day of new revelations about Donald Trump Jr.‘s meeting with a Russian lawyer, focused on how the real collusion is coming from Democrats and the liberal media.

Hannity, who conducted the much-talked-about interview with the President’s son earlier this week, brought up the reported connection between the firm behind that Trump dossier and individuals in that meeting room.

As he went point-by-point, he concluded that “once again as we begin to peel back the layers of this onion and learn more and more about truth and facts, this is now boomeranging back on to the Democratic Party.” But then he also went off on the media too:

<< “But first, the Democrats (and) the destroy-Trump media have for months breathlessly, hysterically been feigning moral outrage and pushing those black helicopter tin foil hat conspiracy theories about collusion, when in fact they are now the ones––they have been colluding the entire time, all in an effort to damage, to delegitimize, and ultimately overturn an election of you the American people and destroy the president.”>>

I guess this assertion about the media colluding with the Democrats is a big nothing burger.

And neither is reporting criminal acts that were meant to be concealed by perpetrators who happen to be traitors as well. False equivalence and desperation are alive and well in TrumpLand, where the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gets kicked to the curb on a daily basis.

A tape of all the nonsense he said about President Obama and Secretary Clinton verse what he now says about Benedict Donald should awaken anyone with a IQ above 90.

Just like "fake news" was suddenly on everybody's lips. Something like:
"Collusion? Who doesn't collude? It's natural to collude. Hillary Clinton colluded with somebody sometime, but that's the bad collusion because Hillary is bad. But our Heroic President Trump (peace be unto him) does not collude and if he did ever collude, it'd be the good kind of collusion because our president is a man of honor. Under his unerringly wise and steady leadership, this nation will rise up with the righteous Christian values that the country enjoyed back in the 1850s, when certain people knew their place!"

Odd, ain't it, that so many Republicans are unfamiliar with that concept?
