anti-Trump Republicans declare war on Sean "Lumpy" Hannity

Hannity, possibly because of all those polls showing Trump behind, has recently taken to saying that the Republican establishment and people like Stephens will be to blame if Trump loses. (And not, y’know, Trump himself or people like Hannity who have been unapologetic boosters of his candidacy.)

Stephens gets things started in his column tonight (titled “Sean Hannity’s Veneration of Ignorance”) by saying “Mr. Hannity has never made a secret of his feelings for Mr. Trump, which is the love that dares to speak its name.”

He likens him to a cult member, says he’s the kind of “political huckster” that puts Al Sharpton to shame, and even said that Hannity’s responses to him show “he can’t even swear competently.”

Pig pile on Lumpy!

Some anti-Trump conservatives have already started weighing in on Twitter, and New York Times columnist Ross Douthat supplemented Stephens’ column with this tweetstorm:

What he's embraced is just Trump -- for the same reason he embraces *whatever* force seems most powerful in the GOP. Because he's a hack.

...

Hannity has been a Bush-worshiper, a Tea Partier, a born-again immigration reformer, a Tea Partier again, now a Trumpist.

...

The only thru-line: Power worship and ratings chasing.

1. So, Hannity sniffs a fart in the wind and has to follow whoever let that fart loose.

5. When Richard Bey was at WABC in the early 2000's

he once tried to correct Hannity about something he had said to a caller on his show. Hannity's response: "Never tell me something that doesn't support my point of view."

7. Bad Stretch For Lumpy

I have always though he is not the brightest bulb around but thinks he is, a bad, bad combination.

8. It's a pretty safe bet

that he's never the smartest guy in the room.

9. Unfortunately he's made millions of $'s and brain washed millions of people

over the course of his career at Faux news and his radio program. He doesn't care, he's got his reward as has Limpballs.

10. I listen to Handjob on the way to work sometimes

His hysterical pro Trump rants are comedy gold!

11. You know what this is? This is the Republican party trying to desperately disavow that Trump

was born of their OWN rancid political rhetoric of the past 30-40 years. Trump is the frothing id none of them wanted to see exposed to the light of day. Scarborough's been pushing it for days now - "This guy is really a Democrat". GOP disavowing Hannity is just another way for them to say "No, no, not us, we didn't birth this abomination. Only loons like Hannity are pushing Trump, we would NEVER."

BULLSHIT, chums. He's all yours.
