Media Matters caught Hannity on his radio show telling listeners not to expect their lives to get better in the near future:
HANNITY: I need to manage people’s expectations. There’s so many big balls in the air, because it’s so transformational and consequential.
I just urge conservatives to stand back, give people a little bit of breathing room, and give them time to get their bearings and to get dialed in and get the right people in place. Because a lot of these departments have to clean out a lot of the deep state that is within them that are sabotaging them.
Hannity did not give this little pep talk in response to a conservative questioning Trump’s sabotage of the government and the economy. He was speaking to a caller expressing enthusiastic MAGA support and antagonism toward the “dirty dogs” who caused the recent swatting of a conservative. In other words, apropos of nothing.
Hannity would not be saying this if he wasn’t worried about Trump losing support for his cost-raising, stock-market crashing, government-services destroying, Putin-appeasing, national-security compromising, kidnapping of legal residents and billionaire-run administration.
Thanks, Sean! It’s the best news I’ve heard this week.
