Fox News Hosts Splinter as Chaotic Pennsylvania Primaries Heat Up
NYT ^ | May 14 | NYT

...

Thursday night alone was pretty wild, with Sean Hannity pumping up Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trump’s choice for Senate, and talking down Kathy Barnette, a conservative media commentator whose late surge in the May 17 primary has alarmed Republican Party insiders and thrilled the rambunctious G.O.P. grass-roots in Pennsylvania.

An hour later, Laura Ingraham was defending Barnette against what she called “smears.”

To viewers, it presented the illusion of a real-time debate between warring factions of what remains the nation’s most powerful cable news channel.

I was told that attack dog Sean Hannity was attacking Kathy non-stop.

What a d**k.

I dislike him even more now...

Safe to say she must be leading in the polls if they're wheeling out Hannity to do their dirty work.

Hannity has ALWAYS been an establishment parrot.. always…

The Hannity Show is literally the Daily RNC talking points memo nearly 100% of the time.

I heard McCormick interviewed this morning on the radio. He touted his experience, noting that his rivals are greenhorns when it comes to legislation. I came away thinking, “yeah, just what we need, another professional politician.”

That must explain his unequivocal support of Trump. /s

None of this had to happen had Sean Parnell fought back against the smears.

Parnell totally chickened out and is now dumping on Barnette. Parnell was an excellent candidate, but the Dems used the court system and leveraged his kids against him and he folded like a chump.

All I have to say is this: It's an ugly Senate primary race, so whoever wins the GOP primary MUST be supported in the general for majority's sake.

So you FReeper mofos better be singing kumbaya on Wednesday.

Funny. The NYTIMES backs the Dem candidates all the way and have the gall to make fun of Fox for ‘fragmenting’.

They certainly have high opinion of themselves

Mark Levin was on the losing side the other week in Ohio despite his constant shilling for certain candidate & against the winner.

Hopefully Hannity experiences the same fate next week 😂

Strongly suspect he will...

Hannity is a jerk who’s never had an independent thought in his life.

Whatever the GOP-E wants, he does. Hannity is their Useful Idiot.

When he did the show opposite Alan Colmes, he sounded conservative. But that’s because Colmes was an extreme liberal.

Hannity unequivocally supported Trump because, as stupid as he is, he knew Trump was a winner, and Hannity didn’t want to lose his White House invites.

He only backs Trump because he knows which way the wind is blowing nationally otherwise he would be in trouble with his audience and his boss and wouldn’t get sit down interviews,. etc.

I think he is doing this, because he’s friends with Dr. Oz. I never saw Hannity say that someone was going to lose during a Primary.

Yes I agree whoever writes his script is being fed this from GOP-E types.

He’s going to look silly next week if she pulls this out not he cares about this but you would think he would.

The vicious personal smears that he made against Kathy would have been more palatable if Sean had had the balls to invite her on his show to answer. He proved himself to be an unethical hack. Kathy stated that she was free at 9 PM Friday, and Hannity was MIA.
I have contempt for this man whom I used to admire.

Truth to tell, he’s been flacking for Oz for some time now. Way before Barnette came on the scene.

“I was told that attack dog Sean Hannity was attacking Kathy non-stop.”

Wait, you mean the same Hannity who always bragged how they have each candidate on to share their views and help voters make an balanced decision?

Support Trump. What makes him be and look strong do. Hard? Not as hard as giving up the life he worked for to fight, damn successfully, for the American people.

Support Trump as he supports us.

That is not a sign of stupidity. Any one who recognizes greatness of MAGA king PDJT is a strategic thinker.

Voters who voted for these conservatives are the real low IQ voters. Because their primary winner was easily defeated in general, and that resulted in electing a lefty liberal democrat. Voters who will vote for Barnette are following the same low IQ path.

Roy Moore
Todd Akin
Ken Cuccinelli
Richard Mourdock
Christine O'Donnell
Ken Buck
Alan West
Doug Hoffman
