Sean Hannity Makes False Claim About Trump's Would-Be Assassins
HuffPost
The Fox News host was not helping matters any in his error about the attempts on Trump's life.
Sean Hannity on Tuesday incorrectly said both would-be assassins of Donald Trump were Democrats. (Watch the video below.)
Before he apparently misspoke, the Fox News host was adding to the chorus of Republicans, led by Trump, blaming Democratic rhetoric for inciting political violence.
Hannity played a supercut of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats in politics and media calling Trump a “threat to democracy.” The montage included the president being likened to Adolf Hitler.
“Now, two psychotic Democrats took that rhetoric to heart and now tried to murder Donald Trump,” Hannity said.
