...and then there is Sean Hannity.

(snip)

Then there is Sean Hannity.

To the surprise of no one, Hannity immediately started making threats, saying bombers were on the way to the region and sounding like a schoolyard bully, gloating about how Mullahs better hide in their bunkers and refinery workers might want to change jobs pretty quick. He could not have sounded happier.

This is a problem.

When it comes to reporting the news, and when reasonable people like Chris Wallace weigh in on Fox News, it actually contributes to the conversation. When Hannity brags about potential bloodshed it isn’t just dispiriting in comparison. It’s dangerous.

HANNITY:

1⃣ "3 major refineries could soon go up in flames."
2⃣ "Illicit nuclear sites may finally be annihilated."
3⃣ "Keep a watchful eye on the sky tonight."
4⃣ "Powerful U.S. forces are in position tonight."
5⃣ "Carrier[s] within striking distance."

Does Iran know, like the rest of the world, that Hannity is one of the Orange Jesus' closest advisors?

I've been watching if anyone else would pick up on it. No one so far (I posted about this a few days ago).

As the regime is now owning up to shooting the plane down, they *could* shed light on what spooked them into shooting it down.
