Hannity Suddenly Has Praise For Louis Farrakhan After Hearing He Likes Trump

[DonViejo]

Sean Hannity confessed after Wednesday’s presidential debate he “always wanted to meet" Louis Farrakhan, the man he targeted in 2008 for his indirect ties to then-Sen. Barack Obama, after being told that Farrakhan was partial to Donald Trump.

“I’ve always wanted to meet Farrakhan,” Hannity said early Thursday morning, after commentator Larry Elder said Farrakhan “has said positive things” about Donald Trump.

“I listened to hours and hours of his speeches. He’s mesmerizing. He’s an unbelievable orator,” Hannity continued. “What he says about individual responsibility and morality and being fathers and starting businesses is brilliant. Then he adds the racism and the anti-Semitism. If you took that away, this guy could have been such a powerful force in his life, but unfortunately his legacy is one of racism and anti-Semitism.”

During the 2008 presidential election, and for many years afterwards, Hannity pegged Farrakhan as concrete proof that Obama was anti-Semitic and racist against white people. The church Obama attended in Chicago, led by Pastor Jeremiah Wright, had given an award to Farrakhan, a leader in the Nation of Islam and author of occasionally hateful tomes.

1. Shouldn't be a surprise to ANYONE - Farrakhan was closely aligned with Rev Moon. He never fooled me

or anyone else who paid attention.

Any wee bit of good that came from Farrakhan over the years is no different than any wee bit of good performed by Rev Moon or Poppy Bush or Donald Trump.

Or Roger Ailes. Or L Ron Hubbard. Or any other cult figure who is an expert on manipulation.

2. I can't believe Hannity's audience would be on board for this change of heart...

Hopefully Trashpot will take him off the air when they make their Hate Network...he is by far the worst that FOX has to offer.
