Things are not all sunshine and roses in the Republican party today, folks.
In fact, you've got Republicans going at it with one another and recently
Sean Hannity picked a fight, actually attacked Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell.
And the reason Hannity attacked McConnell is because last week McConnell came out and he said,
you know, candidate quality has a lot to do with the expected outcomes of the Senate races
in this year's midterms. Now McConnell has been outspoken in recent weeks about how off he is
that Republicans have such terrible candidates out there. JD Vance, Dr. Oz, Herschel Walker,
all of these terrible candidates for Senate on the Republican side have effectively killed Mitch
McConnell's hopes and dreams of getting back into the majority. And he has made that clear.
So that's why he was out there last week talking about candidate quality having a lot to do with
why Republicans are sinking right now. And Sean Hannity was angry about this. I think
mostly because of course, Sean Hannity's the one who helped convince Dr. Oz to run for office in
the first place. So Hannity attacks McConnell saying this on a show the other night. Democrats
are painting Republicans Senate candidates and upcoming elections and midterms as cruel and
out of touch. While apparently Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell is content to leave them
out to dry and fend for themselves. Listen to these comments. They're very encouraging.
You don't hear Schumer complaining about candidate quality in Pennsylvania. How about you get out
there Mitch and fight for your team? What's your agenda, Mitch? Or would you rather just sit by and
watch helplessly as Democrats lie to your face, pass another 500 billion green energy boondoggle?
Here's the thing though, Sean, Mitch McConnell is very smart and certainly much smarter than you.
Now, I'm not saying I like Mitch McConnell or that he's a good guy. I'm just saying he's smart folks.
And he is very smart in an evil sort of way. So when Mitch McConnell was out there telling you,
listen, our candidates are garbage. He's been doing this for what, 36 years?
37 years I think at this point. He knows of what he speaks. He has seen people come and
go. He has seen tight races. He has seen runaway victories on both sides. Mitch McConnell's been
in the game long enough to know how the game is played and what you have to do to win.
Sean Hannity, of course has not. He has sat in his seat of power, getting millions and millions and
millions of dollars a year from Fox news, from his radio show, from all the other things out there,
Hannity is completely detached from what happens inside Washington, DC.
So yeah, I'm gonna trust Mitch McConnell on this issue,
mostly because I'm not living in the fantasy world that Sean Hannity is living in.
I can see firsthand how terrible these candidates are and so can everybody in
the states where they're running and everybody in the states where these people are not running. We
know these people are idiots. We know they're bad candidates. That is not up for debate. They suck,
especially Oz and Walker. So Hannity can get off at Mitch McConnell if he wants. He can say that,
oh, Mitch, McConnell's doing this to us. The reality is that these Republicans are doing
it to themselves because people like Sean Hannity stuck their noses where they don't
belong and you're screwed over your own party. And I gotta be honest, I love it.
But Sean Hannity's doing something else a little dastardly here.
He's also setting up for Republicans to have an excuse to kick Mitch McConnell out of leadership,
which is definitely something Donald Trump wants. So if Trump wants it, Hannity's gonna want it
and Hannity's gonna try to sell it. So even though he knows this is not
Mitch McConnell's fault and there's nothing McConnell can do, he's gonna paint it as such
so that McConnell gets the blame and the Republicans give him the boot.
