Wednesday night on the Fox News Channel, primetime host Sean Hannity accused Democrats of hypocrisy for calling for civility in the wake of the pipe bomb scare late Tuesday and Wednesday. Hannity first pointed out that just one day before the wave of mail bombs targeting well-known Democrats began surfacing, former Vice President Joe Biden compared President Trump to segregationist George Wallace.
Hannity continued: “Today, he’s singing a much different tune, tweeting ‘this country has got to come together.’” How convenient.
The FNC host then played a clip of Hillary Clinton from two weeks ago saying that “you cannot be civil” with Republicans and contrasted that with a video of her “singing a different tune after criminal acts against Democrats” by calling for unity at a political rally in Florida earlier Wednesday.
After contrasting Maxine Waters’s calls to confront Trump administration officials and tell them “they are not welcome anywhere anymore” versus a tweet of hers condemning “any and all acts of violence and terror,” Hannity accused the other news channels of “selective moral outrage,”: “They have been dead silent in the lead up to today. Frankly, complicit in giving her and all of these people on the left a pass and many of them themselves using this incendiary rhetoric.”
