Sean Hannity tosses twitter temper tantrum at Ben Sasse for defending the Constitution

Sean Hannity really showed what he’s made of in this ridiculous debate with Ben Sasse, the Republican Senator from Nebraska.

Sasse began criticizing Trump for his attacks on the media and insinuations that he’d be OK with using the power of the federal government to shut down the press.

Even some Trump fans have noted that Trump is treading into dangerous waters here. But Sean Hannity had to defend his BFF from the constitutional attacks from Sasse.

Sasse responds:

And.

Notice, no childish insults. Here’s how Hannity responded:

OK- then WHY are you arguing with Sasse? WHY aren’t you simply agreeing with him? This is such an irrational response.

A great “whataboutism” response – don’t criticize Trump’s unconstitutional stance unless you meet some completely unrelated standard.

Then he tries to quote a Supreme Court decision to try to say that Trump CAN limit the freedom of the press:

And then admits that the standard doesn’t apply:

None of this makes any sense AT ALL. If he wants the press to be left alone, then WHY is he bashing Sasse for telling the president that he can’t shut down the press?

How is not obvious that Hannity doesn’t care to rationally argue anything, but that he’s simply defending Trump no matter what?
