A thread 🧵an off year election night on ‘Hannity.’ Things look a bit gloomy early on as Hannity predicted big wins but Kayleigh McEnany was more cautious and Reince Priebus was resigned to whatever transpired. Abortion was the topic of the night 1/6
Charlie Hurt brought up blatant lies about late-term abortion and infanticide. Absolutely no one in the Democratic Party is advocating for infanticide which is illegal in every state. Late-term abortions are extremely rare and performed for medical reasons 2/6
Stephen Miller thinks he knows how to talk to women about abortion - scream at them! He also forgets that the Dobbs decision didn’t exist when Trump ran for re-election in 2020. Trump also LOST that election so what was his point again? 3/6
Kayleigh McEnany offers her solutions for the abortion issue some of which seem completely impractical such as - child support while a child is in the womb. How would someone determine paternity? Millions in child support is currently unpaid or under-paid. 4/6
Sean Hannity admits openly that candidates could lose in landslides due to the abortion issue. He also concedes that most Americans want legal access to abortion. Charlie Hurt has some strange theories why it’s hurt the GOP. 5/6
Hannity repeats that most Americans want abortion and that 15 weeks is the magic number. Reince Priebus says the GOP needs to support some abortion access for Americans who need it. It’s a far cry from ‘Abortion is murder.’ When it costs them votes everything changes. 6/6

A 🧵thread of 12 hours of Fox News reduced to 9 Tweets. Monday night - Trump is indicted in Georgia. The evening starts with Jesse Watters primetime hosted by Pete Hegseth. The freakout begins. The term “lawfare” is born. 1/9
Hannity gives Gutfeld! the boot as the Fox hosts goes for two hours with no commercials as he waits for news of the indictment. Guests are recycled. Voting machines, phone calls, if they come for Trump they will come for YOU! 2/9
Hannity - Mark Levin calls in. Stalin would be proud! This isn’t just about Trump it’s the end of the constitution. The Democratic Party is celebrating like a pack of crazed Marxists! Hunter Biden! Investigate Biden! This is Tyranny! Lots of SCREAMING! 3/9
A thread 🧵- Fox News the night of Donald J. Trump’s third indictment from The Five to The Ingraham Angle. Five hours in seven tweets. Starting with The Five the news came down mid-show. Panic ensures. Jesse Watters screamed a lot. 1/7
Jessica Tarlov, the liberal on The Five, managed to get in several great points - Steve Bannon was caught on tape admitting the plot, several witnesses testified Trump knew he lost the election, most Americans think he committed crimes. 2/7
The Five finale - Republicans are terrible at running the government, Hillary: Lock Her Up!, time to re-litigate the 2020 election, Trump is blowing through money, no one can take this seriously even though it’s the most serious thing in the world 3/7
A thread 🧵of the entire evening of primetime Fox News the night of the 2nd indictment of Donald J. Trump. Jesse Watters had to abruptly pivot half way through his show. The panic was instant. Hillary Clinton was brought up immediately. It was about everyone but Trump 1/5
On Fox News Tonight - you’d think the case was about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton’s sock drawer. Stephen Miller had a meltdown. Pastor Jeffress vowed support of evangelicals 2/5
On Hannity things got more dramatic. He mentioned Hillary more than anyone. Tammy Bruce brought up punching the founding fathers in the face and Gettysburg. Pete Hegseth said everyone was at risk of being arrested for espionage. 3/5
Laura Ingraham openly mocked the toxic air in the Northeastern United States which is currently putting 75 million people at risk. She also laughed at the suggestion that Latino and Black children have higher rates of asthma. THEY DO have higher rates of asthma, that's not new.
The reason Black and Latino children have higher rates of asthma is that many of them live in areas where they are exposed to air pollution at a young age. There are clusters in NYC where asthma rates are higher that are near bus depots - Harlem, N. Manhattan, The Bronx
I can't write this all in a tweet but it's also true where children live next to poor air quality. Children from lower income families are more likely to suffer from asthma because they tend to live in areas with lower air quality. This has been well studied.
A 🧵thread. I captured every show on Fox last night starting with The Five thru The Ingraham Angle. This is a condensed edit of the entire evening. On The Five Jesse Watters dominated the discussion after the cast found out live that Trump was indicted 1/8
On Special Report with Bret Baier the tone was much more subdued as it’s considered a legit news program. Jonathan Turley said Trump could pardon himself, Baier read Trump’s statements on air. 2/8
Jesse Watters was emotional and unhinged. In Watters’ America everything is terrible. He brought up Hillary Clinton often and warned of unrest. Mike Davis incorrectly linked Bragg with Soros. Clay Travis claimed ‘nothing happed’ to Bill Clinton with The Lewinsky scandal 3/8
A 🧵thread. I went through every episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight and edited out ALL of the footage he claimed was evidence of some alternative narrative. It was about 10 min. 45 secs. total. This first video focuses on Jacob Cansley the QAnon Shaman 1/6
This video focuses on Chansley. Carlson shows him entering the building but when he showed the clip he didn’t mention to his viewers that Chansley is in the shot. All told there was about 3 and a half min. total of Chansley. You can also see that he’s holding a spear 2/6
The third video shows protesters in a large circular room. Tucker Carlson claimed they lined up in neat and orderly lines but that’s not what is shown. I’m not sure how this changes anything. 3/6
