Of Course Sean Hannity Defends Trump Lies About Hurricane Dorian Map
On Day Five of Hurricane-gate, Sean Hannity lied to the viewers of Fox News’ most-watched show and defended Trump’s misinforming about the threat of Hurricane Dorian which he then covered up with lies and even a crime. And Fox News was fine with that.
As I’ve previously posted, rather than admit he made a mistake when he warned that Alabama was in peril from Dorian, Donald Trump has tried to cover up his blunder with a pack of lies, including a comically and illegally altered weather map. As Dorian bore down on the Carolinas yesterday, Trump continued to obsessively defend his bungle. The Washington Post summed up Trump’s efforts on Thursday, “In effect, Trump was attempting to bend time — claiming that a projection that was several days out of date was accurate at the time he warned Alabama of a dire threat that didn’t exist.” In addition to the maps and tweets, Trump even had the White House “release a 225-word statement defending his erroneous warnings that Alabama was ‘going to get a piece’ of the storm,” The Post noted.
