Hannity: It ‘May Be True’ That ‘Deep State’ Is Using Coronavirus to ‘Manipulate Economies’
Fox News host Sean Hannity took to his radio show on Wednesday once again downplay concerns over the coronavirus outbreak, this time citing a Twitter crank to credulously claim that it might “be true” that the so-called “deep state” is using the pandemic to hurt the economy and push “mandated medicines.”
Hannity, who also serves as an informal adviser to President Donald Trump and is sometimes referred to as the White House chief of staff, first pointed to a far-right blog to insist that the American public is approving of the president’s response to the coronavirus.
“Gateway Pundit points out that, as of yesterday, that the president’s approval rating is fine and he’s getting pretty good grades on everything else,” Hannity boasted during his afternoon radio program, as first spotlighted by Media Matters.
