Hannity Quotes Putin's Mouthpiece in Attack on Biden

That the Fox News host would give airtime to a Kremlin statement of this sort is not surprising, given his past comments.

For at least the past year and a half, Sean Hannity has regularly made comments targeting President Biden’s mental fitness, some days doing so more explicitly than others.

Friday night was no exception, with Hannity telling his audience that the president was spending the weekend in Delaware with “a lot of ice cream” and “a lot of nap time.” On this particular broadcast, though, Hannity also read word for word a statement from a Kremlin spokesperson.

“‘Given such irritability from Mr. Biden, his fatigue and sometimes forgetfulness…fatigue that leads to aggressive statements, we will not make harsh assessments, so as not to cause more aggression,’” Hannity said, quoting Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. (The statement was issued Friday after Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin “a war criminal.”)

Hannity used this to launch into a criticism of Biden’s foreign policy.

“Now like I’ve been saying, Biden’s weakness on the world’s stage—it is emboldening bad actors all across the globe,” he claimed. Biden and Democrats, he said, “abandoned the peace through strength strategy that was successful” under Presidents Trump and Reagan.

Republican betrayal of truth, decency, and America will be their well-deserved downfall.
