Hannity Makes Bold Declaration After Kanye West’s Tweets: ‘It is a New Political Landscape in America’

During his monologue, Sean Hannity spoke briefly about Kanye West‘s Internet-breaking tweets expressing support for President Donald Trump.

Earlier on Wednesday, Kanye called the president his “brother” and that he “loves” him. He even posted a picture of himself wearing the Make America Great Again hat.

Well, one Fox News host thought his “glowing endorsement” of  Trump was a big deal.

“It is a new political landscape in America,” Hannity declared.

Hannity went on to say that Kanye picture of his MAGA hat was “driving liberals on social media totally insane tonight” and mentioned his tweet blasting President Obama for his inaction of Chicago during his eight years in office, calling it an “utter failure.” He also noted that this all began when Kanye gave a shoutout to black conservative Candace Owens, who Hannity insisted a “star is born” for her blunt talk on college campuses.

Later on in the show, Hannity had on Jesse Watters and Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov react to Kanye’s tweets.

“I think what’s happening is very clear… Kanye West has loosened the grip the Democratic Party holds on the black vote,” Watters said. “When you have a cultural influencer like Kanye West wear the MAGA hat and say he loves Trump and saying he’s one of his favorite people, I mean that’s a cultural technomic tectonic shift, Jessica. I think your feet are moving underneath the floor because it’s such a huge deal.”

“No, they’re not,” Tarlov rebuked.
