Jonah Goldberg Gets in Major Twitter Fight With ‘Puppy Dog’ Hannity Over Trump, Hillary
After several weeks of bashing #NeverTrumpers, Fox’s Sean Hannity ended up in a Twitter fight with National Review’s Jonah Goldberg over who will be responsible for a potential GOP defeat.
Hannity has made his belief clear that if Donald Trump fails to win the 2016 election, it will have everything to do with traitors to conservatism, and very little to do with the fact that many people despise the mogul’s politics. Hannity has threatened to name names if this is the case in November, which prompted Goldberg to write a piece mocking him as a “puppy barking to protect its master from a parked car or a small child vowing to vanquish all of his enemies with his plastic sword.”
Hannity fired back during his Tuesday radio show, and it would seem they’re still going at it this Wednesday morning:
And my “puppy dog tirade” to you and others is quite simple. If she does win I will hold you responsible. Own it!!!! https://t.co/WKtTod5ZiW

Tfw you wake up to discover @seanhannity was getting “really serious you guys” about you while you slept

The puppy dog part is that you think that is super scary. “Oh noes Hannity is holding me responsible!” https://t.co/cKXImN5Gel

“Oh NOES” If God forbid she makes appointments to to Supreme Ct. “Oh Noes” if her “Refugees” kill Americans https://t.co/YBgCab1MaX

Sean, Trump brags how he breaks promises for his own ends. Brags about it. Yet you trust him. I wonder why? https://t.co/hf0i5nfLd5

The R party has broken most of their promises in recent years. “They” created this insurgency year. https://t.co/GAOLVhClJp

If Hillary crushes guy you’ve propped up all along you own it. If he wins & destroys conservatism you own that too. https://t.co/VduinzZzrZ
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) September 7, 2016
No, if HRC wins its people LIKE YOU who will OWN the damage she will inflict on the country. Own it Jonah. https://t.co/hdqlzQBKW4

After that, Goldberg also made a point of bringing up the recent report stating that Hannity is advising the Trump campaign now – an evolution from playing the role as a major media advocate:
Yeah I’ll pass on that Sean. But I did reread this where you admit to advising Trump https://t.co/VvuJyRqGD0 https://t.co/o7g4d3HMdR
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) September 7, 2016
Of course you will pass on watching the truth about my coverage, especially when you can “trust” the NYTimes https://t.co/qBFpAqgzyM

Sean bust out a logic textbook. The “oh noes” referred to you pretending to be some revered and feared enforcer. https://t.co/SN3SAzzWag
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) September 7, 2016
And where is the “logic” in you “sabotaging” the only person who can prevent HRC from making supreme ct appointments https://t.co/2yEhPkh2AL
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) September 7, 2016
See I actually believe in that line I heard somewhere “Fair and Balanced.” I’m a conservative, but I’m not a spinner https://t.co/YhyVwfp5Ph
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) September 7, 2016
No spin. Trump has a list of Supreme Ct justices, an energy plan, a tax plan, an immigration plan a refugee plan…. https://t.co/9sJfnxpz7y
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) September 7, 2016
My final tweet, as I have real work to do. If you choose to sabotage DT and HRC wins, then u will OWN the damage! https://t.co/9sJfnxpz7y
