Sean Hannity Downplays Democratic Victories: Dems ‘Winning the House Is Meaningless’
Sean Hannity is downplaying the projections from multiple networks, including his own, that the Democrats will win the House of Representatives.
Hannity was very vocal in the weeks leading up to the election about Republicans needing to get out and vote to beat back the radical Democratic agenda, though he did concede that the Democrats might win the House.
And now that they have, he has tweeted that it is “meaningless”:
MOST in the media are absolutely clueless-tonight was a massive win 4 DJT & the ppl he campaigned 4-remember btwn the House & Senate Obama lost 69 seats, Clinton lost 60 seats-the democrats winning the house is meaningless – stay tuned for my analysis on radio & TV. Great night.

Hannity had been billed by the Trump campaign as a “special guest” at his final rally last night. Hannity took to Twitter to say definitively, “To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President.”
SMASH CUT TO
Fox News said in a statement today the “unfortunate distraction” has been addressed internally, and Hannity tweeted out Trump inviting him on stage was totally impromptu:
What I said in my tweet yesterday was 100% truthful. When the POTUS invited me on stage to give a few remarks last night, I was surprised, yet honored by the president’s request. This was NOT planned.

To be clear, I was not referring to my journalist colleagues at FOX News in those remarks. They do amazing work day in and day out in a fair and balanced way and It is an honor to work with such great professionals.
