Recently Named in Hearings, Sean Hannity Now Saying Some Events of 1/6 Were Staged (LISTEN)

During Monday’s 1/6 Commission hearing, Liz Cheney read text messages sent to Mark Meadows that day. Some of those texts came from Fox hosts such as Laura Ingraham, Brian Kilmeade and Sean Hannity.

Hannity asked the former Chief of Staff if Trump could “make a statement,” and “ask people to leave the Capitol.” When his show was broadcast last night, though, the Fox host failed to address the texts.

On Tuesday’s radio show, Hannity did address criticism over his reaction to the insurrection. “Now let me go to TV,” he began. “My show, the night of January 6th, and again, all I’m saying here is pretty much everything I said in the summer of 2020. To be consistent is not really that hard in life. You know, rioting is wrong, period, end of sentence. And I believe in law and I believe in order, and I believe that, in peace and security, and safety and security for every American.”

The Fox host then began pushing conspiracy theories, remarking:

“Now, do I think there were some people, based on the reports, that there were people that had staged certain things? Yeah, I think that’s true too. But anyway, we’ll see — we’ll see what this ultimately comes out with, but I’m telling you, it’s a predetermined outcome. Now, the allegation is, well, Hannity’s inconsistent here. I’m not inconsistent at all. Because I said it all throughout the rioting in 2020.”
