Hannity Just Urged His Viewers to Wear Masks After Pool Party Video Went Viral and People Think They Know Why

Hannity Just Urged His Viewers to Wear Masks After Pool Party Video Went Viral and People Think They Know Why
Fox News

President Donald Trump and far-right Fox News host Sean Hannity are close, to say the least.

Hannity's show functions as an arm of the President's media efforts to deceive his supporters into believing that only those who wholeheartedly adore Trump can be trusted. As recently as 2018, the pair frequently had long conversations nearly every night.


But things took an interesting turn on Tuesday.

That very afternoon, during an appearance in the Rose Garden, the President mocked a reporter for being "politically correct" by following CDC guidelines and wearing a face mask while in public. Trump's remark was a continuation of his frequent dismissal of the need for masks—which health experts say are crucial to preventing the spread of the virus from asymptomatic carriers to vulnerable populations.

Last week, Trump told the press he wouldn't give them "the pleasure" of seeing him in a mask. Even when announcing the new regulations last month, he specified that he didn't intend to wear one.

Given Trump's frequent skepticism of face masks, this segment from Hannity came as a surprise.

Watch below.

Hannity was addressing a recent video from Memorial Day weekend which showed massive crowds at Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks resort. The video went viral, prompting outrage at the hundreds of patrons who weren't socially distancing or wearing masks as the death toll from the virus edged closer to 100 thousand.

Hannity said:

"I understand these are young people. Experts keep saying over and over they're at a much lower risk...I see no social distancing. But if they get the virus and they're in contact with older more vulnerable Americans, that could be a disaster for others...Please wear the mask for your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa."

In the past, Hannity has frequently downplayed the threat of the virus, even calling it a hoax, so this segment had many wondering what prompted the change of heart.

Some think it comes down to a key voting demographic: seniors, whom are most vulnerable to the virus.

In the early stages of the outbreak in the United States, the President frequently dismissed the threat posed by the virus in hopes of not disrupting financial markets, and continued to botch the distribution of crucial medical equipment to affected states. Notable Republicans defending Trump made absurd statements in support of grandparents risking their lives in order to let their grandchildren go back to work.

Now, 43 percent of virus deaths have been in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

As a result, polls have shown a precipitous drop in support for Trump among seniors since the virus upended daily life. Quinnipiac shows Trump trailing presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 10 points among those 65 and older. An April poll from Fox News shows Trump trailing voters above 45 as well.

Is Hannity trying to shore up more support from seniors?








Regardless, Hannity's lack of fealty to Trump was out of character.



Hopefully, people will heed Hannity's warnings over the President's.

Trump Blasted After Military Scrubs WWII Navajo Code Talkers From Websites Due To 'DEI'

The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army have been widely criticized after they removed materials from their websites about the World War II Navajo Code Talkers, who from 1942 to 1945 played a crucial role in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific, using their unbreakable code to secure communications.

News outlets found that at least 10 articles about the Code Talkers had vanished from the U.S. Army and Department of Defense websites as of Monday. The Defense Department’s URLs had been modified to include the letters "DEI," indicating they may have been removed following President Trump’s executive order dismantling federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

MTG Gets Schooled By Holocaust Historian After Unfounded Claim About 'Nazis In Ukraine' In Resurfaced Clip

A resurfaced video from 2024 reminded social media users of the time Yale historian and best-selling author Dr. Timothy Snyder gave Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene a blunt fact-check after she touted the rise of "Nazis in Ukraine" during a recent congressional hearing.

The video is more relevant than ever following a contentious White House meeting last month between President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Vice President J.D. Vance. The meeting turned heated when Vance berated Zelenskyy, leading the Ukrainian president to leave without signing an agreement for U.S. security guarantees in exchange for access to Ukrainian rare earth minerals.
