This week he has been escalating his attacks on the Senate Republican Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell; the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan; the former Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain; and even New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte (the latter two engaged in tough reelection battles, made much tougher by Trump, who figures to lose both their states to Clinton).

Their inexcusable sin was to quibble with some of Trump’s more outrageous blurtings (banning Muslims, slagging off “Mexican” judges and the like), while loyally if painfully maintaining their support for the GOP standard-bearer.

These are all politicians, by the way, that Hannity cozied up to in the past, drawing them out in softball interviews that are more recognizable as infomercials than actual conversations.

He also has been rubbishing former 2016 candidates Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham, and Ted Cruz—longtime champions of the Republican cause who, in Hannity’s defense, have indeed withheld their endorsements from his fair-haired, combed-over hero.
