Sean Hannity Begs Taylor Swift To Become A Republican

Fox News host Sean Hannity is taking a different approach to the Taylor Swift phenomenon than the rest of his party. While most conservatives are trying to claim that Swift is a psyop for the government, Hannity decided to beg Swift to join Team Republican. But in his pitch, he lied his face off about what the Republican Party actually stands for. Republicans are going to make Swift into a major campaign issue this year, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

While most of the Republican party this week has been busy accusing Pop Star Taylor Swift of being some kind of government psyop designed to brainwash millions of young Americans into becoming Democrats. Fox News host Sean Hannity has a different approach. Hannity, unlike some of his colleagues at his own network, is not out there saying that Taylor Swift is secretly working for the government and, you know, trying to brainwash people and to be liberals. Instead, Hannity is trying to convince Taylor Swift to come on over and join the Republican team, right? Because that's what Fox News is, recruiting people to become Republicans. And I think we have to take a second to just let that part sink in too. Okay? We, we have a network, uh, the most watched cable news network in the country that their most popular host is out there begging an individual to become a Republican.

That how, how is this even a, like, how are we allowed to even have that? How is Fox News allowed to be regulated as a media company instead of as a political party or a political action committee? Right? At this point, they, somebody, somebody somewhere needs to file the lawsuit and argue, which I don't think it's a difficult argument to make that Fox News does not act as a media entity, which gets way, way, way more protections. And instead is a political group. You could call it a think tank. You could call it a political action committee if you want, but either way, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party and it needs to be regulated as such. But here is what Hannity said to try to convince Taylor Swift to join Team Elephant. Maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they're racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic and Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water and a total ban on all abortions with no exceptions. If she believes all that, she is believing a lie.

No. Nope. That is, that is pretty much everything the Republican party stands for, Sean, and you know that, by the way. Hell, you basically just gave us the entire lineup for a day's programming at Fox News, right? Uh, racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, ban abortions, dirty air and water. Like isn't that the daily schedule of Fox News programming? I'm pretty sure it is. And you're like, she's believing a lie. Your party has literally said they wanna ban all abortions. They've made that abundantly clear. Your party has continuously fought against any kind of regulations to clean up the air or water or soil in this country. You left that part out. Um, your party is openly homophobic and

Transphobic. We, we just got a law here in Florida that says transgender individuals can't change their, uh, uh, uh, sex on their driver's license. If they do, they go to jail. That's, that's transphobic. You've got laws banning books that even mention the word gay. So that's homophobic Islamophobic. Y'all are calling for all out war right now on people with different colored skin than you over in the Middle East. The racism and the sexism, my God, that's just the daily bre. I mean, hell, racism and sexism go through the o your own internal documents of Fox News and you find it all there, Sean. So don't sit there and act like Taylor Swift is believing a lie. She's believing the truth.
