NEW YORK — Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity has emerged as an unexpected critic of the Minneapolis police for their actions in the Memorial Day death ofHannity spent more than 15 minutes on his Fox show Wednesday replaying video of a Minneapolis officer who knelt on the neck of the 46-year-old Floyd, who had been taken into custody on suspicion of passing a counterfeit bill.
His coverage stood out among Fox’s prime-time opinion hosts, where colleagues Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham focused on violent protests that erupted in Minneapolis following Floyd’s death. They were also unusual for Hannity, who describes himself as “a big supporter of law enforcement.”Hannity, for example, supported a New York grand jury that declined to indict a New York police officer in the 2014 chokehold death of Eric Garner who, like Floyd, was caught on video saying “I can’t breathe.
“We believe in the presumption of innocence,” Hannity said. “But I can also say, looking at the videotape, the videotape doesn’t lie. And putting somebody’s knee on somebody else’s neck is extraordinarily hurtful and dangerous.”
this tweet needs to be fact checked !
Don't be fooled. seanhannity & realDonaldTrump et al are co-opting the cause to seem sympathetic, palatable to black people. They want to be seen as the heroes in this case. The law & order folks. Their rhetoric, in part, causes things like this to happen. DumpTrump2020
Hahahaha wow! Pinocchio could tell a lie better.
From a person that sided with Trump in Charlottesville killing saying there were good people on both sides. Murder is murder. Without protests nothing gets done Scotus

Here’s an example of white people saying they’re “offended and angry” only because it’s the “popular” thing to do in the moment. By Monday, Hannity will be back to hating black people

Stop lying Sean.
Print the whole statement . He’s upset it was video taped?
Is this why trump is turning to OANN?
It wasn’t lack of training this officer hid their action behind the police car but someone took a video of what he was hiding this officer deliberately killed this man then made sure he died
IS HE FINALLY LOOKING FOR HIS SOUL THAT HE HAS SEEMED TO HAVE STORED IN A DARK CLOSET FOR A TIME? SHALL SEE, NOT CONVINCED...
We watched a man die right in front of our eyes. The citizens were unable to act bc the other officers were standing guard while he was suffocated. If you’re not affected by seeing this you don’t have a conscience.
Welcome to reality!
Wow !
Kap wasn’t protesting anything he was getting attention and making himself rich at the expense of those he claims to be protesting for
seanhannity needs to call out trump on his behavior and convince other FoxNews anchors to do the same thing.
My answer.
I think what seanhannity is really trying to say is the existence of such a tape is devastating to him. Gone are the days when racists could gleefully kill unarmed black men in secret. Poor Sean is lamenting the loss of that coveted freedom, and he gets angry thinking about it.
Even a broken clock like hannity can have the correct time twice a day! seanhannity made go points, but shameful police acting worse than in Iraq. Hiring and training the problem! Stop adopting WarTime training military techniques! Police “To Serve & Protect! NeverDie in cuffs!
Who cares what he thinks. Major but head
Can someone explain to me how this is different from Eric Garner? B/c it seems like exactly the same action, with exactly the same result, but the KKK is treating them differently. I don’t get it. 🤷♀️
Its sad to see that this has turned into a left vs. right issue and not a police vs. citizen issue. All thanks to the media and social networking
Hmm, Republicans learn they’re drastically losing the African American vote, and now Trump, Hannity & Limbaugh all race to their mics to voice uncharacteristic sympathy for George Floyd. Btw Bob Kroll, Minneapolis’ Police Union head, sells “Cops For Trump” shirts at Trump rallies
You are a fan of Trump and his tactics. You egged him on, and was critical of the press when they would try to put out the truth about him. You did it because you didn't want to be the next victim on Donald's hit list. You're a coward and have NO legs with this. 😡 Hannity
YOU MEAN THE POLITICAL PAID HACK SEAN HANNITY AND HIS $36,000,000.,00 PAY CHECK..YEAH SEAN HANNITY WILL SAY ANYTHIGN THE BILLIONAIRES PAY HIM TO SAY.
FAKE NEWS! seanhannity 's entire comment was, 'The tape, to me is devastating. I watch it, I get angrier every time. Why the hell is anyone allowed to videotape the private activities of our heroic police?'
NicoleConant Hannity is mimicking his boss in the White House. It is ok to feign compassion in small matters which don’t cost their multi billionaire puppeteers any profit margin. When compassion costs $, as COVID has, they stop at no deception! REMEMBER: MONEY TRUMPS ALL (no pun intended)!
Кто виноват в этом?
Don't worry he will backstab America when you least expect it
morgfair Where is the real Hannity?😲🙄😳🧐🤪
FOX News is gonna fire him. That was NOT in his script!!
NicoleConant This is coming from a man who spread outright lies to people about a science and disease he knew nothing about?! Hannity should be jailed for his part in the deception which is still killing people by reinforcing the ignorance in the minds of the MAGA and Q drones!
Trump’s condoning of militant, armed protestors and his willingness to incite an anarchistic form of resolution to issues inevitably and without doubt creates a national culture which precipitates violence and oppression of minorities.
You can tell we’re coming up on an election in GOP land.
seanhannity really? You enable a guy that makes speeches like this everyday. What exactly did you think the consequences might be?!?
seanhannity : GFY‼️ 🖕🏼
He’s given up. Prepping for ripping Biden in 2021.
What makes me angry is the lady that is strangling her dog. That makes my blood boil. 😡😡
morgfair Give Sean Hannity credit where credit is due. Though I am often a staunch critic of Hannity, I must take this moment and thank him for standing up and speaking out in criticism of the police abuse of force.
When you live in this country as long as I have when trouble starts you look at who benefits and we all know what's going on, it's sickening. How much longer can we are allowed stupidity to control our country.
I smell a rat here (potus striped one)
Well, he helped elect the Man, the Antichrist like figure, Trump, who has eroded race relations in this country to the lows we saw in the 60’s and earlier. Hannity will go down as the Trump Admins Joseph Goebbels
Maybe Hanny is slowly growing up and growing a set.
Really? Really?
greggutfeld marklevinshow Oh arent we being a little dramatic? Really piss poor USATODAY...!!
morgfair seanhannity Your blatant insincerity won’t save you from yourself. Happy lawsuits for those Covid deaths
morgfair Sure.
morgfair So he finally found his soul?
I’m sure that he is angry that it was caught on video, not because of what happened.
Sean Hannity helped bring that devil into the White House.
NOW YOU SEE DOMESTIC TERRORISM BEING ENFORCED BY COPS AND TRUMP SUPPORTERS IN THE NAME OF RACISM THAT TRUMP LEADS AND PROMOTES?
The full scene: SeanHannity
What the fuck is Hannity doing? This is the second time in a week he is saying something true. Is he the good cop to Trump's bad cop? WTF?
He'll be back to normal tomorrow.
Ok, what did they do with the real Hannity?
I bet his view on this tape probably is the opposite !
They knew each other the victim and the murder they worked together.
dfsparks Wait a day, he’ll change his tune.
Wait til seanhannity sees the 2 new videoes proving the cop pinning down Floyd NEVER had to.
See, he's not such a bad guy after all!!
Doesn’t matter what side your on, we are humans, and when we see a monster attacking a fellow human, we get pissed.
