Fox News pundit Sean Hannity warned fellow host Geraldo Rivera that his mic was hot Tuesday night after Rivera was heard calling Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “so annoying” before the network broadcast the senator’s victory speech.
“We’re just going to dip in real quick and watch the socialist, Bernie Sanders, step up to the microphone,” Hannity said during the network’s election coverage. “There he is. You know, ‘to each according to his need, from each according to his ability.’”
“So annoying! The guy is so annoying!” Rivera said after the video feed had switched to Sanders’ live speech.
“Your mic is hot! What are you saying?!” Hannity said with a laugh.
Rivera didn’t seem to mind. “I believe he’s so annoying! People who think his supporters are going to Trump are smoking dope!” he said as Hannity laughed heartily in the background.
The Fox News panel descended into confusion, with each member heard speaking over each other, with some talking about polls and others laughing.
The network went on to broadcast a 30-second clip of Sanders’ speech after winning the West Virginia primary.
Watch the clip via Raw Story:
Rivera-He’s so annoying!
Hannity- Shhhhhhh! (scream whispers-Gerry, there’s still hope Democrats’ll nominate him. Can it, he’s our only hope!)
Greeaattt…now you’ve made me imagine Bernie in Jedi robes…
Unfortunately, the state of WVA last night really put the lie to the idea that Sanders is just SO appealing that he could beat Rump in the General.
This is what he’s come down to: being used by the opposition.
Anyone still question that Bernie Sanders won’t be pummeled in a general election scenario? The RWNJs haven’t even begun to throw nails at Sanders like they’ve been doing to Clinton over the last few decades. Sanders has been handled with kid gloves up to now for a reason, folks – they SO want a general election where Sanders is the Democratic nominee.
Jerry Rivers calling someone annoying? Isn’t that the douchebag calling the bidet white.
