Conservative talk radio host Sean Hannity deepened his growing rift with elected Republicans and other members of the conservative media with a Tuesday diatribe naming exactly who he would hold accountable if his candidate, Donald Trump, loses the White House.
“You own Hillary Clinton. National Review, you own it. Glenn Beck, you own it. Ted Cruz, you own it,” Hannity said on his radio show, as quoted by Business Insider. “She wins, I’m blaming all of you.”
“Yeah, I’m going to name names,” he added. “I’m not sitting here and wimping out.”
Hannity went on to say he would hold Trump’s former 2016 rivals, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), accountable for a Clinton win, before tearing into “the Jonah Goldberg class” of pundits and Glenn Beck, who he said is waging a “holy war” on the GOP nominee.
“So here’s what I say to all of you Never Trumpers — Glenn Beck, I hope you’re listening. You own Hillary Clinton’s Supreme Court appointments. You own it! You are doing everything you can do to cast doubt in people’s minds!” he said.
Hannity continued: “Arrogant, stubborn, lying about what Trump has said and [Trump’s] record. Purposefully distorting, creating doubt, misperception — and you’re so obsessed, some of you with Trump, you don’t even go over how corrupt Hillary is!”
It was far from the first time that Hannity took the GOP establishment crew to task for opposing Trump. Earlier this month, he added House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to the list, saying he was getting “sick and tired” of all of them.

I listened to this rant on the way home from work yesterday. This guy has been in the tank for Trump since day one, despite what he claims. He lies and his listeners lick it up like pablum. I realize that I’m dumber each day for listening to him. He’s like a car wreck, even worse than Rush Limbaugh. This is the next BillO, but of TrumpTV.
I think the Never-Trumpers feel better about that than owning anything Trump would have done.
Hannity: No matter what I say, I will gladly support Kasich/Cruz/OtherMorons for president, should they elect to do so at any time (now or future).
Doesn’t Hannity own it for helping get Trump the nomination when he had no chance of winning?
Geez, between the high-order GOP’ers who have come over to Hillary, and this list that Hannity calls traitors to Trump, is there anyone left in the GOP who supports Trump (except Hannity himself)?
