In the continuing saga of conservatives versus Taylor Swift, Fox News personality and friend of Donald, Sean Hannity, has stepped up to the plate.
But rather than take the approach of most of his contemporaries—attacking the singer and songwriter—Hannity decided to enlighten Swift.
Peering into the camera and affecting his most condescending tone, Hannity said:
"As the Biden campaign apparently tries to come up with some way to get Taylor Swift’s endorsement, now we have to ask, does Taylor knows who she is getting involved with here?"
Hannity made certain to include the usual Republican rhetoric and dogwhistles.
"Does Taylor actually realize that the Soroses, they’re huge donors to left-wing and Democratic causes?"
"Does Taylor realize the guy that they want her to endorse is a kind of stumbling, bumbling mess, doesn’t have the energy to give a 30 minute speech, let alone perform a three hour concert like she does?"
"He also is kind of very creepy. She may want to check out those creepy videos, they’re online."
Hannity might need to do his own online search on his buddy Trump’s "creepy" history.
But he had more to mansplain to Swift about how misunderstood the Republican Party is.
"Or maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they are 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 abortion with no exceptions."
"If she believes all that, she is believing a lie, because those talking points are simply untrue."
If Swift believes all that, she's probably paid attention to the words and deeds of the GOP and conservatives, but calling the truth fake news is also part of the conservative playbook.
Hannity concluded:
"Now, I’m just saying, maybe she wants to think twice before making a decision about 2024."

@Acyn Trump\u2019s willing to treat his fellow Americans like mortal enemies. He\u2019s the most divisive character in American history. He\u2019s an effective vehicle for Putin\u2019s aim of destroying the nation. He\u2019s dividing and conquering us and his followers have no idea they live inside a giant lie— (@)
@Acyn Attacking Taylor Swift is like drinking salt water because you\u2019re thirsty. I understand this is what the Republican base loves because it makes them feel good, but it\u2019s counterproductive. They don\u2019t understand the power they\u2019re messing with. She\u2019s like a one woman super PAC.— (@)

Taylor Swift has not responded to Hannity's lesson.
