Sean Hannity Concocts an Excuse for Trump to Chicken Out of Debate with Biden<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are all great messages leading up to the next debate between Trump and his new opponent, Vice-President Harris. That is, if Trump bothers to show up. Although he had already agreed to the September 10 date, he has more recently been backpedaling with lame excuses as to why he might skip the debate. And nothing affirms strong character like running away from an opponent that you are obviously are afraid of.<\/p>\n<p>Cue Sean Hannity of Fox News. On Wednesday night Hannity rushed to try to bail Trump out by providing him with an opening to ditch the debate entirely. He began by bashing ABC News as a dishonest network with unfair journalists. Which is textbook projection on Hannity&#8217;s part because that&#8217;s how Fox News is known to the rest of the world. He continued saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s time for Trump to reject any appearance at ABC. For example, why would he show up at their debate if these &#8216;journalists&#8217; clearly have opinion want to debate Trump themselves? Maybe he should just accept the Fox News Channel&#8217;s offer to debate?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hannity suggesting that Trump should use today to back out of the debate on ABC: Why would he show up their debate if the journalists clearly have opinion want to debate Trump themselves <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pnJNlGB9mU\">pic.twitter.com\/pnJNlGB9mU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1818815613986652251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Of course! Because Fox News doesn&#8217;t have any <em>&#8220;journalists&#8221;<\/em> with opinions, do they? All kidding aside, Hannity&#8217;s proposal is just an attempt to grease the skids for Trump to chicken out. Convicted felon Trump is noticeably nervous about the prospect of facing former prosecutor Harris. It&#8217;s why his entire campaign is narrowly focused on infantile insults and flagrant lies, rather than any substantive, policy-driven criticism.<\/p>\n<p>Harris recently challenged Trump directly saying that <em>&#8220;If you&#8217;ve  got something to say, say it to my face.&#8221;<\/em> Trump replied by saying that he would <em>\u201cprobably\u201d<\/em> debate <em>&#8220;but I can also make a case for not doing it.&#8221;<\/em> Well, now Hannity has helped him to make that case. Although Hannity&#8217;s help is a pitifully weak effort that consists of baseless claims about ABC&#8217;s fairness, and a self-serving pitch for Fox News to get the hosting privileges. Perhaps Hannity will propose himself and Kayleigh McEnany as moderators.<\/p>\n<p>With the debate only six weeks away, Trump is going to have to make a decision soon. Rest assured that his decision will be based on the level of his fear. Will he be too afraid to go head-to-head with Harris? Or will be too afraid to look scared by dodging her? Those are his choices. And he is surely clawing the faux-gold wallpaper at Mar-a-Lago today trying to make up what&#8217;s left of his mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62392\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Unleashes a Flaming Freak Out Vilifying Fox News for Not Censoring his Foes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62363\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pete Buttigieg Gives a Master Class on Truth-Telling About Trump on Fox News Sunday<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62317\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News is Officially an Arm of Chinese State Media, Regurgitating its Attacks on Kamala Harris<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever Donald Trump makes the mistake of displaying his true nature as a hate mongering ignoramous, he can rely on Fox News to come to his rescue with an adoring spin cycle to whitewash what ever rancid rhetoric he glibly unloaded at one of cult rallies or during a Nerfball interview on some other MAGA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37347,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[152,1,684,1200,16],"tags":[554,1140,33,1357,129],"class_list":["post-62423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-election","category-general","category-media-bias","category-politics","category-wankery","tag-donald-trump","tag-election","tag-fox-news","tag-kamala-harris","tag-sean-hannity"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4Ijg-geP","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":62655,"url":"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62655","url_meta":{"origin":62423,"position":0},"title":"Halfwit Hannity Helps Kamala Harris to Expose the &#8216;Trump Taxes&#8217; that Will &#8216;Devastate Americans&#8217;","author":"Mark NC","date":"8\/17\/2024","format":false,"excerpt":"Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party has been struggling desperately to find an effective response to the newly invigorated Democratic campaign for president, led by Vice-President Kamala Harris and Gov.
