Sean Hannity Suggests Hillary Was Drunk At Rally

Business Insider reports:

Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday shared a conspiracy theory with his 1.7 million Twitter followers which baselessly alleged that Hillary Clinton was drunk at a rally last week. “God help us,” Hannity wrote on Twitter, retweeting the account “MicroSpookyLeaks,” which claimed “Secret Service says Hillary was drunk” in video taken of the October 27 event.

Hannity later claimed in tweets that he only found the video amusing and wasn’t actually trying to further the conspiracy theory. But Hannity has promoted a similar theory in the past. His website featured a story on Friday citing a hacked email published by WikiLeaks about Clinton needing to “sober … up.”

A Fox News spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In recent days, far-right blogs have moved to suggest that Clinton has a drinking problem. Most prominently, the Drudge Report featured a collage of photos showing the former secretary of state consuming alcohol.
