Hannity Slams Pelosi For Prison Comment After Years Of “Lock Her Up” Chants At Trump’s Rallies [VIDEO]

Mediaite reports:

In his “Big Picture” segment, Fox News primetime host Sean Hannity blasted Congressional Democrats for pursuing impeachment and singled out Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her recent, private comments that she wanted to see President Donald Trump imprisoned after he leaves office.

“She wants a political opponent locked up in prison,” Hannity said in apparent disbelief. “That happens in banana republics, it’s beyond despicable behavior. They would turn the USA into a country we no longer recognize.”

Hannity’s outrage over the criminalization of politics strains credulity, to say the least. The president’s 2016 campaign notoriously made “lock her up” — a direct threat to imprison Hillary Clinton — one of its signature rallying cries.
