'In a perfect example of the Fox-Trump feedback loop, it turns out that many of the GOP questions yesterday came straight from Sean Hannity,' John Avlon said.
The CNN anchor then played a series of clips showing lawmakers questioning Mueller using talking points very similar to those suggested by Hannity, which Avlon deemed"lies and conspiracy theories."
Hannity had said during his evening television program that Republicans should ask about Mueller's friendship with former FBI Director James Comey. GOP Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas obliged. The Fox News host suggested that Mueller should be asked about the fairness of having Andrew Weissmann, a Democrat who supported former presidential candidate and Trump's political opponent Hillary Clinton, work on the investigation.
The opinion host also pointed to attorney Jeanie Rhee, who previously worked for the Clinton Foundation, and later worked as part of Mueller's team. Armstrong asked about her as well during the Thursday hearing. The right-wing host said Republicans should ask if the president has the legal right under the Constitution's Article II to fire a special counsel. A GOP congressman asked that question as well.
President Donald Trump greets talk show host Sean Hannity at a Make America Great Again rally in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on November 5, 2018"There were virtually no Republican questions dealing with the serious verified Russian attempts to influence our election to benefit Donald Trump," Avlon said."It's just the latest sign of how hyper-partisanship makes us unable to agree on basic facts.
