STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
Sean Hannity to Julian Assange: ‘You’ve Done Us a Favor’
“America owes you a debt of gratitude,” Hannity said, concluding their friendly chat. “We hope you come on [my TV show] soon.”
Hannity is, at least, self-aware about how much of a flip-flop it was for him to morph into a Julian Assange super-fan during the 2016 presidential race.
Six years ago, Hannity accused Assange of “waging war against the U.S.” by publishing secret diplomatic cables that he said put American lives in “jeopardy” and “danger” all over the world. The Fox star asked why the Obama administration hadn’t “arrested” Assange, wondering, why “we can stop pirating music and Hollywood movies, but we can’t stop this guy from stealing highly classified documents that puts people’s lives at risk?”
Now that Assange is more widely known for being anti-Hillary, it seems, Hannity is ever-willing to let bygones be bygones.
