Hannity Fires Back: ‘I Can No Longer Remain Silent and I Can No Longer Let the Left’s Slander Against Me Slide’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HANNITY: I’ve worked for radio for 30 years. I’ve been at Fox News for 21.5 years and during this time, there’ve always been efforts and attempts to smear and slander and besmirch me and other conservatives but it has never been as intense and completely insane as it is right now. I want you to understand, every single minute, every single second I am on the air, radio TV, there is somebody likely being paid, recording and monitoring every single word that comes out of my mouth all in the hopes that I may see something they can twist and distort and use against me and try to destroy my reputation and get my conservative voice out the air. It has only gotten worse in the age of President Trump. It’s no secret I have been in support of the president and policies. These liberal fascists cannot stand conservative voices. I have a pretty thick skin. I call out people, I say things I give my point of view hours a day, and for all these years, there has been an unrelenting attack against me but in light of recent events I’ve come to the conclusion that I can no longer remain silent and I can no longer let the left slander against me slide. So from now on, I want you to be informed of what I am doing and why I’m doing it. If there’s any person or group or any organization, any media outlet that slanders, lies about me, besmirch as me and my character, I will be calling them out. At this point, enough is enough. I have hired some of the best attorneys in this country to work with me and on my behalf. The breaking point came this weekend when an individual for over a decade has made the most outrageous, unfair, untrue allegations against me has now resurfaced by resurfaced by making ridiculous and completely untrue claims."
