'Yes Sir': Sean Hannity Took Direct Orders From Mark Meadows on Election Coverage

We all knew Sean Hannity was doing the bidding of the Trump administration. We found out Monday he was doing it literally.

CNN on Monday published a slew of text messages between Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and prominent Republican lawmakers and conservative figures — including Hannity. The Jan. 6 committee has already released several texts exchanged between Meadows and Hannity, but the ones released Monday are particularly striking, demonstrating just how firmly the White House had Hannity secured under its thumb.

“Hey. NC gonna be ok?” Hannity wrote Meadows last Nov. 3, asking whether Meadows’ home state of North Carolina was going to go to Trump.

“Stress every vote matters,” Meadows replied. “Get out and vote. On radio.”

but not sure I see what is wrong with prompting -- or whatever you call it -- people to get out an vote. Now, I don't doubt that WH told/suggested FOX folks say things that aren't as acceptable.

Saw Obama, Clinton, Biden aides saying the same thing on what I usually watch, CNN and MSNBC.
