Speaking during his opening monologue on ‘Hannity’ Wednesday night, Sean slammed the Democrats’ latest effort to remove President Trump from office; saying the White House refuses to “legitimize” the “illegitimate” impeachment inquiry.
“The insanity and rage on the left in America is reaching a fever pitch. Democrats are planning to overthrow the will of the American people and remove this President from office based on an outright lie,” said Hannity.
“This is another coup attempt. It’s an illegitimate, unconstitutional clown show. The Trump administration is fighting back hard and letting Democrats dig their own hole… The Trump administration will not participate or cooperate with this impeachment inquiry… We must not legitimize that which is illegitimate,” he added.
The White House refused to cooperate with Congressional Democrats latest impeachment investigation Wednesday; calling their efforts “unconstitutional” and dangerous for the future of the office.
“Your unprecedented actions have left the president with no choice,” said the letter signed by Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel. “In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the executive branch and all future occupants of the office of the presidency, President Trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.”
“The White House should be warned that continued efforts to hide the truth of the president’s abuse of power from the American people will be regarded as further evidence of obstruction,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said in a statement. “Mr. President, you are not above the law. You will be held accountable.”
The President slammed Congressional Democrats on social media, writing “The Do Nothing Democrats are Con Artists, only looking to hurt the Republican Party and President. Their total focus is 2020, nothing more, and nothing less. The good news is that WE WILL WIN!!!!”

“You are absolutely right Mr. President. We did win big and we worked hard for _his. We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills· and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections, it is true that these were unique elections,” said Ukrainian President Zelensky.
“The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son,. that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.
