All across the nation and around the globe, millions of people have taken to the streets in protest of police brutality and systemic racism in the United States after George Floyd’s blatant murder in the streets of Minneapolis, by a white police officer with too much power, served as the proverbial straw to break the camel’s back.
It’s been a terrifying, heartbreaking, beautiful thing to watch as so many people literally risks their lives, whether it be from the pandemic that’s still raging or the egotistical police force that’s out in droves now, to demand that not only justice be served but reform is seen.
There is absolutely no doubt that this movement will go down in history books.
But Sean Hannity wants you to know that cops are mean to Donald Trump too.

During a segment on Fox News, Trump’s BFF Hannity declared with no basis that Donnie is a victim of “crooked cops” too.
The Fox host kicked things off by stating that he wouldn’t compare Trump’s experiences to that of George Floyd’s but then turned around and did just that as he harped on a “deep state” conspiracy theory that’s popular among the GOP, accusing the FBI of trying to undermine Donald’s 2016 campaign.
“Even the president himself ― it’s not the same thing as what happened to George Floyd ― but it’s horrific,” Hannity said. “He was a victim of crooked cops.”
Hannity then repeated that it wasn’t the same as Floyd’s murder, only to turn around and double down on his claims of Trump’s victimhood yet again.
“I’m not making any comparison,” Hannity can be heard saying in a clip posted to social media by the progressive watchdog organization Media Matters. “A bad cop is a bad cop, and by all means, the damage was real to the country.”

To wrap up his show, Hannity tripled down on his comparison that he said wasn’t a comparison when he aired a clip of an interview featuring Attorney General Bill Barr.
“There’s no comparison in the case,” he said. “Very different circumstances, I’m not comparing them.”

Could somebody please clue this guy in on the definition of a comparison? Because this is getting old quick.
