Look, we all know damn good and well that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are two peas in a pod. But it seems we’ve deteriorated to the point that even the most notable folks on the Right are proudly admitting to as much.
Recently, as his devastating invasion and attack against Ukraine continue to rage, Russian dictatorial President Vladimir Putin held a massive pro-war rally at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, and according to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, the Russian leader was pulling a page straight out of Donald Trump’s playbook.
“It looks like Vladimir Putin is channeling his inner Donald Trump,” said the Fox News talking head who’s relatively notorious for his close, personal friendship with the disgraced ex-president.
“He had a what looked like, it almost looked like ‘The Big House’ in Michigan. Their football stadium, I think, holds 110,000 people,” Hannity went on to add of Putin’s massive flag-waving rally in support of his violent war against Ukraine.

“By the way, if you didn’t show up you probably got in trouble,” the Fox host went on to say. “My only guess, I’m sure many people showed up just out of fear. That’s what authoritarianism is all about, and we should know that by now.”

Later on, during Hannity’s primetime Fox segment, he doubled-down, stating Putin’s “manufactured” rally was the dictator’s “best attempt to look like Donald Trump.” He went on to call Putin a “murderous thug” and called his war on Ukraine a “humiliating disaster.” Hannity also added that the Russian people were “required to attend the event… Unlike a Trump rally.”

Recently, Hannity has publicly called for Vladimir Putin to be removed “by whatever means necessary,” only to go on repeat a Kremlin statement that questioned President Joe Biden’s health.
“Now, like I’ve been saying, Biden’s weakness on the world stage, it is emboldening bad actors all across the globe,” Hannity said after he literally read the Kremlin remarks word-for-word. He claimed Biden and Democrats had “abandoned the peace-through-strength strategy that was successful” under Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan.
I’m not so sure you were supposed to say all of that out loud, Sean.
