Apparently, Sean Hannity just can’t stand it that a white guy like Curt Schilling is being vilified while a strong black woman like Beyoncé is being lionized.
During his radio show Monday, Hannity said the following:
HANNITY: I feel so bad for Curt Schilling. Oh, Curt Schilling raised the question of transgendered bathrooms, now he’s fired from ESPN. Oh, isn’t that nice? Remember the great role model, Beyoncé? As described as a role model, friend of Barack and Michelle Obama? Oh, the role model is now smashing to smithereens, you know, different sets that she’s on.
[…]President Obama said at a fundraiser, “She couldn’t be a better role model for my girls because she carries herself with such class and poise and has so much talent.” Oh, the Beyoncé that just did the anti-cop video—that one? Do you really want your daughters dressing like Beyoncé? I don’t think so. Or any rock and roll star for that matter. Or any pop culture figure for that matter. Anyway the president – you know, her new video from the visual album “Lemonade” shows the queen of pop smashing dozens of cars and other objects to smithereens with a baseball bat. Now isn’t that nice? Isn’t that great? What a great way to raise your kids.
Of course, Curt Schilling didn't "raise the question of transgendered bathrooms." He used an offensive cartoon to smear those who object to North Carolina's HB2 "bathroom law."
But I guess if only Beyoncé had made an album telling President Obama to “suck on my machine gun” or calling Hillary Clinton a “worthless b****” who should “ride into the sunset” on a machine gun, she’d be just the kind of role model Hannity could get behind. Or maybe if she had threatened armed insurrection against the U.S. government, Beyoncé could really be a Hannity hero.

Hannocchio: Anyway the president – you know, her new video from the visual album “Lemonade” shows the queen of pop smashing dozens of cars and other objects to smithereens with a baseball bat.
The Express is confused with “Anyway the president-you know, her new video from the visual album…” This type of talk is common with Hannocchio. When he gives speeches it’s a challenge trying to understand him. His speeches are all over the map. He will jump from one topic to another in mid-sentence. Groups that pay this old hawk’s speaking fees are wasting their money.
NOTE TO HANNITY
We highly, highly doubt you would defend Curt Schilling if he was terminated from Fox “News.” You would be silent as a mouse.
