The first is fake.

Ish.

It’s Jimmy Kimmel running Sean Hannity’s devastating criticism of Joe Biden — but with clips of Trump.

Devastating, indeed.

The second — 100% real — starts (after a brief ad) about a minute in, where Hannity asks Trump whether Putin’s actions in Ukraine are evil.

The next three […]

Dana Dlott: “It’s time for everybody to agree we are not going to convert our economy to one that produces so little greenhouse gas that a disaster can be avoided.  Telling people to eat less meat or ride […]
