NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In a recent press conference, Joe Biden walked away with his earpiece still intact, and Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, posted a clip of the incident on Twitter.
Off late, a majority of Hannity’s coverage on ‘Hannity Special,’ as well as his Twitter and website includes the POTUS and his son, Hunter Biden. After Hannity took to Twitter with this particular video of Biden, he received severe backlash from the internet.
The internet refused to find Hannity’s tweet about Biden “amusing” as the Fox News anchor jests about POTUS forgetting to take off his earpiece before he walked away from the press conference.

Joe Biden’s supporters have come to his defense after Hannity’s tweet as one person wrote, “More pressing things on his mind? That never happens to you. He’s not even thinking about the performance. A working guy. #Biden,” and another said, “I don't find this amusing, making fun of old people with health problems which are quite common is unacceptable Sean.”

Hannity has also been labeled “pathetic” by some as one person tweeted, “When I used to listen to you before Trump waddled in, you used to always complain that lefty's were sitting in their mom's basement in their underwear listening to every word you said, hoping you'd flub. Now that's basically what you're reduced to. Pathetic, Sean, PATHETIC!”
