Fox News’ Sean Hannity went off during his first show after a midterm election massacre of Republicans, giving the unpopular Iran war his full-throated support and calling Senate-elect Abdul El-Sayed “crazy.”

Hannity → go → Sayed
In what is being dubbed a “blue tsunami,” Democrats picked up key Senate seats in reliably red states, helping them take control of the next Congress — and they even made some historic wins in governors’ races.
asserted
they → dub → races
“We’ll just call you crazy, because you are,” Hannity said on his primetime show Wednesday in a retort to El-Sayed’s taunting of the Trump administration.

When El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat from Michigan, became the first Muslim to be elected to the Senate Tuesday, he told President Donald Trump in his victory speech, “I know you struggle with my name, so after [Vice President] JD [Vance] swears me in in January, you can just go on and call me senator.”
asserted
you → become → me
Hannity said, without mentioning the blatant attacks Trump threw at El-Sayed while campaigning for his Republican opponent Mike Rogers, raged, “Now, forget the old niceties: ‘Oh, let’s just work together for the people in my state, for the good of the country’ — no.
asserted
’s → say → country
Those days are gone.”

During a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, late last month, Trump demanded that El-Sayed go through metal detectors at the U.S. Capitol building if he were to get elected.

he → demand → building
“I’m here to keep a Jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator,” Trump said, adding that El-Sayed “would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate.”
asserted
he → ’m → Senate
El-Sayed has vehemently denied any ties to the Islamist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood.
asserted
Sayed → deny → Brotherhood
After insulting El-Sayed, Hannity backed Trump’s war against Iran, which has been credited with playing a major role in Republicans’ crushing defeat after the conflict sent gas prices soaring.
asserted
prices → insult → defeat
“The Iran war — yes, I absolutely stand by.
asserted
I → stand → ?
It was the right call to prevent the Iranians, the radical No. 1 state sponsor of terror, from getting nuclear weapons,” Hannity said.

Hannity → prevent → weapons
But Hannity did admit that the eight-month-long war has caused a headache for Americans at the pump.
asserted
war → admit → pump
“Unfortunately, after that decision was made, there was some indecisiveness, and it prevented a quick-lasting outcome, and as a result, Americans did suffer by paying higher energy prices,” the Fox News host continued.
asserted
host → make → prices
“Democrats drove a truck through that.
asserted
Democrats → drive → that
It’s time now to fix that problem.”

Hannity made clear he is going to extremes, like leaving the country now that the Democrats have the majority in Congress.

“I’ve made my choice.

“And Donald Trump, he’s still the president, and the radicals in D.C. have the most powerful check-and-balance that they’re going to have to deal with day in and day out.”
asserted
they → ’ → that
"My message tonight is 'All hands on deck, stay away from circular firing squads, finger-pointing, blame, allow Democrats to show their true colors as they are now doing, have real answers on the other side,” Hannity added.
asserted
Hannity → stay → side
Trump, who spent all of last month hosting near-daily rallies to drum up support from his base and tell his supporters to pretend he was on the ballot, has done everything but blame himself for the GOP shellacking.
asserted
he → spend → shellacking
In his first public appearance since the midterm losses, Trump stood where his multi-million-dollar White House ballroom is being built and talked construction.
“This is the safest place in Washington,” Trump said as he discussed one of his unwelcome pet projects.
asserted
he → stand → projects
“It’s good for me.
asserted
It → ’ → me
Trump suggested in a phone call to Fox News as the election results rolled in that he is willing to work with Democrats where he could, but would remain uncompromising on immigration and transgender policies.
uncertain
he → suggest → policies
“The power of veto is one of the stronger powers that a president has, and they'll send over things that are insane, and I'll veto them,” he said.
