Sean Hannity to attend Obama’s State of the Union Address with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
Dallas Morning News
The guest list for President Obama’s upcoming State of the Union address just got more interesting.
Yesterday, Sean Hannity said he’d be attending as a guest of Rep. Louie Gohmert. Hannity is a conservative pundit for Fox News. He’s had Gohmert, an outspoken critic of Obama, on his show a number of times. The Tyler Republican has even filled in hosting Hannity’s show on a few occasions.
Turns out, Hannity may have his own political ambitions in the Lone Star state.
“The answer is yes, I’d think about it,” Hannity said when a viewer asked via Twitter about his inclination to run for office eventually. “It would either be in Texas or Florida.” Hannity, who has indicated he’s leaving what he calls “anti-conservative” New York, later contrasted the state with Texas.
“How does Texas have a $12 billion surplus when they’re in debt up to their eyeballs in Albany?” he asked. He indicated Texas and Florida’s lack of income tax were appealing lures.
Other Texas conservatives have also invited high-profile guests to the president’s big speech. Rep. Steve Stockman has invited Chad Henderson, the former Obama volunteer who told reporters in October about his success signing up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Later, he revealed he did not actually enroll.
Wild Thing’s comment..…………
Obama hates Sean and Fox so this has got to be ticking him off. LOL
I might even try to stomach this Obama State of the Union Address. Going to be interesting watching him as he knows Hannity is in the audience glaring at him the whole time.
Louie Gohmert is a real fireball. While many other Repub(Rinos) house members voted Boehner as Speaker, Louie cast his vote for Newt Gingrich as a protest against cry baby Boehner.
