It’s amusing to see just how delicate right-wing gasbags are when it comes to anyone who dares criticize their political god, President Donald Trump. And none are as quite as hysterical and downright pathetic than Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Once again Hannity is objecting to a production of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. In the play, now being performed at the The Public Theater in New York City. And since the figure of Caesar is assassinated in the play, and that character looks like Trump, Sean thought he’d try to make a point of comparison with President Obama:
Now if there was a play that killed an Obama look alike every night and people protested, would u call that stupid? This hate is disgusting https://t.co/T0UwRRlrQJ

One small problem with that, however: In 2012, the Gilbert Theater staged Julius Caesar and the lead was a black actor who resembled Obama.
As Homer Simpson might say: D’oh!
Twitter gave Hannity a history lesson, and they were not gentle with the Fox News daffodil:

I heard that awful Shakespeare dude has another HORRIBLY anti-Trump play out called Romeo &Juliet. Super bigly bad.

There was such a version of Julius Caesar and liberals didn't care. Try again, Sean. cc @benshapiro https://t.co/gmAf2vG6uw

There was. They did. In 2012. Did you say anything? I'm assuming from this tweet you didn't even know about it.

There was and people were grown up enough to deal with it.

Do you have any integrity?
This play already was done WITH an Obama look alike but you don't care about the truth, do you? #FAKENEWS— The Plasstastics (@Plasstastic) June 19, 2017
Here’s an idea: Maybe Sean Hannity should grow the hell up. That, or maybe if he whines enough his BFF Donnie Trump will bring him a nice blanket and tuck him in while he takes a nap in his safe space.
