He believes, and IMHO rightfully so, that the Republican and Democratic positions are so opposed that photo opportunities like the golf game are absolutely useless.
He called the Democrats our enemies. That rocked the Fox and friends team back on their heals. When the, the Fox and Friends hosts, pushed the issue Hank said something along the lines of:
“Us playing gold with the Democrats make as much sense as Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu”.
This was immediately followed with one of the hosts saying:
“Did you just compare Obama with Hitler?”
Hank was point out the idiocy of socializing with Democrats but it was the Fox and friends host that linked Obama and Hitler, not Hank.
When Hank was done, a few minutes later, they Fox and Friends had no problem playing Roseanne Barr talking about beheading people.
