So Sean Hannity and Newt go way back and both rose to prominence in the same 7 years. Lets say 1988 to 1995
Yep. Sean used to bill himself as “Rush in training”. He was the morning host live in Atlanta preceeding Rush’s show on WGST. Rush began to have Sean on as a fill-in host and that propelled Sean to the national stage.
Newt was Congressman for the 6th district which was Marietta and the northside of Atlanta. As Monority Whip then Speaker it was common for him to be on local radio and TV.
