Sean Hannity tore apart GOP leadership for continuing their push to give President Barack Obama Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) as the House looks to set up a vote as early as this week on the legislation.
On his Wednesday program, Hannity said House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel are “selling out American sovereignty,” adding that the secrecy of the bill shows those two and the Obama administration doesn’t “care what we think.”
“In spite of all the calls, I’m being told, going into Congress — like 30 to 1, they’re still pushing [TPA] anyway because they don’t care what we think,” Hannity said.
“The [Obama] administration, and Boehner, and McConnell, they’re selling out American sovereignty,” Hannity said. “The TPA will have sweeping authority over trade, immigration, environmental, labor, and commerce regulations.”
“We had Jeff Sessions on the program — this is what he was warning you. We had Congressman Duncan Hunter on, this is what he was warning us,” Hannity continued. “He said ‘if you adopt the fast-track, Congress would be formally authorizing the president to finalize the creation of this Pacific Union, and will have surrendered its legislative prerogatives.'”
“This is before a line, a word, a paragraph, a page of the plan is made public—the very things that Republicans swore that they would not do,” Hannity railed. “You know, Orrin Hatch admitted, ‘well, I don’t fully know what’s in it myself.’ Well then why are you promoting the fast-track for something that you don’t know what’s going to be in this thing?”
Phyllis Schlafly is warning us again.
Malkin is warning us again.
TPA means that Obama gets a straight up/down vote on TPP with no amendments allowed and no 60 vote filibuster in the Senate.
What part of stupid plan does America not understand?
Today’s news has conservative congressman Jim Jordan rebelling against ObamaTrade and the Boehner/Obama deal.
Phyllis Schlafly is warning us again.
Malkin is warning us again.

The same guy who’s pushing Jeb Bush, that Hannity?
Tonight he has an hour with Trump.
You mean the same guy who gave an hour to TED CRUZ?
WHO'S GOT THE CRUZ PING LIST? BOY, I CAN'T WAIT TO MAN THE PHONES IN OCTOBER AND DONATE TO THE GOP!
What scares the hell outta me is the # of FReepers (!!!!) supporting this garbage!
Who he “gives an hour” to and who he’s pushing to be the nominee is two different things. He’d “give an hour” to Hillary if her staff would let her go on his show, now wouldn’t he?
Hannity has given an hour to all of the GOP candidates.
If I searched through Free Republic could I find times when you’ve said positive things about Michelle Malkin, Phyllis Schlafly, Jeff Sessions, Jim Jordan,....people like that?
I sent you the link. I watched it when it happened. It was very positive. Watch it yourself.
He’d ask the hard questions of Hillary. She would NEVER come on Hannity. Why is that?
Oh, I think America understands just fine, but the NWO occupying force doesn’t care.
Ha. That adds up to about 20 hours so far.
And yet Donald Trump is making a farce out of the Republican party, right?
Thanks for posting. As I was listening to Hannity make such great points about the trade debacle, I was wishing for a transcript.
I’ve posted a total of 28,592 threads and 70,463 replies. You could probably find quite a bit in that many posts, nicht wehr?
I don’t think Trump is making a farce. I think he needs to be evaluated like any other candidate. I’ll make a list of issue important to me, weight the most important, and then evaluate the pros and cons of each candidate.
I won’t really get a chance to register a choice until the Ohio primary which is really late (May, I think of next year)
We’ve been FRiends a long time, 2Div. Even when I disagree with you, I still know you’re a solid conservative.
Really something isn’t it? FReepers siding with the muslim Barry, Hillary and their globalist puppet master’s desires for UN managed gun control, climate change and ‘trade’ deals.
I feel for the lower officer ranks in the Military ( like my brother), I really do. They must make the choice to stand with the Country and the Constitution, and not the illegitimate evil Government.
