Sean Hannity Asked 'The Left’ To React To Right-Wing Art. The Response Was Priceless.

That probably didn't go as he planned.

Fox News host Sean Hannity tried to play art critic on Twitter Monday night.

It didn’t go well.

Hannity shared a video of right-wing artist Jon McNaughton, who has painted things like Jesus holding the Constitution, creating his latest work. The piece features a stadium full of people watching President Donald Trump pick up a tattered American flag and appears to reference last season’s NFL protests against police brutality and racism.

“He holds it up to his chest and attempts to clean it with a rag,” explained McNaughton in the video. “And he says, ‘What are you doing?’”

Here’s Hannity’s tweet:

The “left” loves art, and especially taxpayer funded art that is “provocative”. Let’s get their reaction to this. https://t.co/WAVFB1Uqbx.

Here are some of the responses he requested:

This is literally the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

The lips of the artist say, "What are you doing?"
The eyes of his subject say, "Where am I? What's happening?"

Looks like the American Flag might have a $130K check from Michael Cohen coming her way.

You're hyping the equivalent of collecting clown paintings for guys who get misty-eyed at Shelby Foote interviews.

You might "reconsider" your "use" of "quotation marks," "genius."

He looks disoriented, scared and possibly like he’s had a stroke. This artist is a genius who has captured the true essence of Trump

He’s holding a flag that is in tatters, symbolizing what he and his crew are doing to the country. Art interpretation is fun.

The only thing that could make that better is if it was painted on black velvet.

a flag in that condition should be burned, and it's a really poor likeness of Trump. the skin tone is all wrong--it actually looks like skin https://t.co/Lvb0fZ8z1M

They should do another painting where he properly and respectfully burns the flag in keeping with U.S. Flag Code.
