Fox News host Sean Hannity drew ire on Wednesday after he hyped the upcoming publication of Donald Trump Jr.’s new book.
“Triggered: How The Left Thrives On Hate And Wants To Silence Us” is slated for a Nov. 5 release on the Hachette Book Group imprint Center Street Books.
Hannity thought he’d give President Donald Trump’s eldest son a helping hand with its promotion with this tweet:
My friend @DonaldJTrumpJr has a great new book that’s coming out: #TRIGGERED! A must read for every patriot in America. This is the book the left doesn’t want you to read. Preorder your copy now! https://t.co/bMxBraj8L0

Hannity, who has previously vowed to stump for Trump Jr.’s father on the 2020 campaign trail, called the tome “a must read for every patriot in America.”
Many people, however, disagreed on Twitter:
I'll pass!!! https://t.co/y6CbJ6Cp3a

This is the book the left doesn’t want you to read, and also the book Sean Hannity has never read.

Neither has Jr. for that matter, and he "wrote" it. https://t.co/tc5NqsGQrz
President Trump says we should no longer watch Fox. https://t.co/UFI2xG7D1b

Yes, only patriots would read this book. When you’re done, patriots, please make sure to prove you’re a patriot by dry humping the flag, listening to country music and by tweeting how you love the military and vets. Those are true patriots. The rest of them are just fakes.

Triggered? Is this a book how a big game hunter goes on a guided safari to kill animals that are set up for him to shoot and then take pictures with?

Actually, we lefties would love for MAGA-heads to read books. Any book at all. Please, read things! https://t.co/Xmev7Z1G48

If necessary, I would literally pay to never have to even see this book.

Just kidding, I would rather staple my eyelids open and walk through a 10km maze of dust, bees, and pepper spray than read anything longer than 280 characters written by this idiotic, misogynistic, racist waste of human organs.
Triggered enough for you? https://t.co/7I5yn9fDF1
