Right-wing commentator Sean Hannity offered to send President Barack Obama and his family to Canada, Kenya or Indonesia ― but only if they don’t come back.

Earlier this week, White House press secretary Josh Earnest declined to respond to a satirical report out of Canada claiming Obama would move there if GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump won the election. 

“I will charter Donald Trump’s plane if he’ll let me, and I will charter it to the country of your choice,” Hannity said in comments posted online by Media Matters.

Then he added: 

“You want to go to Canada? I’ll pay for you to go to Canada. You want to go to Kenya? I’ll pay for you to go to Kenya. Jakarta, where you went to school back in the day, you can go back there. Anywhere you want to go. I’ll put the finest food ― caviar, champagne, you name it. I have one stipulation: You can’t come back.”

Hannity also made the same offer to “any Hollywood liberal that swears they’re gonna leave too.”
