Sean Hannity disrupts governor’s RNC speech with Fox News promotion stunt

MILWAUKEE — The Fox News hosts are stealing the show up in the nosebleed sections of Fiserv Forum.

As Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin addressed the RNC Monday night that was focused on the economic challenges of working families and veterans, delegates turned from the Jumbotron and started shouting in excitement.

It was Sean Hannity tossing T-shirts into the crowd from one of two Fox News boxes.

Later, after the house band played a cover of Loverboy’s “Working for the Weekend” and just before South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem took the stage, delegates craned their necks to catch a glimpse of Judge Jeanine Pirro in the box.
