Sean Hannity used his Fox News show on Monday night to feed wild conspiracy theories that the protests erupting around the country weren’t a spontaneous display of anger against President Donald Trump. Instead, he implied they were “bankrolled” by shadowy figures.
Who is bankrolling the protests taking place at airports across the country? More with @newtgingrich right after the break #Hannity

Well, Hannity received some responses. More than 4,000 of them, in fact, and most were mocking him.
Here’s a sample:

@seanhannity@newtgingrich A more appropriate question: Who is bankrolling your incomprehensible support of Trump?
— Susan SM (@SuShiMat) January 31, 2017
@seanhannity@newtgingrich Why do you idiots think that protesting is expensive? All I have to do is show up with a cardboard sign.

@seanhannity@newtgingrich you're never going to believe who paid my $7 for short term parking at lax!
