Sean Hannity gets the Twitter mockery he deserves after going to war with The Onion

Last week, Fox News host Sean Hannity got so bent out of shape by an article on The Onion that he took a break from propagating conspiracy theories to attack the website for being just another tool of “the left.”

Last month, The Onion published an article with the headline, “Hundreds Of Miniature Sean Hannitys Burst From Roger Ailes’ Corpse,” with a featured image graphically depicting a scene reminiscent of the movie Alien. On Thursday, Hannity tweeted a link to the article, wondering, “What is wrong with the left that they think these sorts of things are funny?”

He followed up with a whole segment devoted to the article on his show, comparing the imagery to Kathy Griffin’s widely criticized photo shoot featuring a bloody decapitated head of Donald Trump.

Aside from the usual Fox News sycophants calling for the The Onion to face justice, the Twitterverse pointed out that Hannity is just another snowflake:
