SHOT. . .
The Daily Beast’s Justin Baragona called out Sean Hannity for referring to Ron Klain — “Biden’s Jewish chief of staff” — as the “Great Puppeteer”:

CHASER. . .
But 11 hours later he clarified his tweet to say that Hannity wasn’t antisemitic on purpose and that “puppeteer” is a “go-to phrase he uses to blast liberals and Democrats all the time”:
For the record, I absolutely believe that Sean Hannity did not intentionally try to be antisemitic with these remarks. "Puppeteer" is a go-to phrase he uses to blast liberals and Democrats all the time.
Also extremely likely he doesn't even know Ron Klain is Jewish.

In other words, THERE’S NOTHING HERE yet he tweeted it anyway. Never change, guys. Never. Change.
