This raises the question of audiences. He obviously gets no negative blowback from keeping debunked stories alive. E.g., he still maintains there was a "stand down order" at Benghazi. And he uses the term "fake news" more frequently than Trump.
Listening to him this week, and watching the press briefings, I am struck by the common talking points. It seems like Hannity had them first.
So I find these briefing surreal. The Press knows Huckabee is lying or disinforming and deflecting in statement after statement. But in terms of overall effect, that does not matter because the target audience is hearing the "truth" they want to believe.

I think you are giving the WH way to much credit to think they would said SH talking points. Far more likely, Sarah and the Queen watch Hannity's show and decide what they wish to repeat. So someone is giving someone talking points, just the other way around.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
