NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: While hard-hitting political and national news is making headlines all across the country, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity reports on the use of paper straws, and how they are the “worst.”

It appears that Hannity took a brief break from reporting about Joe Biden and Donald Trump to make his fans and followers more aware of the downside of paper straws, however, the Fox News anchor received a lot of flak for the same.

Sean Hannity takes a break from politics to spread awareness about paper straws

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity tweeted, “Paper straws are the worst...”

With this tweet, Hannity also shared an article from his official website titled, “STRAW WARS: Paper Worse Than Plastic, Contains More 'Forever Chemicals'; Study.”

This article was a part of the “climate cult” section of Hannity’s website and stated, “According to a new study published in the journal Food Additives & Contaminants, paper straws may actually be worse than plastic straws because they contain more “forever chemicals.”

The article by Hannity staff on the website also shared a tweet from the New York Post which read, “Paper straws contain toxic ‘forever chemicals’ — could be worse than plastic: study” which was reflected in the title of the website’s article.

Internet unimpressed by Sean Hannity’s tweet on paper straws

After Fox News anchor Sean Hannity wrote this particular tweet about paper straws amidst everything happening in and around America, he was mocked relentlessly for the same.

One person wrote, “Trump was arrested yesterday....again but yea, paper straws are the real news.”

“HANNITY TAKES ON HARD-HITTING NEWS THAT EVEN 'THE VIEW' WON'T TOUCH!: "My next beef will be with that wobbly wheel on shopping carts," says Sean Hannity. "I might even go after the company that makes the unconvincing lifts in my shoes and my Manzier/Bro,” wrote one person, as they compared Hannity to the daytime talk show, 'The View.'

Several tweets were targeted directly at Hannity, even from those in agreement about his statement on paper straws. One person wrote, “Yes, they are. But so are you.” Another person wrote, “You really hate well everything!”

The internet continued to slam Hannity over this tweet as one person responded, “Actually, nuclear war and the Holocaust are worse, but hey....I guess it's really difficult being Sean Hannity,” and another said, “This is news???? Slither away, please.”
