Earlier this week, the committee requested that Sean Hannity cooperate with the investigation, citing texts between the Fox News host and the White House which suggest advance knowledge of Trump’s planning for 6 January. According to publicly released documents, on 21 December 2020, Hannity texted the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows: “I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told.”“So Hannity clearly knew what was coming,” Colbert said. “Apparently, Hannity saw some downsides to destroying our system of representative government,” Colbert added, pointing to a text from 5 January, in which Hannity told Meadows he was “very worried about the next 48 hours”. “So he either had advance knowledge of the plot, or he had just eaten three Taco Bell Burrito Supremes,” Colbert joked. “It makes sense that he’s moving it from Mar-a-Lago to Arizona, considering their state motto: Arizona, America’s backup Florida,” Colbert joked.
