NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: After Hurricane Idalia’s damaging effects in different parts of the country, President Joe Biden briefly spoke about it at the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) headquarters where the POTUS mispronounced 'landfall' as 'landfill.'
After Biden’s response speech at FEMA, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express his thoughts about the same. Hannity labeled Biden’s speech as ‘horrendous’ after POTUS said, “Hurricane Idalia made ‘landfill.’”
In response, Hannity was asked to “get a life” by people on the internet, as several came to defend Biden, and the others simply trolled Hannity, for pointing out a small detail that was taken from Biden’s FEMA speech.

After Sean Hannity’s tweet about Joe Biden at FEMA, responding to Hurricane Idalia, the internet asked Hannity to “get a life” as one person wrote, “Oh, the horror! The absolute horror. Get a life, Sean.” One person also tweeted, “Oh, you’re so perfect, I forgot.”

Hannity was also called “petty” over this tweet, “This is so petty. Was he wearing tennis shoes while he misspoke? The horror!” and another tweet read, “I would rather listen to him fumble his words than the negative crap you spew every day. His heart is in the right place, yours is not.”
