Sean Hannity had a perfect Freudian slip while talking about Hilary Clinton
After discounting Manafort's indictment as irrelevant and shrugging off Papadopoulos' guilty plea with an "everybody makes mistakes" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, Fox News host Sean Hannity turned to the person whose crimes he thought investigators should be focusing on: President Hillary Clinton.
But his call out of Clinton didn't necessarily go as planned...

Yep, he called Hillary Clinton the President on air. (If you care to listen to Hannity's dulcet tones, the President Clinton slip comes in around 3:20.)
SEE ALSO: Trump's tweet defending himself against Manafort indictment is predictably childish
"This is what the media will ignore, this is what matters, these are the facts, this is where the evidence comes in," Hannity said. "What did Hil — What did President Clinton, or President Clinton wannabe, President Obama, and key members of the administration, what did they know about the Uranium 1 scandal?"
Scandal huh? President who? What world is this guy living in?
The slip up— Freudian or otherwise — is especially notable considering it comes in the midst of his urge to viewers to focus on her alleged crimes, not the special investigation into the actions of the current administration.
People on social media were both flabbergasted and delighted by the blunder, while also critiquing Hannity's characterization of the Mueller investigation.
"What did President Clinton — uh, I mean, President Clinton wannabe, President Obama."

Even better, he started to say "Hillary Clinton" then STOPPED and CORRECTED to "President Clinton"

Now Hannity promises "incontrovertible evidence" about alleged Clinton crimes regarding uranium sales to Putin. "Few in the media will touch this story," Hannity says. Well, here's what happened when @JoyAnnReid touched it yesterday https://t.co/LR7UnBGRFx

Sean Hannity just called Hillary “President Clinton” — if he’s privy to some info we’re not, I’m open to it.

Really inappropriate of President Clinton to go on a book tour in the middle of her first term.

Recently Hillary Clinton, a private citizen, told attendees at her book tour that with Fox News' focus on her, instead of on the Mueller investigation and Trump administration, it "appears they don't know I'm not President." The jab is made only more hilarious with Hannity's word vomit.
Hannity just mistakenly referred to her as "President Clinton" on Fox. https://t.co/V5q5V03BVd

Hannity, just after calling her "President Clinton," is now going after Hillary for making a joke about how Fox News thinks she's president.

Here is Sean Hannity, apparently living in an alternate universe, talking about "President" Hillary Clinton. These people have lost it. 😂 pic.twitter.com/JByC2zoyFa

Clinton, for her part, is painfully aware of the actual Trump presidency universe she's living in. On Oct. 28, when Nate Silver marked the anniversary of the Comey letter (which Clinton partially attributes her election loss) on Twitter, she had this perfect response.
Oh is that today? https://t.co/AYy7CtYRWj

At least, under President Trump, we now live in a world with Hillary's amazing clap backs.
