This is “sick and repulsive,” said Sean Hannity, in a series of tweets expressing his strong indignation with Washington Post’s headline calling ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi an “austere religious scholar.”

“An “austere religious scholar”? “Dead at 48”? No—he was cornered by the greatest toughest best military heroes on earth!! How about we killed the evil SOB. This is exactly why America will never trust these mainstream corrupt fake news outlets ever again… Let me educate the Washington Post. Al-Baghdadi was the leader of ISIS… The terror organization that is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of people. ISIS terrorists take pleasure in beheadings and burning people alive in cages. They use cars and trucks to mow down innocent people. To describe Al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” is sick and repulsive. We will break this down in great detail tomorrow night at 9pm on Hannity.”
