Get ready for this story; it is so crazy, man. You are really going to laugh, okay? Ready?

On Sunday, Trump campaign Chief Operating Officer Michael Glassner announced via statement that Sean Hannity (and Rush Limbaugh) would-be special guests at a rally in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on Monday evening.

Then—hold on, you're totally gonna crack up—Monday at 11:02 a.m., Hannity, that smug Lego of a man, tweeted, "In spite of reports, I will be doing a live show from Cape Girardeau and interviewing Trump before the rally. To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President. I am covering final rally for my show. Something I have done in every election in the past." (The tweet is still up. Wait for it—this will pay off in a second. I can't wait to see your face.)

To The Washington Post, a Fox News spokesperson repeated that Hannity would absolutely not be appearing at the rally with the president, and how even would people have gotten that idea, and just to be safe, they had ordered Hannity return to New York. Are you hanging in with me?

And then! Monday night, (have you guessed yet?) Hannity, an anchor on Fox News, which is purportedly—but not actually— a "news network," actually did join Trump on stage, at the Cape Girardeau rally, just like we first thought!

While there, he pointed at the area where reporters were standing (his alleged peers! Can you believe?) and said, "By the way, all those people in the back are fake news."

And Jeanine Pirro, also a Fox News host, also appeared! It's like, these guys are so passionate about their president even though that is so amazingly unethical. (Have they ever heard the word 'ethics,' though? I am dying!)

In 2016, Hannity said to The New York Times, "I'm not hiding the fact that I want Donald Trump to be the next President of the United States... I never claimed to be a journalist." But then in another interview with The New York Times Magazine, he amended his previous statement: "I'm a journalist. But I'm an advocacy journalist, or an opinion journalist."

This is whole thing is honestly too funny. Like, dude, what??? Didn't they say he wouldn't be... and so did he... but then he did? And he's not a journalist... but he is?... and now he's not?! I'm absolutely tripping. But wait, it is not over (thank God, this shit is so funny).

On Tuesday morning, Fox News released another statement, saying, "Fox News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events. We have an extraordinary team of journalists helming our coverage tonight and we are extremely proud of their work. This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed." I just gotta know how they addressed this one, fam! But they won't say how they did! Too good.

And! Hannity has tweeted again, saying that he stands by his first tweet and didn't know he'd be called on stage! Even though it was literally announced by the campaign! Help! My lungs! I am laughing so hard I am also not breathing!

Ha ha!!! Call the doctor.
