Conservative bloviator and Fox News persona Sean Hannity may want to help President-elect Donald Trump Make America Great Again and defend his praise of Russia.

But, a retweet by Hannity (since deleted) opened him up to mocking on the social network on Sunday.

Hannity sent out a tweet from an account called Donnie L'il Hands, which pokes fun at Trump and is a reference to a debate during the GOP primaries about the size of Trump's, um, extremities.

TWEETER IN CHIEF: What business is Donald Trump attacking online now?

Donnie L'il Hands tweeted at Hannity "YES! All Americans must join together to MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN. Teamwork!! #MRGA"

Hannity sent it out, then deleted it a short time later, but not before CNN media reporter Brian Stetler and others captured it for posterity.

Trump has come under fire for his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his calls for close ties with Russia. Hannity has been one of his staunchest defenders.

The tweet stayed up for about 45 minutes or so and it is unclear if Hannity deleted it or someone did it on his behalf. Was it honesty? An error during a day spent watching football?

For several hours after the errant retweet, Hannity resumed posting his usual conservative talking points with no mention of Donnie L'il Hands. Just before 4 p.m. Sunday, Hannity tweeted that he scrubbed the tweet and apologized for sending it.

If nothing else, Hannity's mistake helped make Twitter Mocking Great Again.
