Nearly 1/4 Of Texas House Republicans Invite Sean Hannity To Lone Star State

Nearly one quarter of Republican legislators in the Texas House have signed a letter urging Fox News' Sean Hannity to move to Texas. The move comes after Texas Lt.

The letter signed by the legislators was penned by Texas House Ways and Means chairman Harvey Hilderbran. Breitbart News was the first to learn of the effort.

Sean Hannity responded to Lt. Governor Dewhurst's letter by having him on his radio show. Hannity told Dewhurst: "I'm supporting your re-election... you're a good man, I love your principles, your letter meant more to me than I think you're ever going to know..."
