Fox News host hosted a town hall meeting in Florida on Thursday evening, and the state’s two Republican senators, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, made an appearance in an effort to reassure GOP voters that the high early vote turnout in some states isn’t bad news for conservatives.
Scott also took time to present Hannity with the “Champion for Freedom” award, which consisted of a tiny bowl, according to HuffPost:
Scott, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said he had created an award for people who care about freedom. The committee gave the “Champion for Freedom” award, which has a colander-like bowl shape, to former President Donald Trump last year.
“Oh my god, wow,” said Hannity, who later raised the bowl above his head as a Florida crowd applauded him.

Rick Scott just gave Hannity … a little bowl? That’s some sort of Republican freedom award? pic.twitter.com/GA3t1vDRce

Is that not one of the most pathetic things you’ve ever seen? It’s also the ultimate in obsequious sucking up to someone who is only too happy to be a shill for the GOP on a daily basis, whether he gets an award or not.
It didn’t take long before Twitter began mocking Hannity and the award.
Dog bowl. For being Trumps best little lap dog.

Scott: I made up this award at the last minute and sent my secretary to trophy store and had it engraved. Only cost the taxpayers $200.
Hannity: I’m so honored.— Woman In The Moon (@SassyKadiK) October 28, 2022
It looks like a silver bowl but when they turn it over and put it on their heads it’s actually a tin foil hat. So, figures
