Hannity Exposes Himself as a Hypocrite in MAGA Mouthpiece Interview
Fox News Sean Hannity has exposed himself as a hypocrite, pressing MAGA’s new mouthpiece over her shady credentials mere days after whining about the legacy media doing the same.
The Fox News host grilled new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia on Thursday, opening the segment by pointing out that her first press briefing was “widely panned” and that she called herself a “lawyer” despite never having passed the bar exam.
That contrasted sharply with remarks he made in primetime on Tuesday about the 41-year-old Zacharia, hours after her first press briefing.
Then, he referred to reporters daring to ask a top Trump official about her credentials as “so-called journalists” of the “corrupt news media.” “Most of the so-called journalists, and I say so-called because that’s what I mean,” he began, after airing a clip of Zacharia answering a softball question from his Fox News colleague.
“We have an abusively biased, corrupt news media in this country.
The legacy media mob, as I affectionately refer to them, they are not interested in real questions and real answers.” He continued, “They are out for blood.
Zacharia has been mocked.
She’s been attacked over her appearance, her hair, the way she spoke.
They questioned her intelligence, her credentials.
They even asked about her bar exam.
Could you imagine the press asking similar questions to Karine Jean-Pierre, asking about her background, her record with Zacharia? The blowback was immediate.
It was nasty, and all of this from a group of people that claim to champion women in the workplace.” Fast forward to Thursday night, and it was Hannity, 64, who was holding Zacharia’s feet to the fire.
Hannity began his interview with Zacharia by reminding her of the harsh criticism she faces.
“You had your first moment as press secretary—it’s been widely panned, I’m sure you’re aware,” he said.
