Did Hannity just say Trump was never qualified to be president?
Fox News host Sean Hannity has long been one of Donald Trump’s biggest boosters. In 2018, The Washington Post reported on the almost daily phone calls between the two men. In 2022, the House select committee on the Jan. 6 riot revealed text messages in which Hannity offered advice to Trump and then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. So an exchange between Hannity and Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday night in which Hannity questioned Ramaswamy’s qualification to be president is eyebrow-raising, to say the least.
Hannity and Ramaswamy both bully their way through conversations, talking over people until they can dominate the moment, so as they got into it, a transcript of the conversation would be one “crosstalk” note after another, with occasional words breaking through. This is two intensely unlikeable people being unlikeable toward each other.
