Hannity Trashes MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace As Phony Liberals Faking It For a ‘Nice Big Check’

 

Fox News host Sean Hannity questioned the legitimacy of Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace’s “liberal” views, suggesting they might be playing roles just for a “nice big check” from MSNBC.

Hannity joined Kyle Forgeard on the Full Send podcast this week, and he took a few shots at his fellow cable news commentators while discussing his nearly 30 years with Fox News.

“How do you think Fox differs from other networks?” Forgeard asked after Hannity talked about his “great relationship” with Fox.

Hannity claimed Scarborough went from a Republican congressman from Florida to “big liberal Joe” on Morning Joe.

“I mean, am I really supposed to believe that Joe Scarborough, who used to represent the most conservative district in Florida, all of a sudden became a liberal? It seems kind of expedient to me that he wanted to be on television, get paid a nice big check. And so he goes on MSNBC, and now he’s a big liberal Joe,” he said.

Hannity then turned his attention to Wallace, making similar accusations and citing her work with former President George W. Bush — she was a White House communications director in his administration — and the late John McCain — Wallace was a senior advisor to his 2008 presidential campaign. Hannity claimed she’s “radical” and “hardcore left-wing” in part because of her vocal opposition to President Donald Trump.

“Or Nicolle Wallace, she ran John McCain and Sarah Palin’s campaign. She worked for George W. Bush. And now, she’s like radical, hardcore left-wing, Trump hating,” Hannity said.

The Fox host questioned whether Wallace had a “change of heart” while praising himself as a consistent Republican.

“Could she have had a change of heart? I don’t know. But I’ve kind of stayed consistent throughout my career. I’m a Reagan, Make America Great Again, Trump conservative. That’s how I describe myself,” he said.
