Sean Hannity Brutally Mocked After His Dig At Journalist From NABJ Panel Backfires

Sean Hannity’s recent dig at journalist Rachel Scott, who served as a moderator during Donald Trump’s contentious Q&A session at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, did not go over well with many on social media.

During Tuesday’s broadcast of “Hannity,” the Fox News host criticized Scott, a senior congressional correspondent for ABC News, by questioning her as a journalist.

Hannity had referenced the ongoing back-and-forth over debate terms between teams for Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, when he accused the ABC network of being “openly hostile to former President Donald Trump and most Republicans.” (The next presidential debate is scheduled for Sept. 10 on ABC.)

The Fox News host then introduced a clip of Scott asking Trump the first question in the interview at the NABJ convention in Chicago last month.

“Take a look at this: Ask yourself, does this sound like journalism, or a talk show host?” Hannity asked mockingly.

In the clip from the convention, Scott, who is Black, says to Trump that she’s about to address “the elephant in the room,” before she pointed out that many other Black journalists had objected to his attendance.

Scott then laid out several attacks and accusations that Trump has spewed toward Black elected officials and journalists over the years.

The ABC correspondent noted Trump’s history of pushing racist birther conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama, as well as times he’s insulted prominent Black female journalists , among other attacks.

“You have attacked Black journalists, calling them ‘losers,’ saying the questions that they ask are ‘stupid’ and ‘racist’; you’ve had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort,” Scott said to the Republican presidential nominee.

“So my question, sir: Now that you are asking Black supporters to vote for you, why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that?” she asked.

Some people on X, formerly Twitter, mocked Hannity’s apparent attempt to discredit Scott, saying that the clip from the convention shown on Fox News was, in fact, a solid example of journalism.

“Aww was poor wittle Donny asked hard questions??” one person on X wrote .

“That’s actual journalism Hannity. Your network should try it sometime,” wrote another.

Trump received wide backlash over his appearance at the convention.

Among the several falsehoods he spewed onstage , he implied that Harris, who is both Black and South Asian, had previously only identified as Indian .
