Sean Hannity Offers Kudos To ‘Fake News’ CNN, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash for Fair Debate

Conservative media personality Sean Hannity gave kudos to “fake news CNN” for delivering a fair presidential debate despite “trashing” former President Donald Trump “for many years.”

Speaking with Fox News in the spin room after the Thursday showdown, Hannity just about managed to utter a rare compliment to the CNN team and hosts, journalists Jake Tapper and Dana Bash – albeit coupled with the knee-jerk “fake” prefix to signal to his MAGA listeners that he’s still on their team.

Hannity said: “In fairness to fake news CNN, Fake Jake, and Fake Dana, they put aside their prejudice, their hatred towards Donald Trump for the night, and they actually asked questions and waited for answers.

He continued: “I thought they managed the debate fairly well, something I didn’t expect, considering we’ve been playing the tape of them trashing Donald Trump for many years. So, I guess, credit for one night.”

Watch above on Fox News.
