CNN host Jake Tapper has never been shy in sharing his criticism of Fox News, especially after the network settled the lawsuit brought forth by Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million. Sean Hannity is now hitting back.
Tapper was critical of Hannity for calling President Biden “Jacked-Up Joe” after his energetic State of the Union address. Hannity — who called the Biden moniker “charitable” — has often used the same line coined by former President Donald Trump — “Sleepy Joe” — to describe the commander-in-chief.
On CNN, Tapper called Hannity an “unofficial Trump adviser,” joking that “Hannity is always known for being charitable.”
During his primetime show on Fox News Monday, Sean Hannity hit back.
“I was supposed to have a message for Fake Jake Tapper. But after my team did a little investigating, this guy barely gets over 500,000 viewers a day, or night, or whenever he’s on,” Hannity said, dismissively. “I’d say if you want me to respond, Fake Jake, you need at least a million, million and a half viewers before you get my attention.
“I addressed it earlier today. Jake, you’re a liberal talk show host pretending to be a journalist. That’s why the name Fake Jake is perfect for you. Choose your lane, Jake.”
