Fox News host Sean Hannity has never been shy in his disdain for CNN anchor Jake Tapper. However, he couldn’t deny that Tapper and Dana Bash were good debate moderators.
During the post-debate coverage on Fox News, Hannity gave Tapper and Bash credit, with a backhanded compliment in the process.
“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,” said Hannity. “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.”
Many in the news media gave props to Tapper and Bash for their performances Thursday evening. The pair received heavy criticism for their previous coverage of former President Donald Trump in the days and weeks leading up to Thursday’s debate.
