Liberal Radio Star Laughs in Hannity’s Face Over Fox News Near Blackout Of Trump in Epstein Files
Liberal radio host Stephanie Miller laughed in Fox News host Sean Hannity’s face as she taunted him over the network’s focus amid bombshell Jeffrey Epstein emails about President Donald Trump.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee dropped a bomb Wednesday morning with the release of emails that Epstein sent to accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff that directly referenced Trump.
Republicans responded with a dump of tens of thousands more documents and emails, many with explosive revelations. The revelations dominated media coverage — except at Fox News.
Miller was a guest on Wednesday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Hannity, during which she tried to remedy that situation by blurting out a stream of Epstein patter over the host’s objections — laughing all the while.
The segment was pegged to Miller’s gag photo kissing Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s (D-TX) feet, but the veteran radio star had other ideas:
SEAN HANNITY: All right, now some on the left, they’re taking their love of Jasmine Crockett to the next level, and that includes our next guest, who quite literally, you can see in that picture right there, threw herself at the feet of Jasmine Crockett and kissed them.
Here to explain what exactly she was thinking in that moment, top-rated progressive radio host in the country, our old friend Stephanie Miller.
All right. So here’s the funny part of the story for me. So I’m like, I read the story. I didn’t see your name in the original copy. I read this story and I’m, like, what the, you know, what is this?
And then, then your name popped up. I have known you for 30 years. You are as liberal as I am conservative, but you’re also a comedian.
And I started laughing. I thought it was funny. But if it was anybody else, I probably wouldn’t think it was as funny. So, well done.
STEPHANIE MILLER: Thank you for being the only one on the right that gets the joke, Sean! It was a joke!
And you know, the funniest thing about this story is Trump’s all over the Epstein files! And I wonder if they’re going to release that after the big bombshell?
I didn’t see anything about that on Fox News today!
SEAN HANNITY: Bill Clinton’s all over it!
STEPHANIE MILLER: Yeah. OK. So let’s release them. Let’s release those files!
(CROSSTALK).
SEAN HANNITY: Yeah– all right. I didn’t bring you on to discuss–.
STEPHANIE MILLER: Is this what passes for news?
SEAN HANNITY: –Why did you kiss her feet?
STEPHANIE MILLER: Is this is what passes for news on Fox News? That I did a joke picture? (LAUGHS)
SEAN HANNITY: Can I ask– alright. Why did you kiss her feet and do you have like a list of favorite Democrats whose feet you’d like to kiss?
STEPHANIE MILLER: Sure. It was a joke! Everyone was laughing in the room. Jasmine Crockett was laughing.
Yes, Sean, you know what? I had Governor Andy Beshear on today. If I can get a flight to Kentucky, if Sean Duffy’s FAA isn’t too screwed up, I’ll go kiss his feet in Kentucky. I’ll kiss Gavin Newsom when I get back home tonight.
SEAN HANNITY: Well, you can thank Donald Trump, who just got the government reopened. Thank Mike Johnson, thank the U.S. Senate.
STEPHANIE MILLER: I know, because you guys run all three branches, so right, it was the Democrats that shut down the government. Right. Yeah.
SEAN HANNITY: There is something called the filibuster you are aware you’ve been in this business a long time. Let’s not play naive because you’re anything but.
