Fox News Lands Exclusive Interview With Founding Father Alexander Hamilton

Fox News is great at getting exclusive interviews – I mean, who wouldn’t want to be a guest on the highest rated cable news network?

Today, however, they really outdid themselves. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton was a guest on Cavuto (with FBN’s Eric Bolling filling in), and guess what – Hamilton’s not really a fan of this administration.

Alexander Hamilton interpreter Bill Chrystal (not Bill Kristol) was introduced by Bolling, who promised to only interview him in character. “I’m going to talk to you like you’re Alexander Hamilton, so what do you think is going on with our Constitution right now?” he asked.

“I said years ago…” began Hamilton, who later had this to say when asked about China:

I helped General Washington write his farewell address and in his farewell address General Washington warned us against foreign entanglements.

There’s been some recent dress-up on Fox News when it comes to tea partying, but it’s been a while since they fired up the actual theatre troupe. At least the pimps are gone.

Here’s the “Alexander Hamilton” interview:
