Former Fox News Host Puts ‘Arsonist’ Sean Hannity on Blast

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson lit into one of her former colleagues on Monday, taking aim at Sean Hannity.

Hannity, fresh off his DeSantis-Newsom debate success, shared his monologue from last Wednesday on Twitter/X over the weekend, writing, “Hate is running rampant all across the country.”

Carlson, who left the network in 2016 while suing then-CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment, hit back writing:

Arsonist: “sure are a lot of fires these days”

Hannity’s monologue focused primarily on condemning a recent Oakland City Council meeting in which many speakers openly supported Hamas and denied the barbarism of the Oct. 7th in which Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis and abducted more than 200.

“A word about the extremism and the hate now running rampant all across the country, starting just one day after the barbaric Hamas terror attack on October 7th. There have been hundreds of anti-Israeli protests all around our country,” Hannity began, adding:

These so-called demonstrators, we’ve watched them openly praising the terror group Hamas, calling for a global Islamic war against the West. Defacing national landmarks and statues, vandalizing our own White House, burning American flags and tried to break down the doors at the DNC. These obsessive rioters, they hate Israel, hate America, the Jewish people — they hate so much. They’re now enthusiastically condoning, excusing terrorism, rape, murder, torture, kidnapping, even women, young children, babies.

Carlson’s jab at her former employer came a day after Megyn Kelly also took a shot at Fox News.

Kelly told Semafor’s Max Tani she believed Fox is currently only “a shadow of itself in its heyday, citing the damage to the network from defamation suits filed by Dominion and Smartmatic over the network’s inaccurate 2020 election reporting.”

“That was a serious reputational wound that they took in connection with those [Dominion and Smartmatic false voter fraud] stories – up and down the line, in connection with all of those stories. They haven’t recovered from it,” Kelly is directly quoted as saying.

“Their audience isn’t what it used to be — in comparison to MSNBC and CNN, it’s fine. But their reputation in the industry hasn’t recovered. And I don’t know that it will,” she concluded.
