Fox News Pretends To Chastise Hannity For Trump Rally

It’s not like they’re going to give him a timeout.

Fox News responded to Sean Hannity‘s appearance at a President Donald Trump rally on Monday with a statement declaring that the network “does not condone any talent participating in campaign events.”

“FOX News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events,” Fox said in a statement. “We have an extraordinary team of journalists helming our coverage tonight and we are extremely proud of their work. This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed.”

Hannity and the network initially said on Tuesday that the Fox News host would only hold his show from the rally venue and interview the president.

In spite of reports, I will be doing a live show from Cape Girardeau and interviewing President Trump before the rally. To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President. I am covering final rally for my show. Something I have done in every election in the past.
