MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace and political analyst John Heilemann both lashed out Friday with profane tirades against Fox News host Sean Hannity after the Trump-boosting cable star prompted accusations of hypocrisy following his complaints about politicians who call for political opponents to be jailed.
During the opening segment of MSNBCs Deadline: White House, Heilemann got things going when he warned the producers booth that he was going to use some blue language that might need to be bleeped. I yield to no one in my tendency to call bullshit on people at Fox News when they lie, the veteran pundit exclaimed. And so, obviously, Seans full of it, right?
Noting how hypocritical Hannitys declaration wasconsidering all the times both the Fox News host and President Trump have called for Hillary Clinton and FBI investigators to be imprisonedHeilemann said the business model of Fox is to create an alternative reality thats destroying the country.
Adding that Foxs right-wing commentators thrive off framing Clinton as a criminal, Heliemann went on to say that Hannity isnt crazy and he gets what hes doing. Turning back to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was the focus of Hannitys wrath Thursday night, Heilemann stated the political reality shes confronting is the political reality created by Sean Hannity and his business model built on lies, and fantasy and hypocrisy and bullshit.
At the very end of the broadcast, Wallace issued an apology to her show's viewers for the strong language she and Heilemann used.
