Fox News’ Sean Hannity jumped to Donald Trump’s defense (as he often does) on Thursday, siding with the president in his feud with Pope Leo — and drawing fierce backlash online.
On his radio show, Hannity offered to interview the pontiff over his criticism of Trump’s war with Iran, which has the president has now repeatedly flipped out over.
Hannity accused Leo of feigning “selective moral outrage” and “seemingly enjoying this public fight with Donald Trump.”
“I think it’s time that he starts to get questioned. Donald Trump takes questions all the time,” he continued. “Nobody gets to ask the pope a single thing. And I think it’s time and I would like to offer myself as the person to go interview the pope. I think I’m uniquely qualified. I studied Latin, theology, went to Catholic church for twelve years. I’d love to interview the pope.”
