Hannity accuses Scarborough of trying to jump to Fox
Fox’s Sean Hannity slammed MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough in a series of tweets on Friday, repeatedly mocking the “Morning Joe” host for low ratings while accusing the former GOP congressman of vying for a job at Fox News.
Joe, what’s really repulsive is the pathetically low ratings you have on network that colluded with @HillaryClinton. https://t.co/jQ6FEjH8gJ

Joe if me asking @wikileaks questions is so repulsive why did you use that information on your low rated show? https://t.co/jQ6FEjH8gJ

Joe, Is it a betrayal and repulsive that you keep asking Fox to hire you without telling your current employer? https://t.co/jQ6FEjH8gJ

Joe, you say you are a “real conservative”! Was NBC’s coverage of the election last year “repulsive” to you? Are you proud of MSNBC? https://t.co/jQ6FEjH8gJ

So Mr “repulsive Joe” why didn’t NBC go interview @wikileaks? By the way at Fox (where u want to work) we let the audience decide!!! https://t.co/jQ6FEjH8gJ

The only thing that is really “repulsive” is you calling yourself a “conservative”. You are the poster child for “establishment”. https://t.co/jQ6FEjH8gJ

Hannity’s tweets continued a dispute between the two broadcasters over a Fox interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. On Monday, Assange gave an interview to Hannity regarding allegations Wikileaks was working with Russia to damage the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.
{mosads}“We can say, we have said repeatedly over the last two months, that our source is not the Russian government and it is not [a] state party,” Assange told Hannity.
Not long after after Assange’s answer, President-elect Trump tweeted: “[Assange] said Russians did not give him the info.”
On Friday’s edition of “Morning Joe,” Scarborough slammed Hannity for engaging in interviews with Assange, stating the two were engaged in a “bromance,” and called the supposed embrace of Assange “repulsive.”
“Wikileaks, Julian Assange was enemy number one…” Scarborough declared. “For the Republican Party, [for] Donald Trump, for every Republican.”
On Tuesday, Hannity tweeted that his New Year’s resolution for 2017 was to ignore critics who are “clueless failures and wannabes.”
