NBC host Chuck Todd on Friday slammed Fox News for not taking action against Sean Hannity after it was revealed the conservative opinion host was a client of President Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
The remarks from the “Meet the Press” moderator came during a contentious back-and-forth interview with WABC-770 AM morning hosts Sid Rosenberg and Bernard McGuirk.
The duo challenged Todd on what they saw as a conflict of interest regarding his wife’s past consultant work with Democrats, including former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016.
Todd jabbed Hannity for going “heavy personal” on him when Hannity criticized him on the air.
“Sean and I, I thought, had a very nice, cordial, personal relationship,” Todd told Rosenberg and McGuirk. “It’s always bothered me he has gone personal at me. I have never gone personal at him. And he’s gone heavy personal at me in ways that I thought were unprofessional. That’s fine. That’s his decision to do that,” todd added, according to The Hill.
Todd was referring to a column titled “The Utter Hypocrisy of Chuck Todd” written on Hannity’s website, Hannity.com, that charged Todd with having a conflict of interest due to his wife’s consulting work.
