Hannity Just Went Batsh*t Crazy And Attacked The New York Times

Fox News host Sean Hannity sent a very daring message to the New York Times, calling them “fake news” for writing an article that detailed his relationship with Donald Trump.

In the report it states that Hannity, who defends Trump on whatever he does, is also a private council to the president.

The Times reported that Hannity encourages Trump fulfill his campaign promises of repealing Obamacare and building the border wall.

After the article was published, Hannity slammed the Times in a Twitter rant.

@nytimes You colluded with HRC in 2016. It's none of your business who i do or do not talk too. Total fake news speculation about me/@POTUS

@nytimes Any conversation I have with ANYONE is supposed to be PRIVATE. I have NEVER talked to you. Was I surveilled and unmasked by u/NSA?

Hannity received a response to his Twitter rampage by one of the authors of the piece, reporter Maggie Haberman. She said that she did not understand why he reacted that way.

W all due respect, we were interested in who POTUS talks to, not you, and several ppl close to him cited you https://t.co/sb9y4nDJYt

Also reached out to Fox News pr, who took no issue w it. And it was hardly critical of you. Not sure why the reax https://t.co/sb9y4nDJYt

But Hannity kept insisting that the Times was reporting “fake news.”

The @nytimes has no clue who I talk to as I refuse to EVER TALK TO THEM! @POTUS knows you are FAKE NEWS and I doubt he talks to u either.

But again he got shut down by another Time’s reporter. This time is was Glenn Thrush who responded to his tweets.

I was once sitting with a Republican elected official preparing for an interview when he got an email from u giving him political advice https://t.co/lhn4UFQn7I

Haberman and Thrush both had an exclusive interview with Donald Trump earlier this month in the Oval Office.
