Hannity Tries To Ambush Cruz, Fails

Hank Berrien

On Tuesday, Sean Hannity, whose coverage of Donald Trump has been extraordinarily favorable, tried to savage Ted Cruz by deciding to make the focal point of his interview with Ted Cruz the delegate selection process, which Donald Trump has been whining about for weeks. When Cruz stated that Americans had other pressing concerns that deserved more attention, such as the lack of jobs, Hannity responded by boasting, “I’m on social media with millions of people. I have 550 radio stations, and I have the top-rated cable show at my hour all across the board. And I am telling you that people are telling me they find this whole process confusing …”

Hannity explained how Cruz’s staff had contacted delegates and asked them to vote for Cruz on a possible second ballot. Then he attacked Cruz’s integrity, saying, “I really am asking you, it’s more than a process question, it’s an integrity of the election question, and everybody’s asking me this question so I’m giving you an opportunity to explain it.”
