Sean Hannity called Trump 'bats--t crazy' behind his back, according to book by CNN's Brian Stelter
https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-sean-hannity-brian-stelter-cnn-crazy-20200821-xzzv6fftj5e67jokcnmpmeikua-story.html“Trump is a bats--t crazy person,” Fox News host Sean Hannity, one of the president’s biggest supporters, has reportedly said behind closed doors. But on air, it’s a different story.
A new book due out Tuesday by CNN’s Brian Stelter paints a portrait of Fox News’ co-dependent relationship with President Trump as conflicting, exhausting and embarrassing for many at the right-wing media outlet, where one anchor reportedly confessed, “We just surrendered.”
According to at excerpt published Thursday in Vanity Fair from Stelter’s tome, “Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth,” Hannity gets the best and the worst of that alleged partnership, allegedly playing the part of “a wife in a sexless marriage,” Stelter writes.
While detailing the life of riches that complicity has brought Hannity’s way, some of the more than 300 past and present Fox staffers Stelter interviewed describe the networks’ alpha as a generous and likable guy who tells people off the record that “Trump is a bats--t crazy person.”
