Hannity Criticizes Scarborough, Wallace as Fake Liberals on Podcast

NEW YORK, NY — Sean Hannity took aim at MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace during an appearance on the ‘Full Send‘ podcast on Thursday, suggesting they have turned their backs on conservative values for financial gain.

Hannity’s remarks centered on Scarborough’s history as a Republican congressman from Florida. He expressed skepticism over Scarborough’s political transformation, stating, “I mean, am I really supposed to believe that Joe Scarborough, who used to represent the most conservative district in Florida, all of a sudden became a liberal? It seems kind of expedient to me that he wanted to be on television, get paid a nice big check.”

During the podcast, hosted by Kyle Forgeard, Hannity also criticized Wallace, insinuating that both hosts’ current liberal stances are more about their television careers than their genuine beliefs.

The discussion comes amid ongoing tensions in the media landscape, where shifts in political loyalties are often scrutinized. Scarborough, who previously represented Florida’s 1st Congressional District, has co-hosted MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ since 2007 and often speaks on political issues from a liberal perspective. Wallace, also a former Republican strategist, transitioned from the GOP to a more liberal commentary role, joining MSNBC in 2017.

Hannity, a prominent figure in conservative media and a key host on Fox News, has been known for his partisan critiques, especially against figures who were once part of the Republican Party but have since aligned with left-leaning views.

The debate over authenticity in political commentary continues to be a contentious topic among viewers, as many question the sincerity of transitions between the two major parties.
