Sean Hannity went on the defensive after the California governor attacked Fox News.
Fox News host Sean Hannity lashed out at Gavin Newsom after the California governor criticized the network’s coverage of the U.S.- Israel i war on Iran . Newsom, 58, called out Hannity, 64, and two other Fox News personalities on X, claiming they had failed to cover claims that President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent “just handed Iran $14 BILLION by easing oil sanctions.
” Newsom was referring to the Trump administration’s move on Friday to ease sanctions on Iranian oil. The measure, aimed at boosting global crude supply and easing high energy prices,rising costs for American consumers. The decision has raised eyebrows since in 2016 Republicans, including Trump, criticized the Obama administration’s move to transfer $1.7 billion to Iran alongside a broader nuclear agreement. Trump at the time said the payments amounted to a “ransom.” Newsom publicly criticized Hannity and his Fox colleagues, saying they had failed to cover what he described as a major development.“Hey, @seanhannity — remember your years of rambling about Obama’s fake ‘pallet of cash to Iran?’ Your silence is deafening,” the California governor wrote.Newsom also targeted other Fox personalities, but tagged the wrong X handles. Around 1,500 Iranian civilians and at least 13 U.S. service members have died since Donald Trump ordered air strikes on Feb. 28.“@LauraIngraham, we know you’re in a tough spot because you’re in business with Don Jr., but do you plan to cover this?” he wrote. In another post, he said: “@JesseWatters, are you too busy covering my yoga poses to report on this BOMBSHELL about Trump funding Iran??”in an all-caps post on X: “WOW!!! LOW-RATINGS SEAN HANNITY MUST’VE LEFT HIS VOICE IN THE GREEN ROOM WITH ALL HIS MAKEUP!!! AFTER RANTING ABOUT THE FAKE OBAMA STORY FOR YEARS ABOUT ‘A PALLET OF CASH,’ SEAN’S TINY TONGUE IS GONE AFTER TRUMP GIVES IRAN BILLIONS. AT THIS RATE, LOW-RATINGS HANNITY WILL BE OFF-AIR DOING 3AM ‘SLEEPING PILL COMMERCIALS’ WITH HUCKABEE AND THE “MYPILLOW GUY.” SNOOZE FEST!!!"“@GavinNewsom you do make me chuckle,” Hannity began, going on to defend Trump’s handling of the conflict. “In case you’re not watching the news because you’re too busy tweeting, traveling the world, stalking me and President Trump and writing a book no one will buy and podcasting - Irans military and its nuclear program have been obliterated,” the Fox News host wrote.He then tore into the Democratic governor’s policies. “You have the highest gas taxes in the country... and let’s not forget highest sales and income taxes...and the highest homelessness and poverty levels,” he wrote. “Gavin you are less qualified than Kamala to run for president, but you and Katie Couric both think you are very handsome, I’ll give you that.” The exchange came amid broader political criticism of the Trump administration’s decision to temporarily ease sanctions on Iranian oil.in a statement on social media: “By lifting Iranian sanctions, Trump is allowing a $14 billion giveaway to a government actively trying to kill Americans – and it’s not likely to lower your gas prices much at all.” Newsom has made a name for himself over the past year by poking fun at the president and his allies on X, and his attack-dog image has boosted his profile as a potential Democratic candidate for president in 2028.
