In his forthcoming biography, the outgoing senator also takes brutal swings at Ron DeSantis, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mike Huckabee.
According to an excerpt seen by CNN, Romney writes that Sean Hannity was at one point overcome with jealousy toward Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host who spent several years atop the cable news ratings hierarchy. “I can only imagine that Sean is consumed with Tucker Carlson being ahead of him, and his everyday effort is to find ways to reclaim the throne as the most watched,” Romney reportedly told Coppins.
According to the book, Romney then called Hannity up, which led to a less-than-reconciliatory conversation: The host reportedly accused Romney of only seeking “praise on MSNBC” and demanded to know why Romney wasn’t better informed on Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. Hannity and Carlson aren’t the only Fox affiliates to get a mention in the book.
