Sean Hannity scolds Fox News host who asked colleagues not to question Biden’s mental health – By Matthew Rozsa (Salon) / March 9 2020
Fox News has a well-documented history of making false claims about the health of Democratic candidates
Fox News host Howard Kurtz received a public chiding from Sean Hannity after warning his colleagues against questioning former Vice President Joe Biden’s mental fitness to hold office.
“Howie, being the President of the United States of America is the Hardest [sic] job in the world,” Hannity wrote in a series of tweets Sunday. “Whether any candidate has the physical strength, the stamina, the focus and mental toughness needed to do this job is critical. When someone repeatedly forgets what day it is, what state they are in, seems to be regularly confused, that needs to be discussed as part of a normal vetting process.”
Hannity then cited a moment in which Biden appeared to forget the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, adding: “Are you saying Howie that all of these “moments” are not at all alarming to you?? Thanks, but no thanks for the for lectures [sic].”
Kurtz criticized his Fox News colleagues for attacking Biden’s mental health during a Sunday segment of his show “Media Buzz.”
“I always criticize liberal commentators for saying things like ‘President Trump is mentally ill,’ and ‘President Trump has psychosis and he’s narcissistic’ and all that. So I do think it was unfortunate that some commentators on Super Tuesday — Brit Hume, Marc Thiessen, people I respect — said Joe Biden is senile or getting there,” Kurtz said. “I mean, certainly he’s forgetful with his memory lapses, and you can question his performance.”
