Hannity offers rare criticism of Trump
The Blaze ^ | February 27, 2017 | Tré Goins-Phillips

Posted on 02/27/2017 1:26:28 PM PST by TBP

In an infrequent moment of criticism, Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, an unflinching defender of President Donald Trump, admitted that the commander in chief is “too sensitive at times.”

Conservative radio show host and Washington Post columnist Hugh Hewitt, after arguing that Trump is “President Promise Keeper,” asked Hannity: “What’s the negative? What’s the one thing that bothers you about him?”

The Fox host, who agreed with Hewitt’s assessment that Trump has kept his campaign promises so far, said that it might, in fact, be the president’s stick-to-itivness that has hurt him. Hannity said Trump is “not a perfect person.”

“The difference between Trump and, say, other politicians, … they’ll say anything to get elected,” he told Hewitt. “[Trump] just stuck to what he believed in, and maybe that’s a fault.”

Hannity added that Trump perhaps “shouldn’t tweet out every thought he has,” ultimately concluding, “Maybe he’s a little too sensitive at times, I think.”

While President Trump has done a good job so far, I think Hannity may have a point. He does seem a little sensitive, and it's probably not in his interest to tweet every thought he has.

Huh? Sorry, I can deal with a tweet even if I would have not done so being in his shoes, as long as he continues to be true to his word. No fault in that, sorry Sean.

The GOP Establishment is such reliable propaganda whores for the Liberal Media machine. Can you ever imagine any Democrat being asked to criticize anyone on their own side?

No only the Vichy Republican like Hewitt spend all their time breathlessly looking for some reason to attack their own side.

They’ll offer minor criticism, tactical criticism, that kind of thing. But nothing substantive.

Gee how about they focus on fighting the Left for once. It would be a novel change.

Well, that’s it for Hannity. You either support Trump or you don’t.

Yup. Your typical Dem criticism of another Dem is something along the lines of:

She didn’t do a good enough job of getting her message out.

She didn’t show people the wonderful side of her because she is so attentive to policy details.

She couldn’t be heard over the right-wing noise machine.

etc.

Or even, maybe she should have spent more time in the Rust Belt states. (Which is a smart criticism, BTW.)

One can support President Trump without blindly supporting every single thing he says or does.

Anybody who thinks Trump tweets every thought he has is delusional.

And maybe those anybodies should not say some of the thinks they think.

Maybe Hannity thought there wasn’t enough criticism of Trump already so he added his own. Very helpful guy.

Oh big whoop! The world’s coming to an end because this history-making President is “too sensitive” as opined by one his biggest most steadfast supporters.

Hewitt is such an ass. Who listens to his rubbish?

Are you serious? Give us a break.

Hannity supports Trump. He simply offered his opinion on one thing. 99% of the time Hannity is behind Trump 100%.

Hannity as usual is right on. I hope Trump does lighten up on responding bigly to personal attacks. Hannity has borne the brunt of leftist hate for so many years; its one thing he does know better than Trump does.

Even some of his aides have told him it’s probably not in his interests to respond to everything and to tweet so much.

A fairly minor criticism, but not without some validity.

He supports Trump completely! That was one tiny suggestion! Who is perfect??

I completely agree with Hannity and totally support the president, at the same time.

He’s human. Not God. Are we supposed to worship him the way the left worshipped Obama? Pppffttt.

I’m just glad to have someone who fights back, unlike GWB who thought he could charm the left and fighting back was beneath the office. As a result he left the least popular president in modern history.
