Hannity Accidentally Calls Hillary 'President Clinton'

October 31, 2017

Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night accidentally called two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "President Clinton" while questioning what she knew about the so-called Uranium One deal.

"So now that we have no Trump collusion, here's what we do have tonight," Hannity said. "This is what the media will ignore. This is what matters. These are the facts. This is where the evidence comes in. What did President Clinton—or President Clinton wannabe, President Obama, and key members of the administration, what did they know about the Uranium One scandal?"

Hannity delivered a blistering monologue by blasting the former secretary of state and arguing that her Uranium One deal was a bigger scandal than the indictments of Trump's presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort, his longtime business associate Rick Gates, and the guilty plea of Trump's former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.

The Fox News host has been an outspoken supporter of Trump and has been a vocal critic of Clinton for several years. He has spent the last week criticizing Clinton for her role in the so-called Uranium One deal, an Obama-era sale of a uranium mining company to Russia's Atomic Energy Agency, Rosatom, that was approved by the Obama administration in 2010.

Hannity went after MSNBC host Rachel Maddow last week for not asking former Attorney General Eric Holder about the deal.  Holder at the time was overseeing the FBI as the head of the Department of Justice and was one of the nine voting members, along with Hillary Clinton, on the committee that approved Uranium One.

Hannity reiterated his criticism of Maddow, calling the interview "media malpractice," and asked her MSNBC colleagues if they were "proud" of the interview.
