Fox News Scolds Sean Hannity for Pro-Trump Video, Will Still Air His Town Hall With Candidate (Video)

Fox News will air Wednesday’s Donald Trump town hall event with Sean Hannity as planned even after issuing a stern statement that its primetime host should not partake in pro-Trump campaign videos.

Hannity came under fire on Tuesday when he appeared in a promotional YouTube video for the Trump campaign.

The Fox News host discussed Trump’s pledges to build a border wall, eliminate Obamacare, make America energy independent and defend the Second Amendment.

“We were not aware of Sean Hannity participating in a promotional video and he will not be doing anything along these lines for the remainder of the election season,” a Fox News spokesperson said.

Hannity explained in the video why he is voting for the Republican nominee.

The eight-minute video titled, “#HEARTLAND4TRUMP,” also features a “Benghazi hero” discussing how America is too politically correct, a hunter discussing his love of guns and even Ted Nugent talking about the negative traits of Hillary Clinton, among other things.
