CNN’s Toobin: The Trump Admin ‘Has Become the Sean Hannity Presidency’

‘Franken had the decency to admit how wrong he was’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BLITZER: "How hypocritical, Jeffrey, is it?"
TOOBIN: "Very. Very, very. I mean, look, this has become the Sean Hannity presidency. The only response Donald Trump has to any political event now is identical to that of Sean hannity and Fox News. You know, Sean Hannity said, you know, he went after Al Franken and doesn't discuss the accusations against the president. Defends Judge Moore in Alabama. And that's how -- and that's what the White House reaction is. I mean, the idea that, you know, Al Franken had the decency to admit how wrong he was, that that makes it worse than someone who was caught on tape admitting sexually assaulting women as the president did, I mean, it's just completely absurd. But, you know, he is playing to his base, and that's what the base wants to hear, I guess."
