SEAN HANNITY (HOST): One thing I will tell you, this town hall is not going to be like fake news CNN. I am not there to debate the candidate. I am not there to argue with the candidate. I am there to ask questions and let the candidate give their answer and let the audience ask their questions. That's my job tonight. That will be a great distinction.
"Well, Hannity, you went easy, you weren't like whatever those -- whoever the person was on fake news CNN that did hers." Okay, she was doing that show for an audience, a group of fellow journalists, so she'd be accepted into that elite, you know, ridiculous blue checkmark media cult on Twitter that talk to themselves in a bubble, that are out of touch with we the people.
So I'm doing the show so you can get answers from a presidential candidate that's leading for the Republican Party. It's not about me debating the president. And people can fact-check them all they want afterward, but the reality is I want to hear what he has to say in his own words and actually let him finish a thought, which was not very common during the first one.
