Fox News Hosts React Back After Their Text Was Released Jan. 6 by Liz Cheney

Two Fox News hosts have railed against Republican Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming after Cheney disclosed their communications with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on the day of the infiltration of the Capitol.

Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham criticized Cheney for trying to pass on their text messages to Meadows – both saying action was needed from the then-President. Donald Trump to stop the riots inside the Capitol on January 6th – into something they couldn’t do.

“Can he make a statement? Ask everyone to leave the Capitol,” reads Hannity’s text to Meadows, released by Cheney on Monday during the Democratic-led investigation into the intrusion, according to Judge Washington.

Hannity responded about the text release on his radio show.

“The idea that I sent a message to Mark Meadows that day – on January 6th, and everyone in the crowd in the media – Lynda, are you watching the hysteria? … I mean, it was ridiculous, but predictable,” he told his producer, Lynda McLaughlin.

“Now, why are they releasing this, except that they’re trying to make a point?” Hannity said.

Then on Fox News In the TV show, he repeats his pose during his show’s opening monologue.

“Last night, in a feeble attempt to truly smear your, and perhaps, I guess, President Trump, Congressman Cheney presented one of my text messages from January 6 to Mark Meadows,” said Hannity.

“Surprise, surprise, surprise. I told Mark Meadows exactly what I said live on the radio at the time and on TV that night, on January 6 and then January 6,” he said.

“I am an honest, straightforward person. I say the same thing privately that I tell all of you,” said Hannity.

The Fox News host said Cheney was “interested in one thing and one thing only: smearing Trump and removing him from the party.”

He said his privacy was violated by disclosing his private communications.

“The media outrage over my private text messages being released publicly? Do we believe in privacy in this country? Obviously not,” said Hannity.

He said it would be interesting to see the messages passed between the Cheney and Trump clans as Trump pardons Scooter Libby, an aide to Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Ingraham’s message to Meadows, made public by Cheney, said, “Mark, the president needs to tell everyone at the Capitol to go home. This is hurting us all. He is destroying his legacy.”

Addressing the issue on Tuesday’s “Ingraham Angle,” she made it clear that any attempt to say she said one thing privately and another was a lie.

“This leaves the left-wing media under attack into a copy-and-smear mode. Now, of course, the regime’s media is somehow trying to twist this message to try to see me as a liar, a hypocrite, who sounded the alarm on this day. 6 January privately but publicly downplaying it,” Ingraham said.

“If they really care what I said on the night of January 6th or read any of my public tweets from the afternoon of January 6th, they can’t deny the truth,” said the host. Fox News said.

Then she showed many clips in which she denounce the riot followed by a peaceful protest against what the Make America Great Again movement was all about.

“It’s all public records now, kids. … The big lie is really the extended story on January 6 that these clowns have become central to their political existence,” she said.

“So it’s time to face the facts, close the false narrative, and treat Cheney and her clique the way Americans treat them: by correcting them.”
