Hannity Slips Up About Trump During Ramaswamy Interview

Sean Hannity apparently thinks Donald Trump might not have been qualified to be president. The Fox News host and staunch Trump ally made the admission following an intense on-air clash with GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.After several minutes of arguing and shouting over each other, Hannity cut the interview, declaring: “Thank you.
