Trump’s New Mouthpiece Suffers Savage Snub From Sean Hannity

Fox News White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia has suffered a savage snub in what should have been a safe space: Fox News.

Conservative host Sean Hannity offered Zacharia a chance to explain herself on President Donald Trump’s favorite network on Thursday evening, two days after her first press briefing turned into a car-crash .

Zacharia, 41, took only three questions, all from conservative outlets, stumbled over her words, confused the president with her husband, and ended the briefing after just 14 minutes.

She has also faced about misrepresenting her legal credentials.

Trump bragged she was a lawyer when he announced her new role as his mouthpiece, but this week it was revealed she never sat for the bar exam after earning her law degree at Pepperdine.

At the end of an awkward, stilted seven-minute interview, the segment got brutal.

Hannity asked why she only took three questions in her briefing and what she might do differently going forward.

The Fox News host then said, “I can give you some unsolicited advice, that’s never gonna be a friendly room to you.” As she fumbled over her answer, Fox News began playing her out with music to signal an ad break.

“Yeah, so what I would say is, I would absolutely be very well prepared on the briefing, Sean, and I would love, and I do love questions, and I would love to build a relationship with all of those members of the press corps, so there’s a substantive, ah, component to us having an ability to interact,” she said, as the music played on.

She continued on: “I will be very prepared, Sean, and I will step up to the duty President Trump has asked me to as press secretary.” Journalist Aaron Rupar shared the final question on social media, saying the interview was “a disaster” for Zacharia.

“I’ve never seen Hannity do someone who works for Trump like this,” Rupar posted on X .

Noting she “crashes and burns on [checks notes] Hannity,” Rupar also said the “epic flame out” may see Zacharia beat Anthony Scaramucci’s record as 11 days as White House Communications Director for Trump in 2017.

He was fired days after he gave an expletive-laden rant to a New Yorker reporter, believing it was off the record.

One MAGA social media user posted , “Hannity was clearly out for blood.
