President Trump gave a shout-out on Tuesday to Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt, pointing out their romantic relationship, during an interview on the channel’s morning show, “Fox and Friends.”
Speaking about what the president characterized as a safer Washington, D.C., since his efforts to crack down on crime in the district earlier this month, Trump suggested Hannity and Earhardt would now be more comfortable going out to dinner when they visit the nation’s capital.
“There’s a guy named Sean Hannity. He might take a very lovely young lady that he knows very, very well to dinner in Washington and they don’t have to … she’s sitting right next to you by the way … I don’t want to get him in trouble, so I better explain exactly,” Trump said. “That’s the greatest relationship. Those are two great people.”
Trump said of Hannity and Earhardt, “When they go out, I don’t want to see them get mugged.”
“They can hold hands, they can walk down the street, they’re both superstars,” the president joked.
Hannity and Earhardt, two of Fox’s longest-serving hosts, announced their engagement last year.
A prime-time anchor and personal friend of the president, Hannity was granted the first exclusive interview Trump gave after his high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week.
