WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host Sean Hannity recently called out MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace for their political shift from conservative to liberal, accusing them of making the change for financial gain. 

Hannity questioned their authenticity, pointing to their previous GOP affiliations, while firmly declaring his loyalty to "Reagan-era" conservatism and support for "Make America Great Again" and Donald Trump.

 Hannity questioned the authenticity of Scarborough and Wallace’s political transformations, suggesting their shift to liberal views was motivated by the desire for a "nice big check" from MSNBC.

Hannity criticized Scarborough’s move from a conservative congressman in Florida to a "big liberal Joe" on 'Morning Joe', calling it a strategic move for television and financial gain.

“I mean, am I really supposed to believe that Joe Scarborough, who used to represent the most conservative district in Florida, all of a sudden became a liberal? It seems kind of expedient to me that he wanted to be on television, get paid a nice big check. And so he goes on MSNBC, and now he’s a big liberal Joe,” said Hannity.

Hannity also turned his focus to Wallace, citing her past work with Republican figures like George W Bush and John McCain, and accusing her of shifting to the far left.

Hannity said, "She ran John McCain and Sarah Palin’s campaign. She worked for George W Bush. And now, she’s like radical, hardcore left-wing, Trump hating."

"Could she have had a change of heart? I don’t know. But I’ve kind of stayed consistent throughout my career. I’m a Reagan, Make America Great Again, Trump conservative. That’s how I describe myself," Hannity remarked.

Sean Hannity's criticism of former Republicans Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace sparked widespread debate online.

One social media user mocked, "Hypocrite Hannity accusing someone else of being a hypocrite? That's quite hypocritical. Coming from overpaid big mouth Hannity that is hilarious."

Someone else joked, "Cry more Lumpy."

One person suggested, "Who does what just to get a paycheck? Look in the mirror Hannity." 

One individual explained, "Sean Hannity is a Hypocrite.  He has been a conservative Republican and supports Donald J. Trump. Then he talks about Joe Scarborough and Nicole Wallace, give me a break." 

A user slammed, "Hannity doesn’t understand himself. He thinks he’s a Reagan conservative and a MAGA supporter. But those two things are nothing alike. There’s nothing conservative about Trump. Nothing."

An individual quipped, "Hannity has been faking being a news commentator for years. So he knows something about faking it."
