Sean Hannity was booed by the audience during his town hall with former President Donald Trump for suggesting Trump should tone down his rhetoric to appeal to moderates.
Hannity said, “People ask me, ‘Why does he have to fight so hard? Why doesn’t he pick his fights a little more? Why does he have to call people names?’ And the only reason I think this is an important question is because these… I think everyone here tonight is likely voting for you, right?
“The 2024 presidential election would come down to those people that maybe are in the middle a little more who want Trump to just tone it down a hair, stop a little of the name-calling.”
The audience erupted in boos causing Hannity to say “No!”
“I said it’s their question. Leave me alone,” he fired back to the crowd. Hannity added that doing so “might help you with swing voters that are needed for you to get over the finish line.”
Trump shot down Sean saying: “From the day I got in I was under siege by people that had been in Washington for many years, put in there by many different presidents, in most cases people that were against me.
“They spied on my campaign.
“They did all sorts of things.
“I was under investigation and under siege and so were my people.
“And if I wasn’t tough, I wouldn’t be here right now.
“I guarantee you that.
“If I didn’t fight back, I wouldn’t be here.”
