NEWS'It Missed the Mark on a Lot of Fronts': Sean Hannity Criticizes President Joe Biden's Speech Pleading for Aid to Israel and Ukraine
Sean Hannity was not a fan of President Joe Biden's recent Oval Office speech in which he pleaded for people to send aid to Israel and Ukraine amid the ongoing wars.
On Thursday, October 19, the president addressed the country about the conflict, saying, “American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances are what keep us, America, safe.”
“American values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with,” he continued. “To put all that risk, if we walk away from Ukraine, if we turn our backs on Israel, it’s just not worth it.”

Though Fox News host Brit Hume praised Biden for giving one of his "best" speeches, Hannity said it was “clichéd, disjointed, and back and forth.”
“I felt a little bad – like you did – piling on our friend Brit Hume tonight, who we all respect and admire,” the TV star said to his guest Dana Perino. “Where is the discussion of the brutality?”
“I thought it missed the mark on a lot of fronts,” Hannity continued. “I did not have any expectations of Joe Biden tonight.”

Perino agreed with Hannity, saying the speech was "not good enough" and didn't "hit any benchmarks."
“I was prepared all day, Sean, to love the speech and to applaud it,” Perino added. “I wanted to say, ‘Wow. Amazing. America in the lead, taking the action that it needs to.’ And I just did not feel that way. Martha MacCallum made a point that apparently, they had written this Ukraine speech for a while. And it’s like, they topped it with the atrocities of October 7, which is not good enough. I just didn’t think the speech hit any of those benchmarks tonight.
Dana Perino also criticized Joe Biden's speech.
