Talk host Sean Hannity offered his assistance to the Democratic governor in an extended afternoon radio interview, the NY Daily News reports.
“If there is anything I can do for you in New York, with my TV or radio show, you have it. It’s at your disposal," Hannity told the governor.
The Hill reports the interview between Hannity, a staunch supporter of President Trump, and Cuomo, a major figure in the Democratic Party, lasted nearly half an hour, and focused solely on the U.S. response to the virus. There were 15,000 confirmed cases of the virus in the U.S. and 7,500 cases in New York as of Friday. "Normally we'd be arguing about taxes and fracking," Hannity told Cuomo at the beginning of his radio program, adding that it's about "saving American lives" now.
"Nothing else matters," Cuomo agreed.
The right-wing host went on to praise both Cuomo and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, another Dem, for closing non-essential businesses and ordering people to avoid social gatherings.
“I thought this was the bold move on your part,” Hannity said. “I think it’s the right move. I will give Gavin Newsom credit. I’m not a big fan of his politically, but I think he’s done a good job.”
The kudos is a sea change for Hannity, who rarely has positive things to say about members of the Democratic party and referred to media coverage and the response to the virus as a “hoax” earlier this month.
