Out journalist Anderson Cooper recently snagged interviews with Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, two alleged Trump mistresses, for CNN and 60 Minutes, respectively. Responding to the interviews, Fox News talking head Sean Hannity didn't critique the president, or even the women, but he did attack Cooper.

"After back-to-back, lewd, cringeworthy, creepy interviews with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal -- again allegations of a consensual relationship -- it looks like Anderson Cooper has now turned into CNN's Jerry Springer," said Hannity during his opening monologue on his show.

The Daniels interview led to massive ratings for CBS's 60 Minutes -- the highest for the show in a decade -- but to Hannity, the entire Daniels story is a simply a fixation of the press corps.

"Now that the media's Russia obsession isn't exactly working out according to plan, well instead of Russia, Russia, Russia, now it's Stormy, Stormy and more Stormy," he said. "The mainstream media's nonstop assault on President Trump and his character and credibility has reached a new low."

Hannity also referred to CNN news anchor as "creepy Anderson Cooper," and referred to CNN president Jeff Zucker was the "king of porn" for covering the president's alleged affair and cover-up.
