CNN morning show host Alisyn Camerota on Tuesday questioned whether Fox News should be called a “news organization” after one of the network’s biggest stars, Sean Hannity, joined President Trump onstage Monday night at the president’s final campaign rally ahead of the midterm elections.

“They know, vaguely, that they’re not supposed to have one of their hosts endorse a candidate or a party,” Camerota said in reference to the top-rated cable network. “But Sean Hannity can’t help himself.” 

“They’re having a schizophrenic moment over there trying to figure out what their role over there is supposed to be with the Trump presidency,” Camerota continued on CNN’s “New Day.”

“Can you imagine [CNN anchor] Don Lemon campaigning for Stacey Abrams?” Camerota asked her panel of guests, referring to the Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia. “Don Lemon being able to take the podium?”

“I mean, when people say that there’s no difference and when Fox tries to consider itself a news organization, they have some complications at moments like this,” Camerota added.

Camerota’s criticism came the morning after Hannity, who hosts the highly rated “Hannity,”  joined Trump on stage at his campaign rally in Missouri on Monday night, even though the news host tweeted earlier in the day that he would “not be on stage campaigning with the President.”
