Sean Hannity on Tuesday night apologized after m'ladying in defense of "capitalism" in response to a Tucker Carlson segment slamming Amazon owner Jeff Bezos for making $13 billion in one day and profiting off the corona pandemic as small businesses are being shut down by the state.

WATCH:

Tucker Carlson ended his show by criticizing the fact that Jeff Bezos has gotten richer during the pandemic.

This was Tucker's segment which came right before:

Tucker On Bezos Cashing In During Pandemic

"20 years ago if a captain of industry had made $13 billion in a single day while the country got poorer, @TheDemocrats would've had something to say about it. Not anymore because the ppl getting rich are members of Democratic Party." pic.twitter.com/SDE6Daj1zo

Hannity addressed the incident on Twitter after his show was over:

I was very clear I support capitalism. If someone is honestly providing goods and services people want, need, and desire I’m fine with that. If they capitalize on tragedy, that’s a different issue and I was very clear. I’ve seen no evidence of that. But if I do, watch out.

People are being thrown in prison for running their businesses in violation of lockdown orders and Big Tech is backing these authoritarian measures, silencing dissenters and pushing for the lockdowns to continue indefinitely while getting richer than ever but Sean hasn't seen any "evidence" they're exploiting the situation.

I was reiterating Tucker’s point on NOT being versus capitalism. I was in the chair one minute before airtime and I was specifically responding to the end of Tucker’s interview when he said he supported honest capitalism, I had not heard any of the other part of the interview.

He eventually issued an apology:

I apologize for any misunderstanding to Tucker and the fox audience. I support freedom and Capitalism. Not people taking advantage of a pandemic. If I see such evidence I will obviously condemn it.

Hilarious.

It wasn't the best apology but the notion GOP shills as popular as Hannity may have to start apologizing for shilling to keep their audience is pretty sweet.
