Fox anchor calls Sununu ‘snarky’ for quip about Trump’s age

Fox News host Harris Faulkner and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) sparred Tuesday over former President Trump’s age.

“This is the guy that was blaming Nikki Haley for Jan. 6 … If he’s off the teleprompter, he can barely keep a cogent thought,” Sununu said, mocking the former president. “This guy is nearly 80 years old.”

Faulkner interrupted the governor, saying, “He’s 77.”

“Yeah, that’s nearly 80. We’ll do math later,” Sununu shot back.

“Oh, you are so snarky,” she joked in return.

Sununu has endorsed Nikki Haley, Trump’s former United Nations ambassador, for president ahead of Tuesday’s primary election in New Hampshire.

Trump was asked this week about taking a cognitive test and suggested he would score better than Haley, who opened her campaign for president by advocating for such a test for people seeking public office over the age of 75.

Trump blasted Sununu and mentioned his appearance on Fox in a social media post Tuesday.

“Why does Fox keep putting New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu on??? Every time I mention his name at a Rally, they BOOO like crazy,” Trump wrote. “He’s all jacked up on something, but he ran for President, without having the courage to announce, and did really poorly. To have this loser on so much is really bad TV.”
