MILWAUKEE — At a Tuesday morning interview hosted by Axios, Donald Trump Jr. said something at once shocking and obvious to anyone who had been paying attention to the cable news appearances of the former president’s son: He had been blacklisted by Fox News.

The disclosure didn’t sit well with at least one Fox News host, however, and this host — Sean Hannity — looked to rectify the situation almost immediately.

Hannity invited Don Jr. on his show Tuesday night for Fox News’ coverage of the Republican National Convention. And Don Jr. obliged. The former president’s son spent about 15 minutes talking about his father’s support in the party, the convention, the assassination attempt and the upcoming election.
