Journalist Brit Hume worked for 23 years with ABC News before becoming anchor and managing editor of “Special Report” on Fox News. During his time with ABC, Hume served as chief White House correspondent from 1989 to 1996, so he knows a thing or two about covering the President of the United States.
On Friday, Hume weighed in on the heated exchange between NBC correspondent Peter Alexander, who asked what President Trump considered a “nasty question.” Hume responded to a post on Twitter by journalist David French, who wrote, “This was a legitimate question, the response is inexcusable.”
