Last night there was a weird exchange that people noticed as Tucker handed off to Hannity:
Tucker Carlson ended his show by criticizing the fact that Jeff Bezos has gotten richer during the pandemic.
Hands off to Sean Hannity who refutes him. pic.twitter.com/bspPD3Y5dF

As the Daily Caller noted in the tweet, Tucker was suggesting that Bezos was perhaps making too much money during the pandemic. But the segment was really more about the hypocrisy in the Democratic Party over something like this.
You can watch the full segment below by Tucker to get more context:
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

When Hannity appeared to defend Bezos, you saw the odd look on Tucker’s face. Twitter users saw it too and some began tweeting that Hannity’s “claws came out”, suggesting there’s a problem between Hannity and Tucker.
Hannity jumped on Twitter and apologized for any misunderstanding and explained why he said what he said:
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.

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.
