ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos may have tarnished his reputation for good after failing to disclose his ties to the Clinton Foundation while reporting on the foundation.
“This was a mistake and I’m not sure he’s going to be able to recover from it any time soon,” Brit Hume, Fox News senior political analyst, said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Karl Rove, former Bush White House adviser and Fox News contributor, also called out Stephanopoulos and said he should have been more upfront about his Clinton past. Rove took a jab at himself during a panel discussion. “I’m not a journalist… I’m a pundit,” he said.
Stephanopoulos apologized Friday to his viewers for his failure to disclose $75,000 in gifts he made to the Clinton Foundation while he was covering Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and foundation controversies.
Stephanopoulos had apologized Thursday for not revealing the contributions -- initially reported at $50,000.
But an ABC official later told Fox News that the contributions actually totaled $75,000.
