Fox News pundit Sean Hannity warned fellow host Geraldo Rivera that his mic was hot Tuesday night after Rivera was heard calling Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “so annoying” before the network broadcast the senator’s victory speech.

“We’re just going to dip in real quick and watch the socialist, Bernie Sanders, step up to the microphone,” Hannity said during the network’s election coverage. “There he is. You know, ‘to each according to his need, from each according to his ability.’”

“So annoying! The guy is so annoying!” Rivera said after the video feed had switched to Sanders’ live speech.

“Your mic is hot! What are you saying?!” Hannity said with a laugh.

Rivera didn’t seem to mind. “I believe he’s so annoying! People who think his supporters are going to Trump are smoking dope!” he said as Hannity laughed heartily in the background.

The Fox News panel descended into confusion, with each member heard speaking over each other, with some talking about polls and others laughing.

The network went on to broadcast a 30-second clip of Sanders’ speech after winning the West Virginia primary.
