During the May 13 edition of Fox News' America's Election HQ, host Megyn Kelly reported on Sen. John McCain supporter Rev. John Hagee's apology to Catholics for controversial comments he made concerning the Catholic Church. Kelly then played a clip of McCain saying: "The fact that he has made an apology, I think, is very helpful. Whenever someone apologizes for something they did wrong, then I think that that's a laudable thing to do." Citing a Democratic National Committee (DNC) statement that called for McCain to renounce Hagee's endorsement, Kelly asked Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), "How do we go forward on this?" Lieberman responded: "John McCain never went to Pastor Hagee's church. He accepted his endorsement." But McCain did not merely "accept[]" Hagee's endorsement, as Lieberman suggested; he admitted having sought it, which Kelly did not note.

During an April 20 interview on ABC's This Week, after McCain said he "strongly condemn" "any comments that he made about the Catholic Church," host George Stephanopoulos stated, "Yet you solicited and accepted his endorsement." McCain replied: "Yes, indeed, I did." Later, when asked if it was "a mistake to solicit and accept endorsement," McCain replied, "Oh, probably. Sure." But when Stephanopoulos asked McCain, "So you no longer want his endorsement?" McCain responded: "I'm glad to have his endorsement."
