Rep. Keith Ellison Explodes on Sean Hannity (Watch)

   

Keith-Ellison-screenshot*Sean Hannity and Democratic congressman Keith Ellison (Minnesota) got into it on Tuesday’s “Hannity” after Ellison called the Fox News host, “the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen.”

Ellison was reacting to a music montage of President Obama that Hannity ran just before bringing him on. The clips, which showed Obama talking about the looming budget sequester, were scored to the famously apocalyptic “Carmina Burana.” Hannity said Obama was guilty of fearmongering when he talked about the potential effects of the cuts the sequester would impose.

After playing the clips, Hannity welcomed Ellison, who was in no mood to be chummy:

HANNITY: I guess that’s what we can describe as staying on message, something the Democratic Party I would argue is very good at.

ELLISON: You’re pretty good at it too.

HANNITY: Thank you.

ELLISON: Quite frankly you are the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen.

HANNITY: I can’t hear you.

ELLISON: You heard me.

HANNITY: No, say it again. I didn’t hear you.

ELLISON: What you just displayed was not journalism, it was yellow journalism. It wasn’t anything close to trying to tell the American people what’s really going on, and I mean, it’s just shocking.

Things did not get friendlier from there. Ellison also called Hannity a “shill for the Republican party,” an “immoral” man, and said he was violating “every journalistic ethic” in the book. Eventually, Hannity cut the interview short, saying it was a “waste of time” to continue.

  4.

LoL

    of course all the low life would like the nasty congressman. obama and the congressman cater to welfare, unemployed low lifes who stuff their faces with oreo’s on my money , without looking for work.

    • Steven welfare first of all was created for the white folks, by president FDR. it was not created for any people of color, so let me set you straight on that. 2) we who are Unemployed do not eat all day and sit and take money out of your check. My grandmother had six kids and she was never on welfare. she worked and my grandfather worked, and they managed with six children. there was no such thing for her and her family as welfare. Low life you should really try to know what your talking about before you speak. you sound like you got an attitude about the Unemployed. nobody is taking any money out of your check, but your own company. I’m Unemployed and have since 2011. so welfare is not apart of my life. so before you speak get your facts right.

      • steven levy says:

        im a low life, obviously you have a mental problem explaining why you got canned and bitter. So before you insult others, look at yourself and ask ” why”

        • steven I’ do not have any mental problems, and I have my opinion as well as you do
          I did not get canned at any position that I had. I was let go do to economic reasons that none of us has any control over. Now companies do not want to hire the Unemployed specially when it comes to people of color. so please don’t think for one minute that Iam bitter or upset at anyone, I was just letting you know when speak have your facts straight
          and stop blaming and pointing the finger at people who had to result to welfare to help there families. the things that your saying are unkind . You where insulting first and you talking about low life people and congressman who cater to lazy welfare people. so why do I have a mental problem. please don’t start e-mail wars with me I’m not your enemy. ( GOD BLESS YOU) have a blessed day.

        • Steve get your stupid red neck cracker ass off this website. If by chance you are a steppen fetchen house NEGRO, go hide your ignorant ass under a rock somewhere. You freak of nature.

    Shut the hell up Steven Levy! You hail from a ‘client state’ that skims off BILLIONS in aid from this country and if that’s not welfare then what is?! Stinkin’ azzholes…know your goddamned place!

  8. wow this congressman is a racist hypocrite. He had ties to that pos farakhan(pos animal) ..it figures he is his friend.

  9. Melodycool says:

    sl, you’re a disgusting bloodsucking parasite! Now go somewhere and indulge your thieving fraudulent nature.

  10. Melodycool says:

    It’s sickening how Eurweb allows racists dogs to repeatedly post their insults while censoring mine!

  11. Melody I don’t get it either, these rednecks posts keeps popping up and EUR does nothing…..for shame!

  12. Melodycool says:

    Platinum, they do nothing except suppress our responses to these cowardly cretins!

  13. Melodycool says:

    sl, a syphilitic mohel must have performed your bris using his mouth and tongue to infect you at 8 days old.

  14. Melodycool says:

    Sl, it’s clear to me why you constantly speak of familiarity with welfare because you’d shrivel up and die without it. I bet you’re spewing your daily hate straight from a nasty hovel in Kiryas Joel. Who’d a thunk it??

    [You know what else they possess? Staggering quantities of public assistance. Take the overwhelmingly Hasidic Kiryas Joel, the poorest place in America. As the Times reported last year, “half of [its] residents receive food stamps, and one third receive Medicaid benefits and rely on federal vouchers to help pay their housing costs.” And boy, do they have children: The median household in Kiryas Joel has six people, and the median age is twelve. Many of its men learn Torah full-time instead of working, and the community’s low high-school graduation rate would be even lower if its religious schools had real academic standards. These kids are hardly being “socialized to the world of work.” And it’s not just Kiryas Joel: back in 1996, at the heart of “welfare reform,” a full third of Williamsburg’s Hasidim received public assistance.]

  15. wow melody. the reality is im busy and your not putzo
    do keep in mind i pay more in tips than your owner does.

  17. Melodycool says:

  19. Melodycool says:

    Sl, you’re one knuckle dragging idiot. Get the f*ck out!

  20. People of EUR I know I am telling you something that is going to be very difficult and I imagine some of you will not be able to no matter how hard you try…but the best way to deal with Steve and people like him on these websites is not to deal with him at all..when they post don’t even acknowledge what they say, these people are probably sexually gratifying themselves when they get responses from people to their negative racial post..you coming back at Steve and his kind thinking you saying something that is hurting or upsetting him when in reality you giving just what they want..Attention and a place for them to rant their racist beliefs safely behind the keyboard where nobody can get to them. Stop playing into these racist perfect scenarios plzzz.
