Sources: Sean Hannity once pulled a gun on Juan Williams
CNN ^ | 03/16/2017 | by Dylan Byers

Posted on 03/16/2017 3:00:10 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The Wall Street Journal columnist who called Hannity the "dumbest anchor" on Fox News is a "jackass," according to Hannity. The forensic psychologist who suggested a blood vessel had popped inside Hannity's brain is a "jackass." Even the conservative MSNBC host who sometimes criticizes President Donald Trump is a "jackass."

If you criticize Hannity, or the Trump administration, there is a fair chance he will call you a "jackass" on Twitter. The chances of being called a "jackass" by Hannity are significantly higher late at night. Of the 21 people Hannity called a "jackass" in the last year, nearly half were told off between 9 p.m and 2 a.m. Hannity, Trump's biggest backer on television, has said this is entertainment for him: "I am a counterpuncher," he told one Twitter user who asked why he was so antagonistic. "I do not start fights but I finish them. This is pure entertainment for me. If people take cheap shots I hit back."

Still, Hannity's version of entertainment can go too far. Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams, according to three sources with knowledge of the incident. He even turned on the laser sight, causing a red dot to bob around on Williams' body. (Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams and others on set.)

For the record: Hannity's colleagues brought the Williams incident to the attention of Fox News executives, though it's not clear whether anything came of it. The sources said it went to Bill Shine, the network's co-president and longtime Fox News executive, who is Hannity's longtime friend and a former producer.

Hi, onyx!

It’s obvious that Sean is effective at hitting the Left. Listen to the slander bubbling against him, and Kellyanne as well.

The vicious are out to destroy whole careers, of anyone who so effectively knows how and where to bite the Left.

Sean is over the target, imho.
Prayers up.

Yet another reason to ignore the liberal media.

Limbaugh was talking about that event, so he contacted Rich Lowery, who claimed that Buckley forever regretted it. However, you can check; Buckley wrote an article in the National Review to apologize for what he said, but actually never got around to apologizing.

What is left out of the narrative, if anyone wants to watch the complete video, is that Buckley was furious with Vidal over a long debate where Vidal was siding with the demonstrators who were calling soldiers who were dying in the war as deserving it, etc. Vidal just stepped on his last nerve.

“Even the conservative MSNBC host who sometimes criticizes President Donald Trump is a ‘jackass.’”

As if there were actually a conservative host anywhere on MSNBC...

They’re so threatened by even one voice of dissent in the media. Sean doesn’t hide his ideology like those jackals frauds do.

“Plus, he has weirdly whitened teeth against his fat, Beaver Cleaver face.”

Just imagine any boy having to grow up from childhood through adolescence being known for all those years as “the Beaver”.

Especially in middle school.

(1/2) This incident is being sensationalized – everything was under total control throughout and I never felt like I was put in harm’s way.
