Absolute Mayhem: Cornel West Goes Berserk on Fox News' Hannity

Town Hall ^ | 6/10/2020 | Matt Vespa

Cornel West and civil rights attorney Leo Terrell were supposed to have a civil segment on defunding the police, urban violence, and Democratic incompetence at addressing these issues, but things went off the hinges almost immediately. It was absolute mayhem on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News. Hannity prefaced the segment about the Democrats’ inability to govern, which was interrupted by West. The shouting began almost immediately. Terrell hit back at West for just recycling old Democratic talking points. He then tried to have a discussion with West, “black man to black man,” which West did not take well at all. The two shouted over one another, with Terrell not liking West calling him “brother.”

I used to watch Hannity after Carlson. It is completely unproductive to watch any longer. He’ll ask the guest a question and just as the person starts to give an answer, Hannity drowns the person out with interjections. Can’t hear what the person said. Only things I watch on Fox now are Carlson, Ingraham, Bartaromo and Gutfeld.

West does this sort of thing regularly, he just doesn’t get punch back like this very often.

Cornel West is a racist, black Nazi pig.

The ravening leftist mob has been emboldened by the riots and spineless whites. They smell blood and need to be put down, like all rabid animals.

I’ve been watching a lot of his videos on youtube lately. I upvote and leave comments. I also flag as “spam or misleading” all the leftard videos...snicker....

Funny because not too long ago Terrell was the crazy one acting like Cornell West in the video. What happened to Terrell to make him come around? It’s like listening to a different person. I like it!

[cabbieguy]

OK, I thought it was Rush.

[MHGinTN]

Simultaneous monologues. West is a racist old fart. Period. He wants blacks on the demon rat vote slave plantation because he can continue to get paid for his racist rants, his irrational point of view, and his ugliness.

I actually enjoyed Terrell for once.

WHAT is up with Terrell these days?? He's actually sounding almost like a conservative lately, lol.

Same here, I like it as well! (Although I don't understand what the heck happened to him.) It's as if he's been 'Hannitized'. ;-)

[fortes fortuna juvat]

I tip my hat to both of them, they kept Hannity from interrupting them.

That’s funny, and so true!

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Only things I watch on Fox now are Carlson, Ingraham, Bartaromo and Gutfeld.

Same here except for Ingraham, who I can’t stand. Used to be the second I saw her face following Hannity I would switch to Lou Dobs. Now I can no longer stomach Hannity, Ingraham, or Dobbs.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

They smell blood and need to be put down, like all rabid animals.

Rest assured, that’s going to happen, it’s just a matter of time.

[Paleo Pete]

Exactly why I quit watching Hannity 2 or 3 years ago. He lets guests get out of control, or interrupts them constantly. Way too much yelling at each other, usually both at once, you can’t hear a thing either one says, I turned it off.

Not to mention the incredibly redundant nightly recital of the russian hoax talking points...I started watching Lou Dobbs instead, much better, saner and less stress...

I used to listen to Sean on the radio years ago when I was still working, and I'd try to catch his TV show from time-to-time. I don't know how it is now, because I don't watch any news programs, but back then, what he said on his radio show was basically repeated on his TV show. I also had a problem with him not challenging many of the guests he had on. He missed a lot of opportunities to push on with simple facts that were available at the time. I found myself frustrated, because if I could think of something to push the guest on, then Sean should have been able to do that too. I gave up.

I turned Fox off in 2000 when they called Florida early for Gore, and didn't go back until 9/11. Watched it in the months thereafter, and periodically as the years went by...but I never had it on 24/7 like I did when our cable company first picked it up. I watched the McCain/Obama debates, and the Palin/Biden debate, but once Obama was elected, I never turned Fox, or any other cable news program on again because I couldn't stand seeing, or hearing Obama on TV every day. I watched parts of the 2016 Republican convention, and on election night, I watched Fox Business News because someone on FR recommended it. I watched the Inauguration, and that's the last time I've watched any live TV news programming. Any speech or rally I've watched have been on my computer through links I get in emails from The White House. I won't turn any of the networks on.
