Sean Hannity v. Keith Ellison: Fox Host The ‘Worst Excuse For A Journalist’ [Video]

Sean Hannity v. Keith Ellison: Fox Host The ‘Worst Excuse For A Journalist’ [Video]

If you don’t watch Hannity, you missed a peach of a fight last night between host Sean Hannity and Democratic congressman Keith Ellison. The whole segment basically consisted of Ellison on the offensive, slamming Hannity both professionally and personally, while the Fox host struggled to get a word in.

While Hannity set the terms of the debate on the national debt, Ellison launched into an angry tirade against the host, accusing him of being “immoral” and a liar, reports The Washington Post. He continuously cited Hannity’s placing of blame on Obama for the debt crisis and the sequester, while he maintains that out current fiscal woes are the fault of congressional Republicans and Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush.

“You are the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen,” Ellison started, branding Hannity a “shill for the Republican party.” Hannity allowed Ellison to “keep ranting” for well over three minutes.

Hannity tried to get a question in, to which Ellison responded “No, wait a minute, you said I could rant, and I am.” Ellison continued his tirade, prompting Hannity to ask “Why are you so angry?”

Hannity then tried to get a question in, but Ellison wouldn’t let up on his rant. At the end of the segment, Hannity cut off Ellison, calling him a “total waste of time.”

Hannity is no stranger to tense, ideological melees. Most recently, he sparred with a Think Progress reporter over “backing out” of his offer to be waterboarded back in 2009. Senior reporter Scott Keyes called Hannity an “honorable guy” and asked:

“To prove that it’s not torture, you agreed on your television show to be waterboarded for charity and to donate the proceeds to the troops’ families [...] when are you planning to hold the event?”

Hannity ducked the issue, replying:

“You’re obviously taping this. I’m not getting into your five-year-old issue. Here I am bringing you on the program and give you an opportunity to give your pretty radical left-wing point of view, that’s kind of the way you treat me. But that’s all right.”

Watch video below, via Mediaite, but tell us what you think. Is Congressman Ellison a whiny Democratic malcontent, or a hero for standing up to Sean Hannity?

  1. An Excellent example of Liberal attack actions……… They will NOT discuss facts or discuss subjects reationally because they know they can't win…. their only "Win" tactic is to degrade, talk over, and ignore their opponent…. When dealing with them it is best to remember a quote "Do not argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

    There is no argument, Ellison is a typical whiny Liberal that believes talking or shouting over someone is the way to win an argument. Massive fail on Ellison.

    HANNETY IS THE HEAD IDIOT MOUTH PIECE OF THE TEA-PUBLICAN /LOW-INFORMATION /PROPABANA WING! FOXX SPEWS! DEAL WITH IT SOD BUSTERS!

  4. Ellison just another LOUD mouth……………………

  5. Finally, someone tells the truth about this jerk Hannity. What a clown. Well, there is one thing I admire about him…..he is a successful "whore", making millions of $ from "rednecks" and "right-wing-nuts". As a businessman I will give him his due. Too bad those "mind-set in 1,800's" Tea Party folks are diminishing. At least from Hannity's earning potential. For me, good riddance to them.

  6. Blah, Blah, Blah…..and meanwhile we are still 16 trillion in debt and 23 million people are without jobs. Gas is $4 a gallon and still NOTHING. I'm sure Bush caused SOME of the problem but I for one am growing tired of this DEBACLE and the fact that the DEms only answer is that Bush created it. If he did create it then why don't you fix it? It's been 5 years for God's sake.

    Sean Hannity is a shill for the Republican Party, for that matter most of the Fox commentators are. And Sean's guests like Karl Rove and Dick Morris were worse yet. Michelle Mallkin is an absolute joke. But Hannity's ratings post Obama election are dropping like a rock anyway. Sean Hannity is a pundit, not a journalist. CNBC is just as bad on the liberal side. Watch CNN for less biased opinions.

    Hannity has become as bad as Glen Beck, his show is neither fair or balanced and is filled with as many lies as any speech the President gives. I think they both need to write on the chalkboard "I will not deceive the American Public". I was so glad when Allen Combes left the show and now I wish he were back to keep Hannity in check. I have stopped watching his show because I no longer believe in the man.

    I didn't see the show, but would Ellison rant like this if Hannity was a shill for the DNC like 96% of American journalists?

  13. Ellison could not come up with ONE FACT to back up his running of the mouth. If just lashing out is how you win well then he won. If on the other hand you back up what you say with the truth and the facts then THAT is truly how you win. This is what use to be the way the media report the news now as I read this and see how the reporter is trying to pull the wool over everyones eyes I just shake my head and say this country will never be great again with the news trying to lie to the American People.

If only small faction of them are like him, all of their meetings would turn into shouting matches! What a classless thing to do by this congressman. He goes on the guy's show, not to argue the case for his party, but instead to launch an attack on Hannity. He had the opportunity to try to make an argument that is constructive to the right-wing viewers, instead he looked like a child.

  44. I love how Democrats continue to blame the deficit on Bush and the Republicans when Obama and the Democrats in the last 4 years have nearly doubled the deficit and have spent more money in 4 years than Bush did in 8 years – and that's while fighting two wars. So the excuse that the deficit is all the fault of Bush is a (yawn) tired lie. Simply, Democrats would rather scream and point fingers rather than take responsibility for their actions.

He'll have a guest like Ron Paul and then won't let the man have a word in and insults him and makes sure there are other guest there who help him. Hannity usually spewing BS and calling them facts without any proof. The Tea party motto if I say it. it is true.

    Sod busters? Gee, Mike. How is it that you think anyone who is a conservative must be either a dirt-farmer, a hick, or whatever other stereotypical comment you can think of? Look, it isn't right for either side to simply call each other a bunch of names and think it solves anything. I'm just as upset with the others here with the "typical this, and typical that" as I am with your sod-buster comment. While I might disagree with your stance, I don't think you are an idiot for having it. We all have our opinions based on our life experiences, but we have to come back to the fact that we are all Americans. We're all being "separated" by the media and politicians while we need to come together. Dr. Benjamin Carson said it best. "For an eagle to fly, it needs a right wing and a left wing."

    If a conservative displayed this kind of anger and ranting, liberals and the media would label it bullying. It's the double standard that is so discouraging to watch, and nobody holds the liberals and media accountable anymore. While I don't agree with everything Hannity says or HOW he says it — at the end of the day I believe he is intellectually honest. As my grand father used to say, "Don't get in a mud wrestling contest with a pig. You will both get dirty and the pig will enjoy it." Hannity refused to jump in the mud with Ellison. Kudos to Hannity. Shame on Ellison.

He needs someone to go to his parents' house and punch his momma in the mouth. All he did was spew racist, white-hating fecal matter. He can't admit that this is D0Hbama's economy now and the dumbass-in-chief promised all of us that if he didn't have the economy turned around in three years, he would not run for re-election…well, we're still screwed on the economy and he decided he wanted another four years to screw it up more.

    If it would be a liberal host and a conservative guest, the article would say how badly the conservative guest behaved. The same way when Alex Jones went on Pierce Morgan, the liberal media reported how improperly Alex Jones behaved. Now we have the situation reversed, and its Hannaty's fault, that this congressman acted like a buffoon. It is just show no matter what the right do, the media will always blame them. One of the point Keith Ellison was making when Hannaty asked him about the $16 Trillion debt, 6 Trillion under Obama, this buffoon of a congressman, said that what about the other presidents before Obama, they made $10 Trillion. So, it is ok to make the national debt $6Trillion in less than 4 years, but according to this congressman the bigger problem is that we spent $10 Trillion in 200+ years. What a genius, and I hope we will have leaders like him, so we could have $20 or $25 maybe $50 Trillion national debt. What a leader, and whoever voted for this moron I hope will deserve what he/she gets.

  102. While it's embarrassing that there aren't many Democrats that will comment on issues and somehow imagine that rude behavior is all that's needed to 'debate', it's also true that these tactics are working to convince most Americans that the TEA party and other conservatives aren't worth listening to. The nation is getting what it deserves.

How about Rachel Maddow? Or Bill O'Reilly? They're all talking heads with a very biased opinion. Going on their show(s) and acting like a fool is childish, not heroic.

Much like Joe blowhole Biden in the VP debate, Ellison figured if his opponent had no opportunity to speak than he would not have the opportunity to prove the democrats ignorance.

I find when you present the facts these type of people totally ignore the conversation. It shows their ignorance and inability to get things done. A real problem in WDC today.

I'm sure he'll spin it some how, as he does with his standard web of lies. Whatever people. Get over it and stop whining.

    Timothy, Ellison couldn't be to the right or be right on anything, much less about Hannity. Hannity isn't a Journalist, but an Opinion Show host. He has an opinion to the right and Bab Beckel and Juan Williams have opinions to the left and they try to discuss it. Hannity has guests from both sides of the aisle and he tries to have a discussion. With Ellison it was a pitiful display of stupidity. Sharon Vazquez Ellis, there really isn't a need to put race into this. it is a culture of takers we are against. Skin color means naught, To paraphrase MLK, it is the content of a mans character, not the color of his skin that defines him.

  152. I've never heard of the show or the host, but after reading the article I would point out to Mr. Ellison he should go back and study the Clinton administration, with particular emphasis on Messrs Dodd and Frank and their impact on lending and the housing market.

ATTACK THE MESSENGER. That is, and has been, Rule 1, Page 1 of the Democrat playbook since the early 1980's. It's the only thing that got Obama reelected. Remember? Mitt Romney was a murderer. Mitt Romney was a felon. Mitt Romney was a tax cheat. Mitt Romney hates dogs….. etc..etc.. This Ellison guy is as big a fraud as Obama is. When Hannity asked him a question… he refused to answer and admitted he was there to do nothing but rant. It's the tool all liberals use. Talk over and talk louder…. and the gullible and uninformed will swallow it like tripe. Hannity did exactly what he should have done. He gave this guy a mile of rope, and he not only hung himself, but hung liberalism as a whole. AND BLAME BUSH? Are you kidding me? This guy is a bigger fool that Biden and Kerry combined.

    Hannity has never denied he is a conservative and stands for conservative principles. However he is not a Republican. Just because he blasts President Obama and the Democrats for their failed economical and morally bankrupt agendas, does not make him a shill for the Republican Party. He also blasts the Republicans for going along with the Democrats and for their own ignorant actions when it comes to the economy.

    One thing Hannity does that the liberal mainstream media doesn't do is tell the truth in a story. He does not edit the story to fit his agenda. He provide you with the entire story on and lets the viewer decide which is right and wrong. If he provides an opinioned story he tells you that it is hios opionion.

    What will never cease to amaze me is how we are under a second term president who made a large amount of false promises for his first election, and when he could make none of them happen, points all blame back to his predecessor, like most failures do. Now these arguments are the only type of claims current democrats can make because there is no valid claim to make. Fox News is not perfect, but they are the only news that ever buck the trend of running all these false covers to alter perception that Obama is actually doing a good job (unlike MSNBC and CNN). Unemployment will continue to grow, as will debt, taxes and in 2014/15 when all these "Obama" Care back pages start going into effect we will see how nasty this will become. So Sad!

    Timothy Sexton – for someone so concerned with the truth, let's have Obama come clean about that Benghazi "video" that he said for weeks caused spontaneous riots in Egypt and Libya. I guess to liberals, they like to talk about truth but don't know what it means.

  200. Curt Pangracs…."them"? I assume you are talking about congress members being like Ellison right? so who exactly are you referring to as "using race…for anyone who disagrees with them"?

    you go girl!!! I am with you! Nothing has been done on either side, Hannity is NOT wrong on his debating. The Republican party is NOT always wrong, but when they are they take it and make it work for EVERYONE. Not just the chosen few that the Democrats have chosen.

  202. Timothy Sexton So now I understand why your head is up your back side , you are living in the land of furits and nuts. We can talk when you grow up and get in the real world.

  203. Clay, I thought that it came from the Dumocrats. Just look at Benghazi! The president got on national TV and lied to the American public. He knew from the beginning what was happening, but fundraising was more important than saving American lives. Oh, I forgot the the Taliban was on the run.

    ballyduffw13 Hard to believe 96% of jounalists are shills for the DNC when 4 major news media corporations own 90% of all the television & radio- and they are all Republican.

  205. Keith Ellison is a prime example of what is wrong in our political arena today. A mouth running freely with no brain attached. Hannity deserved credit for not shutting off his microphone when he wouldn't shut up. You can take people out of the ghetto but you will never get the ghetto out of some people. That is one extremely pathetic knee-grow.

  206. Ellison sure fought hard not to answer any question!

  207. you were crying the first year an you havent stop yet so wipe your tears an pick up the cross that you vainly believe in

    I listened to the whole exchange and did not hear Ellison address any of the issues. I don't think he had any answers, but it doesn't shock me. His boss has no answers either. A thug defending a thug.

  209. Lots of info, but no facts, Timothy…first, Hannity is NOT a journalist, he is a commentator, so Representative Ellison is not "110% right" because he doesn't even know the difference between a commentator and a journalist. Next, you say the Republicans are the "party of no", yet Obama and his cronies say there will be "no cuts without increases in revenue"! That sounds like a "no" to me. Pelosi and the rest of those idiot Dems are now selling this fiscal mess as "not a spending problem, but a deficit problem"…hey Pelosi, there wouldn't be a "deficit problem" if there wasn't a spending problem. But the Dems just think the American Public is too stupid to realize that…and I guess a majority of the American Voters are, as they have voted Obama to a 2nd term. Finally, when are Obama and the rest of the Democrats going to stop whining about the problems they 'inherited". Instead of proposing problems, they just do things like Rep. Ellison did last night on the Hannity Show…scream, shout and avoid the topic! I don't remember anyone holding a gun to Obama's head and forcing him to be president, do you? No, I think he CHOSE to run for and become the president, promising to fix all these "immoral problems" President Bush caused. So, as I see it, he chose to take on these problems…too bad he hasn't, and quite frankly, does not want to fix them.

    Hannity is not a journalist anymore the Faux News is truly a news station, it's a political show and should not advertise as news. At least MSNBC doesn't call their show "news". They call it what it is- "Politics Nation", etc.

    Why do people, especially liberals have such short memories? Obama and Ellison continue to blame Bush for our problems. Let's look at what happened in the late 90's under Clinton. First he nullified the Glass- Steagall act of 1933. This act prohibited banks from delving into stocks and other risky ventures. He also signed into law NAFTA. the North American Free Trade Act. This allowed businesses to move their operations to Mexico without government interference. Remember Ross Perot saying, do you hear that sucking sound, that's american jobs going to Mexico. Lawyers, with Clinton's blessing, began to sue banks and loan companies to force them into making loans to people that could not possibly pay it back. Obama was a huge player in suing these banks. Liberals, your Gods had a big hand in starting our downfall. Why don't liberals remember the bad things their heros do? Ellison is just another example of a non thinking motor mouth liberal. Can't any of you think for yourselves? Why don't you watch what Obama is doing? Why can't you ever check out the facts before you speak? Does Obama and your party do all of your thinking for you? BTW, I'm not a republican. I'm an independent that votes split tickets. I vote for the person I believe will do the best job. Not a party.

    Typical liberal tactic – keep talking and "ranting" (Hannity was right) with no hint of a rational discussion. Not surprising, same state that elected Al Franken and Walter Mondale. Keep up the great work, Minnesota!

  213. Clay Clay That you could write something like this is beyond comprehension. BHO is a bold faced liar doing more to destroy this Country than anyone could ever imagine. How anyone could support him is to not grasp the reality of his ineptitude. If only you and others like you could be held responsable.

    Timothy if you are in College I understand why you would say Hannity is wrong…but once you grow up you will see that Ellison is wrong…

  215. If you have ever watched Hannity before, then you know he likes to invite guests and then use 2/3 to 3/4 of the exchange telling the guest his thoughts, usually iterupting or shouting them down constantly.
    That's why I stopped watching him. Sorry I missed his comuppance.

  216. I watched the show. It was disgusting the way Congressman Ellison behaved. If I had employed him in the public world, I would have fired him. He was rude, wouldn't shut up. I even begged my husband to change the channel because I could take his personal tirade on Hannity. It truly disgusts me to know we have elected such nonsensical, attacking, and abusive people to head our country. No matter his political affiliation, that behavor should not be tolerated. I would have shut off his mike if I were the host.

  217. Actually the United States had a balanced/surplus budget in 2001. So it took 7 years not 200+.

  218. obviously you have being educated an being intelligent twisted ever heard of an educated fool clean your mirrow

    I watch this and thought to myself what is this congressman Ellison babbling about. It made no sense! If you don't plan on debating the facts on both sides then why bother going on a conservative news program in the first place? In all I don't like it when anyone interupts the other but the congressman come away looking like a political hack for the president reguardless of any facts, pro or con. Sorry to tell them this is no longer all G.W. Bush's fault its now your problem stop pointing fingers at eachother roll up your sleeves and get to work on fixing it!

    Mary, where were you and the rest of the Repugs when GW Bush sent 4,200 of our young men and women off to die in a war based on lies in a country that hadn't attacked us? Where were you when our embassies & consulates were attacked 10 times when GW was President and over 50 of our staff were killed? Republicans hid in the "Bushes" while all that was going on and now want to hang everything on Benghazi, wow, amazing.

    Timothy Sexton- As Sean has ALWAYS stated in his program – he is not a Republican he has always claimed to be a conservative…they are not the same thing. Also Sean never claimed to be a 'journalist' he is a political commentator and there too there is a difference.

  228. Hannity finally got some of his own medicine. He usually puts down liberals and tries to belittle them. This congressman, as rude and uncivil as he was, was just getting ahead of the abuse.

    You guys are a special kind of stupid. I think both liberals and conservatives are pathetic…….with that being said, it's funny how you conservatives are attacking a liberal who attacks Hannity on a network that does nothing but attack liberals 24/7. The hypocrisy on both sides is mind numbing! At the end of the day, both groups are nothing but trained parrots who squawk back talking points they've heard from their favorite respective cable news, excuse me……….propaganda channels and then pretend that they actually know what's going on politically in this country and the world. In the last 100 years, the citizens of the U.S. went from people who were respected around the world to nothing but a group of sheep who believe everything the little man reading off the teleprompter tells them. I apologize for interrupting this thread of ignorance however……….carry on entertaining smart people.

    When you can't argue the facts, as Ellison could not, you shout down the opponent. You belittle them and you deflect the issue (Bob Beckel is good for this one). He kept asking Sean to ask him the question but when Sean tried Ellison started his ranting again. Congress is all a bunch of little kids who don't know how to play well together (R and D's alike) and we the American People suffer because of it.

    It is clear the Inquisitr is not a news source as we can see how it is reporting this story. The editorial introduction to the subject is less than honest if you take the time to read the transcript of the exchange. Shameless but expected from a secondary tabloid.

  234. Get over yourselves. Everything the GOP, conservatives, and Tea Party have tried since 1980 has turned to poop and run the country into the ground. Hannity is an aunt with a capital C.

  235. I for one am sick of both sides of the isle. I don't care which side of the isle you are on in D.C., or whom you blame the mess on. If you are in D.C. you should be focused on working together and fixing the mess that our country is CURRENTLY in PERIOD (regardless of how we got there). This most recent fight between Hannity and a Liberal is yet another fine example of the fact that NO ONE including the current Obama Administration or anyone in Congress, The Liberal Media, or our Nation's Highest Law Makers takes seriously the fact that we need to get things turned around once and for all. I'm sick of EVERY LAST ONE OF ALL OF THEM putting the "PEOPLE" of the UNITED STATES in harms way to further their own selfish interests. And I'm beyond caring which party, or which media outlet they are siding for. Things SUCK EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE right now. And unless, and until Politicians, the Media, and our Law Makers are Prepared to STOP being selfish and START working together to come up with real solutions to the problems that CURRENTLY face our Nation, our ship that is the U.S. will remain SUNKEN! Not EVEN one of these politicians or lawmakers have had the moxie to look to the greatness of our forefathers and actually allow them to guide them at this point. And that is truly sad. We have WONDERFUL things in our own history that can be pulled from to help us right on up out of this mess, including (but not limited to) Original and Constitutional Amendments, The New Deal which was created back when we saw this large of numbers of people standing in soup lines, and forced to give children up to orphanages. I don't recall reading anywhere in our American History books (not even in my college days) that politicians (even the democratic ones) created such havoc as to propose that our country should "rethink" it's "form of democracy" and consider becoming "socialist" in deed and policy making, even during our darkest hours. And yet, somehow today, Washington policy makers, particularly on the Left side of the isle are "shocked" that they are having a difficult time pushing things through? Newsflash: There's this thing called the 5th Grade that is available to almost anyone and everyone that attends American Public Schools. If you are able to take and pass a basic 5th Grade History Class, you will find out that our Nation did not start out as a "Socialist" or "Communist" Country. And, during times of strife, it has been the general response, Historically Speaking, that Americans tend to "band together" to find a solution. Historically our Politicians do the same, rather than "waste time pointing fingers". May I propose the simple solution of using those majority Ivy League Educations that the majority of those in D.C. profess to have, to look back upon those of your predecessors, and perhaps you may find a solution or two sitting right in front of you!

    Clay Clay and Timothy Sexton…you guys have jobs or what? If so, please attend to them and quit your unfounded, ignorant rants.

  237. Frank, You hit the nail on the head. Both sides are so ingrained with pushing there parties agenda that they won,t compromise and do what is best for this country.

  238. Face the facts, Everything the GOP, Conserbavtive, and the Tea Party have tried since Nixon has turned to poop. Get over yourselves. Hannity is an aunt with a capital C.

  239. What more could Ellison say……Other than the truth and that is all republicans are scumbags and essentially seem to hate America.

  240. Clay Clay – When? when did the republicans say this? show me ANY evidence to back this absurd idea up? What republican said this? when?

  241. And the worst part is they are correct, the majority are believing it.

  242. U two are sad, Clay and Timothy. Your so out numbered here. Just like the rigged election. There are a lot of idiots in the world and you two are the king of the idiots.

  243. Timothy Sexton what do you know about republicans, except whatever lies your party feeds you, and what you see through your liberal glasses? Take hannity or leave him, all this was is a liberal dem showing how unproffessional and immature he can be. He did not make his party look good.

  244. Loud Mouthed talk show hosts are not used to getting it back in their face, so is it a surprise when liberals come back in your face for misrepresenting the facts, Bravo Keith couldn't have said it better, the whole idea of a sequester was to for congress into making a decision, so they try to blame it on the president. The president just forced them to accept responsibilty for not doing their job, maybe docking their pay could have helped more.

  245. I don't know about anyone else but I am tired of the Democrats or the Republicans placing blame. We didn't vote them in to place blame. We voted them in to work together and fix the problem.

    Congressman Ellison is a whiny Democratic malcontent. I watched the show and Hannity was very patient with this bone head but I was thrilled when he finally said, the American People deserve better, and shut the bone head down, cutting him off the show..

  257. So with two people talking loudly try to drown out the other–the most logical thing is to use the "Off" button.

  258. No facts…kind of like no fact that Bush Jr. ran up the deficit and handed out no-bid contracts to a war that never should have happened? You mean THOSE facts? But let me guess, you select out the facts you don't want to accept…
