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.)
That was from an CNN report on the incident that was said to have happened in 2016, the biggest Trump trumpet on TV clearly has an issue if he feels the need to get a gun out on set.
This behavior is intimidating, in my opinion, even though the statement from Fox News to CNNMoney said:
“Sean Hannity has been trained in firearm safety since he was 11 years old and has a license to carry a gun in five states, including New York,” F. “The situation was thoroughly investigated and it was found that no one was put in any danger.
“
Hannity and Williams also provided a statement that said that
“While discussing the issue of firearms, I showed my good friend Juan Williams my unloaded firearm in a professional and safe manner for educational purposes only,”
“Every precautionary procedure that I have been trained in since the age of 11 was followed. I’ve had a conceal carry permit in five states for all of my adult life. Any other interpretation of this is outright false reporting.
“
So, Hannity did take his gun out, his worried staff did report it BUT Williams and Hannity both downplayed it!
