Hannity confronts Tennessee lawmaker with attention span of a gnat in ugly shout-down

Radical Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones and Fox News host Sean Hannity duked it out during a tense interview on Tuesday.

For whatever reason, Jones, a radical leftist, decided to appear on Fox News’ “Hannity” that evening.

Why he ultimately appeared on the show might never be known, given that he spent the whole time on the program being uncooperative and loud.

Indeed, the interview started with eponymous host Sean Hannity trying to show Jones a list of horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens in Tennessee, only for the Democrat to “filibuster” with a lotta bull.

“Can you name any of the victims of violent crime by illegals in your state, and have you ever called any of them?” Hannity initially asked.

Jones ignored the question and started ranting like a maniac as he and Hannity talked over one another.

“To your viewers: this man wants you to be afraid, he wants you to be fearful of your immigrant neighbors because he wants to protect the billionaires who keep you from having healthcare, letting farms close,” the insane Democrat said.

“He does not care about crime; he hangs out with pedophiles and criminals in Mar-a-Lago. He does not care about going after rapists. He cares about keeping you fearful to control you because he wants to distract you from the real enemy, which are the corporate CEOs who are screwing you over,” Jones added.

Hannity responded by congratulating him on getting out his “little MSDNC talking point.”

The chaotic interview continued with Hannity asking Jones whether he could “name a single victim of crime in your state by illegal immigrants.”

But once again, Jones filibustered.

“All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful, so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare,” He said. “You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.”

“You wanna go through a list? Go through the list of the pedophiles and perverts you hang out with at Mar-a-Lago. Go through that list. You get paid $45 million a year to lie to the American people. You should be ashamed of yourself, and I’m gonna pray for you that you lay down this burden and these lies, Sean. Shame on you, my brother. God have mercy on you,” he added.

Absolutely fed up with Jones bull, Hannity fired back, “You are a disgrace, my brother, you’re a disgrace.”

“I’ll take the prayers, thank you very much, but the one that needs the prayer is you,” Hannity continued. “The victims in your state need your prayers, not me. Pray for them.”

And once again, Jones started running his mouth.

“You have that thousand-dollar suit on, and you get paid millions of dollars to lie to people,” he yelled. “The threat to the American people is in the White House, it’s not these immigrants […] Your children will be ashamed of where you stand in this time, Sean. Ashamed that you are on the wrong side of history.”

At one point during the back-and-forth exchange, Hannity slammed Jones for comparing federal immigration agents to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

“You’re comparing the KKK — what do you know about the KKK?” he asked. “Do you know a lot about the Gestapo? Do you know what the KKK did?”

Jones alleged that his grandfather was “run” out of the state by the Klan.

“Gestapo, they’ve led people to their death — and you’re comparing law enforcement that are arresting those criminals,” Hannity responded with incredulity.

“Masked men are shooting mothers in the face!” Jones yelled back.

Jones’s latter remark was a reference to Renee Good, a leftist extremist and agitator who was killed by immigration agents after she tried to run one of them over.
