Sean Hannity Reveals His Father Beat Him
Sean Hannity Reveals His Father Beat Him
"When my father would hit me with a belt, I didn't actually raise my voice," the Fox News host said as he mocked "The View" panelist Sunny Hostin.
He is probably lying, but it is tempting to associate what a terrible person he currently is with how his parents treated him as a child.
I think he’s trying to say “if it worked for me and my dad, it’ll work for you and your kid”, failing to not that it did not, in fact, work for him, as evidinced by present circumstances.
"By the way, when my father would hit me with a belt, I didn't actually raise my voice," Hannity went on. "How did this country... You know, we used to be the land of the free, home of the brave. What happened? When did we become the land of the snowflake?"
Of course he is pro child-abuse.
When did we become the land of the snowflake?
Says the snowflake...
This really does encapsulate the conservative mindset: I suffered, so everyone must suffer.
Not nearly enough.
Clearly not enough.
"I got hit with a strap. Bam, bam, bam—and I've never been to a shrink—by my father," Hannity told his guests, while conceding that Peterson "went too far" with his own son. "I would tell you that I deserved it."
"I had welts when my father hit me in the legs with his belt," Hannity told his guests as they detailed the allegations leveled against Peterson.
"My father punched me in the face when I talked back to him once, and I deserved it," Hannity later said in the discussion while defending his dad's alleged actions.
What a weird thing to brag about: being abused by your father but never seeking any help. I guess in conservative world if you admit something troubled you or you might need help, or if you question the authority of violent men, that's perceived as weakness. What a miserable way to live.
and I deserved it
what an absolute bitch
Apparently not hard enough
That’s how conservatism reproduces itself.
Kids In The Hall had him nailed all the way back in the 90s.
It's really difficult to reproduce right-wing ideology without violently abusing it into your children - fascism starts at home.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fox News host Sean Hannity has stated that his father used to hit him with a belt as he lashed out at The View panelist Sunny Hostin and mockingly called her a "snowflake."
During an appearance on her ABC daytime show this week, Hostin called House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) a "terrorist" as she alleged that he once screamed at and "terrorized" her during an encounter.
"Aww, the poor little snowflakes got offended that somebody actually, you know, raised their voice slightly," Hannity said on Thursday after showing a clip of Hostin's comments.
"By the way, when my father would hit me with a belt, I didn't actually raise my voice," Hannity went on.
"How did this country... You know, we used to be the land of the free, home of the brave.
Hannity's comments were met with laughs from the audience that was present at the studio.
