Sources: Sean Hannity once pulled a gun on Juan Williams

[Mr. Sparkle]

Source: CNN.com

Hannity, Trump's biggest backer on television, has said this is entertainment for him: "I am a counterpuncher," he told one Twitter user who asked why he was so antagonistic. "I do not start fights but I finish them. This is pure entertainment for me. If people take cheap shots I hit back."

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.)

For the record: Hannity's colleagues brought the Williams incident to the attention of Fox News executives, though it's not clear whether anything came of it. The sources said it went to Bill Shine, the network's co-president and longtime Fox News executive, who is Hannity's longtime friend and a former producer. A Fox News spokesperson said the incident was referred to the legal and human resources departments.

1. Sean "puffy" Hannity is a reallll tough guy isn't he??

I thought maybe he tossed some 2 inch paint brushes at him or an airless from his house painting days.

[caroldansen]

2. He was always weird.

[FreepFryer]

3. "once" as in last year? wtf (n/t)

[dubyadiprecession]

4. Sean is just being Sean.

A total piece of shit.

[brush]

26. Wonder why Williams hasn't sued the shit out of him? And the network if they didn't do...

anything.

There just might have been a settlement that was kept hush-hush.

[Skittles]

[NewRedDawn]

8. I would have broke

that motherfuckers pencil neck & shoved his gun up his fat fascist ass

[mdbl]

9. Uh Sean,,,,, a sphincter says what?

[Mickju]

10. Scum

The fact that he wasn't fired tells you all you need to know about the morality of Fox News.

[hrmjustin]

11. In a real news outfit he would have been fired.

[VMA131Marine]

13. That would get anybody else fired from any job.

[mackdaddy]

12. He should at a minimum loose his CCW carry permit!

And any "normal" human would be charged with a long list of felonies and misdemeanors.
Brandishing a weapon
Assault with a deadly weapon
Criminal Menacing

14. The Pillsbury Dough Boy, talkin tough.

[7962]

15. For those who dont read the article, Williams says the whole thing is sensationalized

while hannity is certainly a total jackass, this is kind of ridiculous. "Showing" a gun and "pulling" a gun imply totally different things.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Somebody needs to unleash Joe

Biden on his ass.

[winstars]

17. Why does he even have a gun permit??? In NYC???

[wellst0nev0ter]

19. You just answered your own question

Can't be too careful with all the negroes and spanicks around.

Edit: Of course, I'm dripping with

[winstars]

20. Its difficult to get a gun permit in NYC. But not if you are Sean Hannity I guess...

[wellst0nev0ter]

18. Wait, hold on a minute!

Juan Williams is a liberal? On what planet?

[hibbing]

23. My first thought too n/t

[GulfCoast66]

21. If true, Juan should have said...

You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash your piece out on the set, I'll take it away from you and stick it up your ass and pull the fuckin trigger till goes 'click'.

Actually, he should have pulled out his cell phone, taken a photo and immediately called 911. Had that fat blowhard taken away in cuffs. And then sued the shit out of FOX for creating a hazardous work place.

[democratisphere]

22. Hannity is scum and should have been arrested.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. How does Hannity and my former boss get away with it?!

The President of my former employer pointed a loaded gun at the heads of the managers at a meeting, and nothing happened to him either!

He was also a right-wing, anti-Obama, pro-conspiracy kook like Hannity.

I wasn't in the meeting or I would've called 9-1-1 with my cell phone then and there. The managers who told me about it later were all scared that THEY would lose their jobs if they called the cops or complained.

[Dorn]

25. I was taught that "Every gun is ALWAY loaded"

When I took hunter's safety training in the 60s I was taught that "every gun is ALWAYS loaded" so never point a gun at a human being. Maybe they don't teach that anymore.
