Republican Senator Floors Hannity – Tells Him He’s Full Of Sh*t To His Face

According to Glenn Beck’s blog post, he was interviewing Sasse this week at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) discussing their mutual displeasure of Trump. After the interview, Sasse walked off, and Hannity stopped by Beck’s booth to talk to him. As reported on the Blaze:

“’Sean and I are friends,’ Beck recounted on his television program. ‘He said, “Hey can I talk to you?” I said, “Sure.” So we went back … and we were having a conversation about Donald Trump and what is going on, very friendly, when Senator Ben Sasse walked up.’”

That’s when it got real.

“’He came over and he said, ‘Sean Hannity, what you are doing is bull!’ Beck said. ‘And I have never seen Ben like that.'”

...................



According to Beck, Hannity was taken aback, at first, and he didn’t even recognize the senator.

“‘He was angry. … And Sean said, ‘Excuse me?’ And he said, ‘What you’re doing is bull!’ And he said, ‘Who are you?’ Which didn’t make things better,” Beck continued. ‘And he said, ‘I am Senator Ben Sasse.'”

Hannity must have wanted to crawl into a hole at that moment.


“‘Sean just didn’t recognize him and that happens,’ Beck added. ‘And he (Hannity] said, ‘You can cuss me out all you want.’ And he (Sasse] said, ‘I’m not cussing you out, I’m cussing out your actions.’

‘He (Sasse] said, ‘You have gone on the air and said because I took what I believe to be a moral position and said I cannot vote for Donald Trump, I will not vote for Donald Trump, you are telling my constituents that I am voting for Hillary Clinton. And I am not voting for Hillary Clinton. And Sean said, ‘I didn’t say that. It’s half a vote for Hillary Clinton.’”

Sean Hannity's attack on him and Hannity didn't even recognize him? LOL. Just hope that particular audience doesn't take it to mean Hannity's too important to recognize "minor" senators. Anti-government"ism" is their well-inculcated ideology, after all.
