Hannity is the "worst excuse of a journalist" according to Rep. Keith Ellison. On Feb. 27, the Washington Post reported that Ellison ripped Sean Hannity and his craft and his comments are causing a stir amongst Hannity supporters.
Hannity and Ellison came face to face on Tuesday night and that's when the battle of words ensued. Hannity commented on the Democratic Party's failure to stay on message and that's when Ellison let it rip. "You’re pretty good at it too. Quite frankly, you are the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen. It’s absurd that you — the worst," Ellison said on cable news --and his comments didn't stop there.
The Hannity "worst excuse" comment was just the beginning of Ellison's tirade. "What you just displayed was not journalism; it was yellow journalism. It wasn’t anything close to trying to tell the American people what’s really going on. Every journalistic ethic I have ever heard of was just violated by you," Ellison said.
Tension was undoubtedly in the air and things did not get any easier. Ellison did not back down at all, talking over Hannity and keeping an upper hand throughout the duration of the debate. As you can imagine, Ellison is being praised by Dems and "Hanni-haters" today.
Is Hannity the "worst excuse of a journalist" as Ellison said?
