Sean Hannity, in my opinion, is one of the most objectionable human beings to ever take to the American airwaves. His smug superiority and endless moralizing on behalf of various right-wing causes is enough to make you reach for a barf bag.
Yesterday on his radio show, Hannity attempted to smear Terence Crutcher, who was shot and killed by a police officer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While he was interviewing KRMG-TV news anchor Russell Mills, Hannity said:
“I understand that in this particular case Mr Crutcher has a long criminal history and appeared to be under the influence or so the police are charging.”
Mills told Hannity:
“I looked up his history and I’m not seeing a lot of criminal history. We have something called the OSCN – the Oklahoma Supreme Court Network. I was able to find a protective order from 12 years ago that was dismissed. I found a couple of financial things. There’s no violent criminal history for Mr. Crutcher that I’ve been able to uncover.”
Undeterred, Hannity then asserted:
“I read that there was numerous warrants out for his arrest including one assault on an officer and drug trafficking. Are those reports incorrect?”
Mills dropped the truth bomb on Hannity by replying:
“As far as I know they are. I have not seen any reporting on any warrants for Mr Crutcher and I certainly haven’t uncovered any myself. There has been some misinformation floated. I’ll tell you, we had a homicide detective say yesterday that they found some drugs in the car. That may or may not be the case.”
Then Hannity tried to say he had a “source” that had told him differently:
“Our source said as much there too — that they were found in his possession. Again, we have a source within the department that has given us some information, so I guess it’s a matter of time of when they’re gonna release this information.”
Hey, Sean, no credible person would talk to you or give you information because you’re a hack and not a journalist. There’s only one thing you excel at: Lying.
Here’s the audio from Hannity’s radio show:
