On Thursday, Sean Hannity mocked The View host Sunny Hostin for calling Rep. Jim Jordan a “terrorist” and saying he screamed at and terrorized her.

“The poor little snowflakes got offended that somebody actually, you know, raised their voice slightly,” Hannity said. He put up his hands in mock horror, adding, “Oh, the shame of it.” I can assure you that if Rep. Hakeem Jeffries or AOC had terrorized a Republican, Hannity would have had quite a different take.

Next, Hannity gratuitously brought up his father hitting him with a belt – and suggesting that everyone should go through such a character-building experience: “By the way, my father would hit me with a belt. I didn’t actually raise my voice,” he said. “We used to be the land of the free, home of the brave. When did we become the land of the snowflake?”

This is far from the first time I have heard Hannity talk about his father beating him. Mediaite noted that he once said, “My father punched me in the face when I talked back to him once, and I deserved it.”

That tells you a lot about Hannity.
