News anchor gets hilariously trolled by man defending Edward Scissorhands instead of Edward Snowden

John Hendren is on Twitter as @fart. He was also a guest on HLN News yesterday as a friend/defender of Edward Snowden. -snip-

HLN runs a clip of John Oliver interviewing Snowden and pointing out that Snowden is, at least somewhat, complicit in not only leaking debatably sensitive state secrets but real national security secrets that could result in real harm coming to people. Hendren admits that yes Edward could have harmed some people...

Hendren: But to make him invalid, in society, simply because he has scissors for hands, I mean, that's strange because people didn't get scared until he began sculpting shrubs into dinosaur shapes and what not.

Yasmin Vossoughian then reads a tweet from the internets about Russia and then says something about it possibly being hypocritical of Snowden to be in Russia, considering the human rights violations purportedly happening in Russia.

Hendren: Yeah, casting him out is just completely wrong. We are treating him like an animal. Someone who should be quarantined and put away. Just because he was created on top of a mountain by Vincent Price, incomplete with scissors for hands and no heart—Edward Scissorhands is a complete hero to me.
