Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota ripped into Fox News host Sean Hannity during a tense interview on Tuesday night.
Hannity began his segment by claiming President Barack Obama was to blame for looming across-the-budget cuts known as the sequester. The conservative Fox News host insisted the President was fearmongering about the consequences of the cuts and played an irreverent mash-up of Obamas recent speeches.
Youre the worst excuse for a journalist Ive ever seen, Ellison said after being introduced.
Hannity asked for Ellison to repeat himself, claiming he couldnt hear him. Instead, Ellison continued to blast Hannity, saying his mash-up was deceptive yellow journalism and a breach of every journalistic ethic I know of. Ellison told Hannity he was a shill for the Republican Party, but Hannity repeatedly insisted he was a registered conservative.
