Sean Hannity Tells African American Caller That Police Won't Bother You If You Aren't "Part Of A Gang"Hannity: "If You're Not Part Of A Gang," Robbing, Stealing, Or Using Drugs, "Guess What's Going To Happen? Nothing"
CALLER: You will never understand what it means to be black in America. You will never understand how we are policed and how you are policed. You'll never understand that, so we will never come to an agreement on that. All I'm asking you as a decent--
HANNITY: --But I can tell you one thing, and I can tell you a fact -- that if you don't do things that are wrong, if you're not part of a gang, you're not robbing, you're not stealing, you're not selling drugs, you're not using drugs, you're not violent, you're not involved in any trouble, guess what's going to happen? Nothing. Stay out of trouble.
CALLER: That's absolutely not true.
HANNITY: And I don't care what neighborhood you live in. If you stay out of trouble, obey the laws, pay your taxes, you are going to be fine.
CALLER: Absolutely, absurdly untrue.
HANNITY: Sorry!

(38,437 posts)5. Granted. Hannity's stupidity is reflected in his lack of grasp of facts.
He is, however, perfectly adept at punching all the buttons of his adoring fans who are of similar intellectual caliber.
