Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday engaged in a fiery exchange with a Palestinian-American guest on his show who repeatedly declined to label Hamas a terrorist group.
Hannity pressed Yousef Munayyer, executive director of the Jerusalem Fund and Palestine Center, to answer, “Is Hamas a terrorist organization?”
“Do I get to actually speak now?” Munayyer answered. Hannity responded: “You get to answer the question, it’s a simple yes or no question.”
“Sir, you invited me on here as a guest,” Munayyer said.
Yelling over Munayyer, Hannity interjected: “I’m asking a question. Is Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel, is that a terrorist organization? That’s a yes or no question.”
“Thank you for your question, now I will provide an answer,” Munayyer began, as Hannity continued to push the question.
Munayyer then began explaining that America “certainly” considers Hamas a terror organization.
Hannity quickly cut him off, shouting, “I didn’t ask what the United States thinks I asked what you think! Can you hear!”
Munayyer started: “Let me ask you a question, sir.”
Hannity cut him off again, saying, “No, you don’t answer a question with a question! What part of this can’t you get through your thick head? Is Hamas a terrorist organization? Yes or no?”
