Hannity Says His Father Used to Hit Him With a Belt: ‘When Did We Become the Land of the Snowflake?’

Fox News host Sean Hannity said on Thursday that his father used to hit him with a belt during a segment mocking The View co-host Sunny Hostin for being a “snowflake.”

After playing a clip of Hostin calling House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) a “terrorist” and recalling the time he allegedly screamed at and “terrorized” her, Hannity encouraged his audience to shout, “Aw!”

“Aw! The poor little snowflakes got offended that somebody actually, you know, raised their voice slightly,” he mocked. “By the way, when my father would hit me with a belt, I didn’t actually raise my voice. How did this country— you know, we used to be the land of the free, home of the brave. What happened? When did we become the land of the snowflake?”

In 2014, Hannity whipped a desk with his belt on live television in a demonstration of support for corporal punishment.

“I got hit with a strap, bam, bam, bam — and I’ve never been to a shrink — by my father. I would tell you that I deserved it,” he said after football player Adrian Peterson was indicted for beating his four-year-old son with a stick. “My father punched me in the face when I talked back to him once, and I deserved it.”

Hannity then pulled off his belt and started whipping the desk in front of his guests as he said, “I got it like this! And I deserved it. I was a troubled kid.”
