Money CNN’s Dylan Byers has a bizarre story about Sean Hannity pulling a gun on Juan Williams last October after an argument on-air.
Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams, according to three sources with knowledge of the incident. He even turned on the laser sight, causing a red dot to bob around on Williams’ body. (Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams and others on set.)
Fox News issued a statement that the situation was “thoroughly investigated” and “found that no one was put in any danger”.
Hannity also responded. “While discussing the issue of firearms, I showed my good friend Juan Williams my unloaded firearm in a professional and safe manner for educational purposes only.”
Hannity has a concealed carry permit.
Juan denies the sensationalized story. “This incident is being sensationalized — everything was under total control throughout and I never felt like I was put in harm’s way,” Juan said. “It was clear that Sean put my safety and security above all else and we continue to be great friends.”
Everyone present denied the Byers story.
Byers then goes on to talk about Hannity’s fondness for martial arts, suggesting it’s a concern. Hannity said he never did “Karate”.

Oh and by the way. I never did "Karate"
In my life. Another lie https://t.co/eztXMHCHQE— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 17, 2017
The conclusion of Byers story: “Hannity’s life is one big game of pin the tail on the donkey.” That’s a reference to his use of the label “jackass” on Twitter.
Despite it being denied by the alleged victim himself, Dylan Byers stands by the story.
I stand by my reporting, Juan. Every word. 110%. https://t.co/vvYMdWCs4E https://t.co/Um7dZfIqnq

Without evidence or clear explanation, Byers suggests that Hannity was lashing out at Williams.
Breitbart calls it very fake news.
@CNN is as hysterical and insane as Rachael Maddow. https://t.co/ZqXsRXWHDw

Never pointed at anybody. Let’s be clear. Unloaded. Never pointed. I have been a gun safety advocate for years. https://t.co/11ArBIyjLs
