In an interview that quickly went haywire, Fox News host Sean Hannity and Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones (D) verbally sparred on Tuesday night over Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting immigrants.
“The America I believe in does not look like this,” Jones said, holding up an image of masked ICE agents. “The America I believe in does not look like masked men targeting people. Shameful!”

Hannity called Jones “lazy” and claimed his “reckless rhetoric” about ICE agents ― including comparing them to the KKK ― was jeopardizing the agents’ lives.
“You are a disgrace! You are a disgrace!” Hannity said.
“Shame on you, my brother,” Jones replied.
“My brother, you’re a disgrace,” Hannity fired back.
“You have that thousand-dollar suit on, you get paid millions of dollars to lie to people,” Jones said as Hannity’s music began to play in an apparent attempt to cut to a commercial.
But Jones wasn’t done yet.
“The threat to the American people is in the White House,” he said, adding that 70 percent of immigrants “kidnapped” by ICE “goons” haven’t been convicted of any crimes.

“Shame on you!” Jones said again. “God have mercy on you and anybody who believes it’s right, and your children will be ashamed of where you stand in this time, Sean.”
Jones also got in a few pointed shots at what he called the “pedophiles and perverts” who hang out at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort:

“You got your little talking point out? You feel good about yourself?” Hannity fired back. “This is not MSDNC.”
Jones again held up the photo of masked ICE agents, comparing them to the KKK and accusing them of “terrorizing American cities.”

As the segment ended, Jones said he would pray for Hannity ― which really seemed to trigger the Fox News host.
“We’re done,” Hannity said.
