Sean Hannity Left Visibly Stunned by Dem Congresswoman’s Answer to His Question About Evidence in Michael Brown Shooting

The exchange quickly became more than a little heated.

Fox News host Sean Hannity was left perplexed on Thursday night when Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) proclaimed she has no interest in reviewing evidence released concerning the officer-involved killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

“Did you read the evidence that was released in this case? Hannity asked.

“I did not, and that is not a concern,” Holmes replied.

“The evidence isn’t a concern? What?!” the visibly stunned host shot back.

Norton went on to claim that the Brown shooting and the officer-involved killing of Eric Garner in New York City has revealed a “much larger concern.”

“These are words that you are saying. You have a position of power,” Hannity pressed, asking Norton why she won’t read the evidence in the Brown case.

“I’m sorry, if you want to talk about something that other people said, you can. This is my view,” Norton replied. “We are losing the big picture.”

The congresswoman said the recent police killings should be used as an opportunity to “discuss how police and African-Americans” can improve relations.

Hannity later read some of the evidence that was released after a Ferguson grand jury decided not to indict officer Darren Wilson in Brown's death. He criticized Democratic lawmakers for pushing the "hands up, don't shoot" narrative, even though some witnesses -- including black witnesses -- discredited the claim.

Norton then started to lose her cool.

"There was conflicting testimony!" she yelled. "Some people are going off of the testimony you said, some people are going over the other testimony. That's not my concern."

"No? The truth isn't not your concern? Evidence isn't your concern?" Hannity pressed. "Evidence isn't a concern if you are going to take a position on a case?"

"If you want to talk to people who have other concerns, have them on your show!" Norton shouted, later clarifying that she is not a lawyer.

Things remained tense even as Hannity ended the interview as he told the congresswoman, "I hope you'll take the time to read evidence in the case before you talk about a case. I think it will be helpful."
