In one of the most jaw-dropping, no-holds-barred exchanges seen on cable news in recent memory, Sean Hannity absolutely dismantled radical Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar during a live interview.
The confrontation centered on illegal immigration, violent crime, and Thanedar’s voting record, and it quickly became clear that Hannity came armed with facts, while Thanedar came armed with excuses.
Right off the bat, Hannity confronted Thanedar over his refusal to stand during the President’s joint session speech honoring the families of Laken Riley, a 24-year-old nursing student murdered by an illegal immigrant, and Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl brutally raped and murdered.
Thanedar attempted to deflect by claiming he was “sick of the president,” but Hannity made clear the moment had nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with basic human decency.
Hannity then pressed further, asking whether Thanedar had ever once picked up the phone to call an American family whose loved one had been raped or murdered by an illegal immigrant.
Thanedar dodged.
He deflected.
He rambled about constituents and ICE.
But he could not name a single family.
Perhaps the most damning moment came when Hannity confronted Thanedar with his actual voting record.
Thanedar voted against legislation mandating the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes.
When asked whether he regretted that vote, Thanedar replied:
“No, I don’t regret that vote.”
Hannity pressed him with a question every American understands:
“If it was your wife, your daughter, your sister—raped by an illegal immigrant—would you want that person to stay in the country?”
Thanedar refused to answer.
Instead, he claimed he didn’t remember the bill and insisted that “no bill is perfect”—a jaw-dropping justification for allowing convicted sex offenders to remain in the United States.
The interview grew even more explosive when Hannity confronted Thanedar over his rhetoric attacking ICE agents—specifically an incident where an officer was injured after a suspect accelerated a vehicle directly at him.
Thanedar dismissed injury reports, accused DHS of lying, and, despite claiming to believe in due process, publicly labeled the ICE agent a “murderer.”
Hannity was visibly outraged.
“You call ICE agents murderers, and then wonder why the threat level against them is up 8,000%.”
Hannity listed the criminals ICE arrests daily, murderers, rapists, cartel members, drug traffickers, and terrorists, and laid the blame squarely at the feet of politicians like Thanedar who demonize law enforcement for political gain.
The exchange culminated in Hannity delivering a scathing indictment:
“You never lifted a phone to call one victim’s family. You attack the brave men and women who put their lives on the line. I find it nauseating—and you should be ashamed of yourself.”
Even then, Thanedar doubled down, accusing ICE of “murdering American citizens,” despite video evidence showing officers defending themselves from deadly threats.
Hannity closed the interview decisively:
“I see a very different tape than you. I saw a man defending his life.”
