Sean Hannity’s interview with Sean Penn got real awkward real fast
Actor and humanitarian Sean Penn stopped by The Sean Hannity Show on Tuesday to talk about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Penn was in Ukraine filming a documentary for Vice when the invasion began, and has since traveled back to the country.Hannity began the interview by bringing up his initial contact with Penn. “I made the first phone call to you,” Hannity said. “Do you remember what you first said to me?”“I said ‘I don’t trust you,'” Penn replied.Laughing, Hannity asked, “Is there a reason you don’t trust me?”“Yeah,” Penn said, “there’s a lot of reasons I don’t trust you.
But we have to get on with life. We all talk about how divisive things are, how divided things are here. When you step into a country of incredible unity, you realize what we’ve all been missing.
I don’t think I’ve got time to indulge my lack of trust, which becomes a petty thing. These people are fighting for the dreams and aspirations of all of us Americans.”“I don’t think that I’ve got time to indulge my lack of trust, which becomes a petty thing as people, and babies, are being vaporized,” Penn added. “And that these people are fighting for the very dreams that are the aspirations of all of us Americans.
We talked about that, too, and we agreed on that.”But Hannity wasn’t quite through. Later in the interview, Penn spoke about his first conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last fall.“It’s interesting,” Penn said.
