CNN writer Dylan Byers went full on Fake News in a report yesterday with the blaring headline, “Sean Hannity once pulled a gun on Juan Williams.”
Byers wrote, “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.”
The CNN reporter claims the report is backed by three sources.

The report stems from Hannity simply showing Williams his personal firearm. Hannity who is licensed to carry in New York, has been safely handling firearms since he was a boy and Juan Williams described the incident like this:
Oddly, despite both targets of CNN’s story calling it “sensationalized” or even “fake” Byers arrogantly stands by his story:
It’s clear that despite the damage to his credibility as a reporter, Dylan Byers just can’t help himself from going “Full Fake News.”
