Missouri’s Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder (R) blurted out “that is terrible TV,” apparently unaware that his mic was live, while appearing on the Fox News program “Hannity” on Thursday night.

After airing interviews that a Fox correspondent conducted live on the ground in Ferguson, Mo., host Sean Hannity turned to the lieutenant governor for his thoughts on renewed protests in the city.

While Hannity was introducing him, Kinder sighed and spoke over the host.

“God, that is terrible TV,” he said, looking off camera.

Hannity seemed caught off guard. “Well,” he said, and continued his introduction. Throughout, Kinder didn’t look at the camera.

When it was finally time for him to speak, he remained silent.

“Peter, can you hear me?” Hannity asked.

“Oh, I can hear you, I thought you were coming to me after the break, Sean,” the lieutenant governor said.

  1. It sounds like he’s criticizing the opinions of those being interviewed and hardly sympathetic to the issues facing the African-American community.

    Missouri “has had it up to here”?!!

    I’ve had it with people like the Lt. Governor.

  2. Seems like an accurate description of Hannity’s show.

  3. I didn’t watch the segment, but if it was Hannity, it probably was terrible TV.

    Actually, Kinder doesn’t want to hear what people who don’t look like him actually have to say.

  4. Finally, someone tells the truth about Fox New.

  5. Even the Reich-Wing dipshits are beginning to have second-thoughts about appearing with the “Intellectual Midget” and his minions.
    Well Hannity my boy, you can always book some more Nazi’s and White Supremacy/Gun Nuts. They LOVE the exposure.
