Sean Hannity invoked his martial arts training in talking about the verbal roundhouse kicks he’s gotten from #NeverTrump conservatives over his “you own Clinton!” declaration to them.

The moment on the radio today was flagged by Business Insider’s Oliver Darcy, who has written some must-read deep-dives of the conservative media fracture under Donald Trump.

A caller to Hannity’s radio show today implored him to not blame people like Glenn Beck for a Hillary Clinton victory. Hannity responded by saying this:

“They’re all taken shots at me first and I’m just––I’m a counterpuncher, I punch back. You know, now working towards my black belt, I’m very close… I finally got my brown belt, I’m moving up in degrees. And I treat my business the same way. If you hit me, if you come at me, I’m gonna really hit you and defend myself.”

(He made it clear he didn’t mean “hit you” literally.)
