“Thanking U.S. President Barack Obama for deciding to send “humanitarian aid” to the Yezidi people is apparently something you should avoid as a guest on Sean Hannity‘s radio show.

Yezidi Human Rights Organization chairman Mirza Ismael called into the show Monday afternoon and spent several minutes explaining the horrors faced by minorities as ISIS forces push further into Iraq and reportedly kill many Christians and Kurdish groups. Towards the end of his call, however, Ismael thanked the president for deciding to send U.S. military aid to his hometown, prompting some swift pushback from Hannity.
