Edward Snowden supporter and Twitter comedian Jon Hendren went on HLNto talk about Snowden's decision to join Twitter and ended up talking about Edward Scissorhands. <\/p>\n
In the beginning of the interview Hendren spoke about Snowden being a hero, but soon switched to a conversation about Edward Scissorhands. <\/p>\n
\"To cast him out, to make him invalid in society, simply because he has scissors for hands,\" said Hendren with a straight face, \"I mean thats strange.\" <\/p>\n
HLNanchorYasmin Vossoughiandidn't object toHendren or appear to notice what he was doing. Hendren continued, \"People didnt get scared until he started sculpting shrubs into dinosaur shapes and whatnot.\" <\/p>\n
Vossoughianwent on to ask Hendren about Snowden seeking asylum in Russia. Hendren said that casting him out is wrong. \"Were treating him like an animal, like somebody who should be quarantined and put away. Just because he was created on top of a mountain by Vincent Price, incomplete with scissors for hands and no heart, uh, Edward Scissorhands is a complete hero to me.\" <\/p>\n
Still not responding, Vossoughianpressed Hendren to talk about Snowden's decision to go to Russia, a place known for abusing human rights. <\/p>\n
\"I mean, where else is he going to go? You know?\" said Hendren. \"We cast him out. We got scared when he poked a hole in a waterbed with his scissor finger, and that was just unreasonable of us.\" <\/p>\n
