Emails Undermine Attacks on Hannity and Carlson; This List Of Attacks Against Conservatives Is Mind Blowing

. . . Well aside from the fact that the now-revealed Areu emails of the day are said to have blown “holes” (Mediaite) in these accusations (or, per the Post, revealed “inconsistencies”). Ironically, the lawsuit brings into focus yet again just how serious and widespread is the problem of the Cancel Culture across the nation and its determination to silence conservatives wherever they may be found, especially at Fox News. So in this latest case? Stand with Sean. Stand with Tucker. And stand for free speech.

Big Snowball

In the lawsuit, Areu claims, she was a “relatively regular” guest on Hannity’s prime-time show until March 8, 2018. “On that day, Mr. Hannity, on set and in front of the entire studio crew — and completely unsolicited — threw $100 on the set desk,” the suit claimed. “He then began calling out to the men in the room and demanding that someone take Ms. Areu out on a date for drinks at Del Friscos. He repeatedly yelled, ‘who wants to take her on a date?’ ‘Take her on a date to Del Friscos.’”

. . . "According to the story, Areu was “mortified” by this supposed sexist behavior.

Well, now.

"As it happens I myself have experienced a version of this supposedly mortifying Hannity behavior. I have been an occasional guest on Hannity’s TV show over the years. On one particular occasion last year, I was invited to the Fox NY studios to appear on a show that featured a panel of about a dozen people, men and women both. All were people who had appeared previously on his shows or those of other Fox hosts, and I knew many of them.

At the conclusion of the show Hannity did a version of what he is accused of doing by Areu. There was zero sexist about it. Sean Hannity is a perpetually upbeat human being, and always looking to make his guests comfortable. Not to mention he is always urging his guests to get to know one another by spending some socializing time out of the studio. In my case he was urging all of us to go to exactly the same restaurant mentioned to Areu, with a similar insistence on his picking up the tab. A group of us, men and women both, took him up on his offer. He did not join us. No one — say again no one — took offense. We went, had a great time and took a picture of ourselves toasting him with drinks in hand, sending it to him with our thanks.

As I have learned first-hand over the years in socializing with him at various parties, this is typical Sean Hannity behavior. Which is to say, he has always been both a gentleman and generous. I have never — say again never — seen him display the slightest hint of the behavior ascribed to him by Areu. There was none. Zip, zero, nada — none. Not for nothing has Fox News issued a statement that said the accusations against Sean, Tucker (and also Fox media critic Howard Kurtz) were “false, patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit.” . . .
