After Sean Hannity made some questionable statements about statutory rape—even he agreed he should clarify what he said about politician Roy Moore’s “relationship” with a 14-year-old girl—Newsweek reported several advertisers were pulling spots from his Fox News show. These include such fine, upstanding brands as Eloquii, Nature’s Bounty, and Keurig.
It was a perfectly reasonable response to concerns from their customers about Hannity’s continued support of Moore, the Republican nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama who even the TV personality acknowledges had a non-consensual encounter with a minor (the age of consent is 16 in Alabama). Which is why it outraged Hannity’s supporters, who have decided that the best way to push back against the liberal agenda is to trash a home appliance. Under the auspices of the #BoycottKeurig and #IStandWithHannity hashtags, these soon-to-be under-caffeinated throngs are dropping their single-cup coffeemakers from the sides of buildings, smashing them with sledgehammers, and firing arrows into them.
