Sean Hannity Endorses Fans Smashing Keurigs to 'Offend Liberals' After Company Pulls Advertising

by Caleb Ecarma | 10:52 pm, November 12th, 2017

After a convenient coffee appliance company dropped their Sean Hannity advertising, fans of the hardline Trump-supporting host reacted by smashing their Keurigs.

The Fox News viewers protested on Twitter by using the #BoycotKeurig hashtag and posting videos of themselves destroying Keurigs by throwing them off buildings or crushing them. The advertising drop — which was triggered after Hannity defended Roy Moore over his alleged relations with minors — was just one of several other companies who have opted to avoid the Fox News 9 p.m. weekday slot.

Hannity himself even endorsed the videos, calling them “hilarious” and “so so funny!”






Below are videos of numerous defiant Hannity fans attempting to get back at Keurig and “offend liberals” by ripping apart, throwing, and crushing their coffee appliances:

The left doesn't like Keurig because they contribute to the waste stream with their gazillions of tiny plastic cups. Keurig is more suited to righties who don't care if the planet is destroyed by rubbish. I'd be clapping for the fool who paid lots of money for his coffee maker and then threw it off a building.

Fill with the coffee grind of your choice, brew, quick clean, re-use. The cost is pennies per cup, so coffee drinkers can save big bucks over time while keeping those used cups out of landfills. Surprised this is so slow to catch on.

I've tried the single and carafe sized reusable pods and neither works very great. I get WAY more grounds in my cup with them and the brew is exceptionally weak (especially the carafe size) and no manner of fiddling with the settings or measurements seems to help.

Luckily on one of the other Keurig threads I saw a link to a company that sells K-cups that are biodegradeable and that should help. so I'm looking into that.

But as for Hannity - LOL dumbass, it doesn't offend me a bit when stupid shits break their stuff. I laugh out loud at them.

44. I had the same problem
Mon Nov 13, 2017, 01:00 PM
Nov 2017

Too much coffee in the standard size cups clogs then up and there is an overflow of grounds. I found out that filling it about 1/2 full and hitting the "middle size" button gives a good strong cup of coofee and no grounds. Then a quick rinse to get residue out of the strainer at the bottom of the cup, and it's ready for the next use.

These dimwits can barely articulate what they believe, but they're convinced that it'll piss off the libs if they destroy their coffee makers. Sure, bqhatevwr, dudes, as Scott Brown would say.

Coffee, though, has been a political football for a long, long time.

Dumbass. What a great message to send to all the potential advertisers out there that if they change their mind and go a different direction you will have your lemming listeners lash out.

Any advertisers that even consider going with him in the future are even bigger fools than before after he has shown how he will turn on them.

In fact, I'm laughing my ass off at you. You idiots already gave your money to Keurig when you bought the machine in the first place. You are out not only the hundred and some odd dollars you paid for that thing, but now you have to go out and buy yourself a new coffee maker. You stupid boobs.

You know what is really offensive to us? The fact that you're endorsing a pedophile for the United States Senate. For the Senate.

You do realize that you just messed with Wal-Mart, Maxwell House, McDonalds and others who are exactly the sort of advertisers that amke a lot more money selling Coffee than you could ever make them!

after John Lennon's comment on the state of Christianity among young Britons. I wondered then, if there would be a significant number of kids - pushed by their parents to destroy their albums - who then bought the albums again later.

Here, I wonder if they will buy new Keurigs or if they revert to other coffee makers will they also boycott Green Mountain Coffee (which is related to Keurig)?
