Hannity: I'm Giving Away 500 Keurigs To Fans Who Want 'Apolitical Joe'

By ESME CRIBB Published NOVEMBER 14, 2017 3:05 PM

Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday announced he will give away hundreds of Keurig coffeemakers to fans of his show, who have been smashing the machines en masse in protest of the company’s decision to pull advertising from the conservative commentator’s show.

“To all of my supportive and devoted fans of the show, I am giving away 500 Keurig machines as a thank you for always standing by me,” Hannity tweeted. “We accept the apology of the Keurig CEO, and look forward to enjoying a nice cup of apolitical Joe.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, the contest was closed, according to Hannity’s site.




Diehard fans of Hannity’s show posted videos of themselves smashing their Keurig machines over the weekend after Keurig announced it was pulling ads from Hannity’s show over his coverage of sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.

He apologized for putting his employees in a bad position

Also, he didn't apologize for suspending advertising, just for the manner in which it was announced.

I didn't see anything about if/when they would resume advertising.

be feeling the heat of advertising not covering his inflated salary.

Of course he forgot to mention the advertising is still pulled for the same reasons.

Keurig pulls ads from Hannity's radio show because he put Roy Moore on and tried to make the douchenozzle look like a decent human being.

Butthurt fans destroy THEIR OWN KEURIG MACHINES in protest, clearly not understanding the meaning of the word "protest"

Hannity buys 500 NEW Keurig machines as a "thank you" to his loyal fans.

Therefore, Keurig gets to sell two machines to each dumbass

Moral?

Buy Kuerig stock.

Well...you can't, but if you could!
