Sean Hannity Calls Media Matters a ‘Clear and Present Danger’ to Free Speech

Fox News host Sean Hannity warned viewers Monday of the “clear and present danger” from anti-free speech groups such as Media Matters for America, in the wake of a controversy in which the left-wing activist group successfully got Keurig to stop advertising on Hannity’s show.

“Conservative voices in this country for years we have been facing a clear and present danger. This is an unprecedented act that is happening in this country and it has to do with people, right now if you support this president, if you’re a conservative…you’re a target,” he warned.

Keurig announced Saturday it had stopped advertising on Hannity after pressure from Media Matters — who claimed the Fox host had been sympathetic when interviewing Judge Roy Moore over allegations of sexual misconduct. Moore has denied the most serious of the allegations against him.

However, after a counter-protest that featured conservatives destroying their Keurig coffee machines, the company’s CEO emerged Monday to walk back the boycott and apologize for its actions.
