Fans of Sean Hannity are destroying their Keurig coffee machines in protest of the company pulling its ads from the conservative host's Fox News show over his coverage of sexual misconduct allegations levied against Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Keurig and four other companies—Realtor.com, 23 and Me, Eloquii, and Nature's Bounty—all pulled their ads from Hannity's show after he urged viewers not to rush to judgement against Moore. In response, some Hannity fans are smashing their Keurig machines and calling for a boycott of Keurig products, USA Today reported Monday.
Some viewers posted videos of themselves on social media destroying their machines in creative ways, while others tweeted about it, vowing never to use the coffeemakers again with the hashtags #BoycottKeurig and #IStandWithHannity.
The protest gained traction when verified Twitter user Angelo John Gage posted a video of himself smashing his Keurig with a hammer. The tweet reached his 28,000-plus followers, and he urged others to join him in the "Keurig Smash Challenge."

They are junk anyway. After three months mine made lukewarm coffee.
Overpriced, overprocessed, coffee of questionable origin and age. Give me a pot of coffee brewed from freshly ground beans every time.
I own one, and when this one dies, I will not buy another. I like the convenience of the pods, but other brands now offer this like Hamelton beach or Mister Coffee at Walmart.
Horrible product anyway.
Dumb asses, I love my Kuerig!!! They can give me theirs.
Right On 8:32 !!! Right On !!!
Hannity came on and said to stop doing that. The CEO apologized and I believe was going to sponsor them again.
Lol. Hive mind.
