| Mercedes Colwin loses her job after an appearance on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival. |
Its president, Angelo Carusone is adamant that he can finally hold the most annoying conservative agitator in the history of media, accountable for his years of divisive rhetoric.
Sean "Softball" Hannity is facing an ad backlash. The most annoying conservative agitator in the history of media has lost nearly 20 advertisers due to support of Roy Moore, the embattled Alabama senatorial candidate.
His comments on radio and television triggered a huge backlash and many Americans are finally realizing that Softball Hannity's advertisers are promoting pedophilia.
It seems now that one of his notable agitators lost her job at a law firm in New York.
Mercedes Colwin was fired out the cannon at Gordon Rees Scully after her appearance on his right-wing carnival. She hopped on social media to apologize for the appearance.
First and foremost, I am profoundly sympathetic of anyone who has been the victim of sexual harassment and believe they deserve full and complete protection under the law. (1)— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 11, 2017
As someone who has a deceased sister who was a victim of domestic violence, I know predators exist and deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. (2)— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 11, 2017
My comments made during Hannity were addressing circumstances which I have observed both as an administrative law judge and an attorney over a number of decades. (3)— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 11, 2017
In my experience, there were cases where incidents of alleged sexual harassment can— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 11, 2017
be misrepresented or even fabricated as a means of leveraging an advantage in
court or otherwise. (4)
My intent was not to trivialize or minimize the impact of sexual harassment on any victims of such practices or to condone such behaviors in any setting, whether business or personal. (5)— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 11, 2017
Having considered the comments,especially my "very few and far between" remark which has regretfully caused tumult and pain, it was made in the context of civil cases of sexual harassment that I've handled as an attorney and as a judge.(6)— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 12, 2017
I did not mean to imply nor do I believe, that the victims of sexual assault within society at large are "very few and far between". (7)— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 12, 2017
I sincerely apologize that I did not express this distinction at the end of my appearance and am deeply sorry for appearing to diminish this very important issue. (8)— Mercedes Colwin (@MercedesColwin) November 12, 2017
She was on with Sebastian Gorka discussing the five accusers of Roy Moore.
She made this comment about the accusers.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): And this goes back what you said. Do people do it for money, do they do it political reasons? How come -- Is it more common than people would think?
MERCEDES COLWIN: Oh definitely. I mean they’ll do this for --
HANNITY: They will lie to make money.
COLWIN: Undoubtedly. I mean there are individuals that have come forward with these outrageous allegations and –
HANNITY: And that hurts all women that are victims.
COLWIN: Yes. I used to work in sex crimes in the [district attorney's] office. It was very pitiful to see that because some jurors don’t believe it because they’ve gone -- in their own lives, there are people who’ve made these accusations for money. You see this time and time and time again. And sexual harassment, that term is coined everywhere. Frankly there are -- the laws are very clear as to what it takes in order to be a violation of the law. You have to have some sort of damage. And these individuals, a lot of these women, it's all about money. And they bank on the fact that these corporations have a reputation that they want to save.
HANNITY: And this is where you thread the needle because there are women that are victims of predators.
COLWIN: Yes, there are, there are. But very few and far between. [Fox News, Hannity, 11/9/17]
Now she finds herself in the unemployment line thanks to her buddy.

| Losing advertisers. Might want to puff an e-cig. |
The woman was fired out the cannon soon after. When word got out, the softball did damage control. He gave her hush money and promised to help her get a better job.
We haven't heard from her since.
Sean Softball Hannity is bad for business. He needs to be held accountable for the years of peddling bullshit on radio and television.
Keep the pressure on him.
