Hannity floats conspiracies: "The establishment -- they hate Roy Moore," "there's politics in all of this," "there are false allegations made"

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): John McCain has now just called for Roy Moore to withdraw, whether or not the allegations are true.

Okay, so now you've got the swamp, you've got the sewer, you've got the establishment -- they hate Roy Moore. Roy Moore, to them, is another Ted Cruz, another Mike Lee, somebody they can't control, Rand Paul, they can't control those guys. The last thing they need is another one of them, that actually believes in the promises they make, et cetera.

You know, it is funny too, because Democrats never called on Bill Clinton to step down after he was -- you know, after all the stuff that happened with him. Never, not one time. So, there's politics in all of this. Then you have false allegations that are made, and you know -- how do you determine? It's "He said, she" -- what? You're looking at me puzzled. Why are you looking at me with that look? What?

LYNDA MCLAUGHLIN: No, I'm just -- I'm listening to you and I think it's a very very dark and sad place that we've come to, because allegations are being waged and in the court of public opinion, you know, people are guilty until they're proven innocent, and it's very, very sad. And I think it's very sad for victims because there are real victims out there that want to tell the truth, and maybe they're afraid to do it, and then there are people who use the word "victim" as leverage, and a way to get things. And I think it's a really a scary time.

HANNITY: There are false allegations made. You know, I can tell you another thing that is a common practice, people make a allegation at, for example, big corporations. Big corporations, they make a business decision, "Alright, if I pay $200,000, this goes away, okay, you're out of here, we're done with you, it's all over," even though they don't believe it happened.

7. How much did Fox spend on harassment suits Sean?

Was it 200,000 to somebody to go away, or hundreds of millions to dozens of women? I’m pretty sure if Fox didn’t believe an accuser, they’d fight it to the end. Instead they paid through the nose.

OReilly also paid 32 million personally to one accuser.
No way that was so “she’d go away”. That is as good as an admission of guilt. We all know it.

8. No. It's she said. She said. She said. She said He said. NT
