On Monday, AdWeek reported that Andrew Napolitano, Fox News' chief legal analyst, has been fired in the wake of sexual harassment allegations.


"This comes after a lawsuit filed Monday by Fox Business production assistant John Fawcett, who alleges that he was sexually harassed in an elevator by the Judge in 2019," reported A. J. Katz. "In his lawsuit, Fawcett alleges senior execs were aware of the misconduct, but declined to take further action. Fawcett also alleges that Napolitano also harassed other male employees, but HR also declined to investigate those incidents."

The lawsuit also alleged that Fox Business host Larry Kudlow repeatedly made racist and sexist comments.

umm.. I did not know he was gay. No problem with that. But always amazes me that men think they can get away with sexual harassment.

1. Is There Anyone There Wholesome, Ma'am?

I doubt there is one of their on-air personalities credible charges of this sort could not be brought against.

[Tomconroy]

2. I know nothing about Napalitano, but I've always had a high opinion

Of Larry Kudlow. Didn't often agree but he's very bright and on his old show was very tolerant of those he disagreed with. Following a twelve step program, I thought he understood human frailty. I could be wrong, but I hope those sort of allegations aren't true.

[JI7]

4. Are you serious about Kudlow ?

or is that meant to be sarcastic ?

There is nothing surprising about the allegations against Kudlow.

[Tomconroy]

5. I've known about Larry Kudlow since

He was a source for William Greider's book: Secrets of the Temple.
Yeah. I'm absolutely serious.
I tried to be proactive and googled: Larry Kudlow racism. All it returned was an enormous number of cites to a statement he made about America not being a systemically racist country. If there is more I'm happy to be educated.

[LanternWaste]

10. Odd that. I googled the same search parameters you provided and received

a number of returns illustrating numerous arguable statements dating back to 2015.

[Tomconroy]

11. I'd be interested in reading them f you put up links.

[LymphocyteLover]

18. the main problems with Kudlow are 1) he's a Trump sycophant and 2) a terrible economist

[Tomconroy]

20. I followed him when he did the show with Jim Cramer and

Then his own show on CNBC. Sort of lost track of him when he signed up with Trump, which was a disappointment. I didn't agree with him, but I always felt he was an intelligent advocate for the conservative point of view.
I really am interested in any evidence he was a racist.

[turbinetree]

25. This wouldn't be the same Kudlow that was on a racist team 'by golly it was a team

that created 1.6% GDP and in the Bloomberg article they give the racist team trump a pass....and they just conveniently did not say a word that his team, lets be frank...killed over 600,000 and counting...yeah same maniacs leading the ship down the proverbial drain....I don't like Kudlow, or the other "guy" in the article they were enablers of a shit show and helped fuel the insurrection in some ways...and then to top it all off they go after people without any concept that the person is human being.......still bottom feeders of BS..... that stiffed the little guy and gals out of 1.5 trillion tax cut to just fuck over the lower scum ....because we deserve it and let them eat cake....

[LymphocyteLover]

27. well, if he supported Trump, he certainly tacitly supported racism

so there's that.

[NewHendoLib]

24. What? High opinion of serial liar and trump cult member KUDLOW?

you got to be kidding!

[paulkienitz]

3. all of these guys constantly abuse privileges and act entitled to be above the rules

because the whole purpose of the Fox propaganda machine is to defend a privileged status for Real Americans above minorities, gays, foreigners, atheists, and so on. The whole pitch of Trumpism is that if you're a Real American you can get privilege while others get punishment. Privilege is at the core of what the whole Christian-conservative movement is all about, so of course its spokesmen all turn out to be privilege-abusing assholes.

[Grokenstein]

6. Perfect.

"Only the little people pay taxes" wasn't just one rancid shitweasel's attention-begging statement of arrogance. We've also seen it in Steve Mnuchin and Louise Linton's infamous photo, (Linton apologized later for bellowing about how much more in taxes she paid than all us whiners), and we see it in pretty much every single statement by Dim Don and his eldest shit-rotten children.

7. FWIW, a man does not have to be gay to sexually harass another man.

disclaimer: i haven't read all details yet.

as a man i have found coworkers comments towards women offensive. some harassers think because it's a male they are talking to that their locker room comments are welcome.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

13. Exactly what I was going to say ... also, making derogatory sexually-related comments towards

another male that you know (or think) is gay ... is sexual harassment.

I doubt Napolitano is gay, frankly. But might he have harassed other guys he thought were gay? I could see that.

OTOH, he also called out Trump's lies VERY OFTEN and was hated by most Trumpists towards the end of his term.

Which makes me suspicious about these allegations.

[BradAllison]

8. Interesting, he had been one of the most critical of Trump's legal shit. n/m

[kimbutgar]

9. He was on the TFG enemies list so I'm not surprised he was let go

[SledDriver]

12. Allegations of sexual harassment by a(nother) Fox News personality?

[monkeyman1]

14. roflmao !!

[oldsoftie]

15. Trump set him up. Napolitano has been critical of him since early on

And trump HATED it because he HAD been a big supporter

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Another one? Must be a pressure cooker over there

Imagine what we don't know about!

[machoneman]

22. Gay harassment, straight harassment, tax evasions, outright rape....geez, what else? Murder?

[COL Mustard]

17. I'm Doing My Best Gomer Pyle Voice Now

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

Why Sergeant Carter, I just don't know what to say!!!!

19. Here is the lawsuit ...

21. His long term partner dies maybe 5-7 years ago

He even dedicated one of his books to him. NBD.

I'm surprised he wasn't fired before this, though, because there have already been at least two suits accusing him of sexual harassment of other guys--IIRC neither one happened at work; one was about him asking sexual favors of someone he was offering to help with a court case because Nap is friends with the judge.

[Polybius]

26. I had no idea that he was gay

I never thought about it though.

23. I almost started to laugh but then I caught myself.

Sexual harassment is no laughing matter.
