Sean Hannity Allegedly Spends Free Time Setting Staffers Up on Blind Dates

In addition to being a conservative radio host, author, and TV host, Sean Hannity apparently fancies himself a matchmaker.

This fun little factoid comes courtesy of former Fox News contributor Sally Kohn. During an October TED talk, Kohn discussed her time as a staunch liberal working at Fox and lamented the hostile state of political discourse.

As TheBlaze’s Eddie Scarry points out, Hannity was her example of a political opponent with whom she disagrees but still finds to be “emotionally correct.”

“Conservatives are really nice. Not all of them and not the ones who send me hate mail. but you would be surprised,” she told the crowd. “Sean Hannity is one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever met.”

She then revealed his matchmaker skills: “He spends his free time trying to fix up his staff on blind dates. And I know that if I ever had a problem, he would do anything he could to help.”
