Person In Fox Studio Cheers As Sean Hannity Talks About Chokehold Killing Of Man On Subway

A woman could be hearing yelling 'woo!' on the set of Hannity's Fox News program as he talked about the killing of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who was experiencing a mental health crisis before being choked to death by a Marine veteran on the NYC subway.

The recent incident involving a man who allegedly put a Black homeless man in a fatal chokehold on a New York subway has sparked outrage and controversy across the nation. The incident, which took place last Monday, resulted in the death of 30-year-old Jordan Neely, who was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.

According to witnesses, Neely was shouting at other passengers on the subway when the altercation began. The passenger who placed him in the chokehold for several minutes has not been charged, leading to concerns about the use of excessive force and the need for better training and support for those dealing with mental health crises.


Despite the tragic outcome of the incident, Fox News’ Sean Hannity took a controversial stance on the matter during his Thursday night show.

Hannity aired cellphone footage of Neely in the chokehold and referred to him as a “mentally ill homeless guy with a long history of violent crime.” While acknowledging Neely lost consciousness during the incident and expressing sympathy for him and his family, Hannity seemed to justify the actions of the Marine veteran who had placed him in the chokehold.

The most shocking moment of the segment, however, came when a member of Hannity’s live studio audience cheered after hearing about the incident. It is unclear whether the individual was aware at the time Neely had died.

You can hear the moment the woman cheered in the video below.

Many were understandably disturbed by the incident and called her out while criticizing Fox News' coverage.








Video footage captured by a fellow passenger shows a male with his arm around Neely's neck in a chokehold for approximately 15 minutes.

Two other subway riders also appear to assist in restraining Neely, who was Black. When police arrived on the scene, Neely was nonresponsive and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

The New York City chief medical examiner's office ruled Neely's death a homicide due to "compression of neck (chokehold)." Neely's family has hired a law firm to represent them, stating Neely suffered from mental illness since the brutal murder of his mother when he was 14 years old.

Politicians and lawmakers are now calling for accountability in the case.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
