### Hannity Segment: Montage Exposes Democratic Hypocrisy on Free SpeechOn the September 24, 2025, episode of *Hannity* (Fox News, 9 PM ET), host Sean Hannity welcomed frequent contributor Joe Concha for a fiery discussion on free speech amid ongoing fallout from ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel over his inflammatory comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The segment featured a pointed montage—dubbed a "supercut" by Hannity—compiling video clips of prominent Democratic politicians and figures explicitly calling for censorship of conservative voices, highlighting what Concha called a "complete memory lapse" and "selective amnesia" on the left. This came just hours after Google's announcement to reinstate YouTube accounts banned under Biden-era pressure for political speech, which Hannity framed as validation of long-standing conservative complaints.#### Segment BreakdownHannity opened by contrasting the left's outcry over Kimmel's "market-driven" suspension with their past demands to silence opponents, noting, "The shoe is on the other foot now, and uh-oh... the glass slipper fits just right." Concha, echoing his recent columns, slammed Democrats for "gaslighting" Americans by portraying themselves as victims while ignoring their role in suppressing dissent during the Biden administration. He argued the Kimmel case isn't censorship but accountability, unlike the "thousands" of conservatives targeted via Big Tech partnerships.The montage, lasting about 90 seconds, rolled clips from over the past few years, focusing on "Squad" members and other Dem leaders. Hannity narrated: "This is the antithesis of free speech," tying it to broader concerns like the Biden admin's COVID-era censorship push, which Concha said Democrats "ignored" while decrying Kimmel's fate.| Clip Source | Politician/Figure | Key Quote/Call for Censorship | Context ||-------------|-------------------|-------------------------------|---------|| House Floor Speech (2024) | Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) | "We need to rein in the press... ignorant and uneducated" voices like Kirk's must be checked. | Smearing Kirk post-assassination; pushing media regulation. || MSNBC Appearance (2023) | Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) | "Platforms must do more to suppress misinformation from the right—it's a threat to democracy." | Advocating Big Tech crackdowns on conservative content. || CNN Interview (2022) | Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) | "We can't let hate speech from MAGA go unchecked; deplatform them now." | Post-Jan. 6 calls for Twitter/Facebook bans. || Progressive Rally (2021) | Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) | "Censor the fascists before they censor us—starting with Trump lies." | Urging advertiser boycotts and account suspensions. || White House Briefing (2021) | Biden Admin Official (via montage) | "We're flagging content for review—coordinated with tech to combat extremism." | Revealed in recent congressional hearings on censorship scope. |Concha reacted: "These are the same people cheering Biden's censorship machine, now crying foul over Kimmel? It's rock bottom with a basement." He warned that such hypocrisy fuels political violence, linking it to Kirk's death and predicting "it gets worse before better" without accountability. Hannity closed by promoting Google's reinstatement as a "win for the First Amendment," but urged viewers to "stay vigilant—the left's playbook hasn't changed."#### Broader Reaction on XThe segment sparked immediate buzz on X, with users amplifying the montage's hypocrisy. @seanhannity teased it pre-air: "SUPERCUT INCOMING!"

Critics on the left, per PunchUpPod streams, dismissed it as "hate rally fodder" amid Kirk memorial coverage.Full clip available on FoxNews.com (search "Hannity Concha free speech montage") or the Fox News app. Concha followed up on X: "Free speech for me, not for thee—classic Dems."
