Sean Hannity ditches New York for the ‘free state of Florida’

Longtime Fox News host and conservative media personality Sean Hannity announced on Tuesday that he left Democratic-controlled New York for the “free state of Florida.”

Hannity made the move public during a broadcast of his radio show, according to a report.

“If anybody is listening to this program for any length of time, been threatening now to do this for quite a while, but we are now beginning our first broadcast of my new home, and that is in the free state of Florida,” he said.

“I am out. I am done. I’m finished. New York, New York, goodbye. Florida, Florida, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere … but it’s great to be here.”

Hannity’s decision to leave the Democratic-controlled state makes him the latest in a long line of citizens who have partaken in a “blue-state exodus.”

Popular reasons for this move include a lower cost of living and a general desire for security.

During his announcement, the Fox News host praised Florida’s leaders.

“Finally, for the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I’m living in that share my values,” Hannity said. “I have a governor by the name of Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Rick Scott, so I’m feeling a lot better about it.”

“I’m not going to go through the whys, the how comes, because it’s obvious this migration out of the blue states — with high taxes, burdensome regulation, high crime, horrible school districts — is real. … And if anything, I’m probably late and behind the curve, and many others have made the move beforehand.”
