When I used to watch Tucker on a regular basis, he had this woman on repeatedly. And she would take the most outlandish stances on things.
Miami Herald
Miami woman known as Fox News ‘Liberal Sherpa’ charged with ripping off her aging mother
David Ovalle Fri, December 9, 2022 at 9:15 AM
Cathy Areu, a journalist and former periodic Fox News guest known as the “Liberal Sherpa,” has been arrested in Miami on accusations that she kidnapped and financially exploited her elderly mother.
Areu, 51, was booked into a Miami jail early Friday on a host of felonies, including kidnapping, elderly exploitation and organized scheme to defraud.
Miami-Dade police detectives had been trying to arrest her since June, when a judge signed a warrant for her arrest. According to a Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office press release, she is believed to have been evading arrest and even took off to Mexico for a time.
Areu, who also goes by Cathy Areu Jones, remained jailed on Friday morning and it is unclear whether she had retained a defense attorney.
Investigators say they believe Areu may have made off with over $224,000 of her 88-year-old mother’s finances, including proceeds of a reverse mortgage from the mother’s house. Investigators also believe Areu made bank withdrawals from her mother’s banks accounts and opened credit cards in her name.
The probe began in 2019 when state welfare investigators received a report that Areu was exploiting her mother. The elderly woman’s home had been turned over to Areu via a quit claim deed, a document the victim denied ever signing, according to the press release. Areu later claimed that other people were exploiting her mother, and that the woman had brain damage or dementia, the report said.
According to her online profiles, Areu in the early 2000s was the publisher of Catalina magazine, which was “dedicated to breaking the stereotypes of Latinos in the U.S.” On her Fox News bio, which remains active on the network website, she also claims to have been an contributing editor for the Washington Post Magazine between 2000 and 2012.
Dubbing herself the “Liberal Sherpa,” Areu is a podcaster and was a frequent liberal voice on Fox News, the influential right-wing cable network.
But in July 2020, Areu and a network producer filed a lawsuit against some of the the network’s highest profile personalities: Tucker Carlson, Ed Henry, Sean Hannity and Howard Kurtz. Areu, who was a periodic unpaid guest on the network, alleged sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. A judge later dismissed the complaint, saying that as an unpaid guest, she did not have legal standing for the claims.
According to the press release, she is also accused of using a revoked power of attorney to twice involuntarily place her mother in an assisted living facility “in an attempt to gain control over her mother’s financial assets.”
Prosecutors say that on the first occasion, Areu admitted her mother to a facility after making the woman believe she was going on an “ice cream outing” with her granddaughters, who are Areu’s children. When the mother tried calling someone for help, Areu told the facility to stop her from using a phone or get visitors, prosecutors said.
On a second time, Areu and a cohort are accused of dragging the elderly woman from her home and transporting her to another facility. Alarmed neighbors called police after seeing the woman’s shoe in the driveway and the front door open, police said.
Both times, the elderly woman was ultimately released from the facilities after the Florida Department of Children and Families found she did not need to be in the homes.
Cathy Areu is an American journalist, author, and former educator who worked as a news analyst at Fox News - Wiki

One watches with a raised eyebrow the "resident liberal/conservative" on the various news shows.
Elder abuse is common, dude.
I had so many clients convicted of it
It's the parent's stuff so the kid feels like they are entitled to it.
My husband took stuff to sell out of his mother's garage.

I have witnessed or been privy to the details of several familial abuses in the last few years. All it's done is deepen my belief that even family can be the worst of humanity.
I do not think the future is looking any brighter for the rest of us as we age. Buckle up.
WHY am I not surprised to hear that?  |

WHY am I not surprised to hear that? Even family? Isnt it they're usually top suspects? "I didn't ask to be born" "It's my inheritance" The petty fighting over the will. When grandma died, she didn't leave a will, just a paper she wrote who was to get what. Before the funeral, people gathered at grandma's. After my aunt realized her watch was missing. She had taken it off & forgot & apparently someone took it thinking it was grandmother's. |

I have been given the guilt trip about family on several occasions. Blood is thicker than water and all that nonsense.

It's amazing how family feels they are owed. The whole warnings about loaning money to family, etc. |

You baffle me sometimes. We go back and forth from agreeing on what I think is clear cut and reasonable........ to disagreeing over how much tax payers OWE everyone else.
And my most consistent reply to you is "I never agreed to adopt any of these people." 
A friend of mine just involved the police in a matter with his son ......and a gun purchase. Guess how messy that's getting. |

"Mankind was my business" I thought that was mom's Christmas movie, but it was dad's according to my sister. Must be why it means so much to my Daddy's girl heart. You pay taxes. The government has an interest in caring for its citizens. So was it involving someone who wasn't supposed to have a gun? |

That's what He said. Not me.
No, the Govt has an interest in expanding power and control. It should be restrained at all times.
No, just a dopey kid pissing several people off and borrowing money he never intends to pay back. If Dad wanted to, he could press charges and possible get his gun rights taken away. But he likely won't, so the kid will continue on.

THAT is the major point of conflict in politics.
How big Govt should be. How much it should provide.
We all know what the career politicians believe.........and for some reason many of you go along with that nonsense.
Dependence.........such a thing to aspire to. ![[rolleye1]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/MTjbungPBOzv0BKQvdPJ.gif) |

I'm being serious here for once.........you really figure God is rooting for one country over others?
I'm OK with other people choosing any religion they want, provided they leave me out of it altogether.
And I don't care where any of the good ideas or advice come from, provided that they actually work in real life. So whether it's religion, education of just plain old common sense, stick with what works.

“Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.” - Friedrich Nietzsche "We leave you a tradition with a future. The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete. People even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody." "Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."Sam Levinson |

Nietzsche was wrong.........it's pretty much ALL the time.
Never throw anybody out? What does Planned Parenthood think of that kinda sentiment?
Most people aren't ambidextrous.

That goes back to the Bible God's chosen people. Pat Robertson saying this or that disaster was God's punishment for gay marriage, etc. |
