Cathy Areu, often a Fox News liberal guest with the moniker "liberal sherpa" has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping her mother and stealing $224,000 from her.
According to the Daily Wire, Areu put her mother in a nursing home against her will on two occasions, allegedly dragging her from her home on one occasion, Florida authorities said.
“Every incident of alleged elder exploitation or abuse touches our heart and never fails to shock us,” said a statement from Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. “It seems particularly harder to understand when the alleged perpetrator of the exploitation is a daughter, or a son or another blood relative.”

Nah, I disagree. Having worked in a nursing home many years ago, I've seen a number of incidents in which a family member or relative wanted to admit an elderly blood relative into the home so they could collect the person's life savings. Strangers or non-relatives don't stand a chance of succeeding.
In one instance, Areu’s mother allegedly denied signing paperwork that turned over her home to her daughter. And it has also been alleged that on two occasions, Areu used a revoked power of attorney to stick her mother into a nursing home without her consent, the Daily Mail noted.
The former commentator is facing a number of felony charges including kidnapping, exploitation of the elderly, and organized scheme to defraud, according to 7 News Miami. Areu has been denied bond and is currently being held at Miami-Dade county jail where she is preaching the joys of having voted for a President with far less cognitive acumen than her mother.
Areu has been under investigation since 2019, according to prosecutors. The podcast host was reportedly evading authorities this summer, which included Areu spending time in Mexico where she has allegedly been carrying on with a cartel that smuggles future Democrats across the border. [Okay, that didn't happen.]
Areu had a lawsuit against Fox News and some of their personalities. She claimed, in a now-dismissed suit that Tucker Carlson propositioned her and when she rebuffed his cool moves, he refused to have her on his show.
That never happened and the lawsuit was dismissed last year.
She also went after Sean Hannity but that also turned out to be a false claim.
It sounds like Areu has a serious mental problem and is desperate for money.
That's really sad, but I feel sorry mostly for her mom.
