Why Did Ari Emanuel Send Roger Ailes a Shovel?

Ari Emanuel sent Roger Ailes a shovel to respond to an insult from Roger Ailes. Roger Ailes had acted as if Roger Ailes came from nothing while Ari Emanuel had not.

Roger Ailes gave a long speech about digging ditches in Ohio during a meeting with Ari Emanuel. Roger Ailes mentioned being a Democrat along with his brother as if Roger Ailes had worked with his hands and come up from nothing. Ari Emanuel took the speech as an insult and sent the shovel. Ari Emanuel has done a lot of similar giftings when facing snide comments about shoveling shit.

The gesture demonstrated how Ari Emanuel would not back down to anybody. Roger Ailes did not like the talent getting connected with agents at all.
