If you thought Donald Trump was ripping the Republican Party apart as he does his slash and burn routine, it turns out the Orange Menace is also causing a nasty fight at Fox News between hosts Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly.
On Wednesday, Kelly had this to say on her show:
“Donald Trump, with all due respect to my friend at 10 o’clock, will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to the unsafe spaces these days, which doesn’t exactly expand the tent for either one of them. There. That’s my two cents.”
The always thin-skinned Hannity took great offense, and went on Twitter to accuse Kelly of being a Hillary Clinton supporter:
@megynkelly u should be mad at @HillaryClinton Clearly you support her. And @realDonaldTrump did talk to u. https://t.co/vsQiNMgHut

When others on Twitter suggested Hannity should stand by his colleague, once again Hannity acted like a spoiled child, posting this:
Sure. When they stand by me. https://t.co/UrFbBVfEMI

Friday is the 20th anniversary of Fox News.
What an incredible moment.
This should be a celebratory week.
Instead… Kelly-Hannity face-off.— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) October 6, 2016
The Hannity vs Megyn Kelly twitter spat is a skirmish in the coming war to define what Fox News will be in the post-Ailes era

We are about a month away from an armed, backwards-cap wearing Sean Hannity occupying some wildlife refuge with a lesser Bundy.

The best part about Hannity’s hissy fit is this: It’s only just beginning. When Clinton destroys Trump with an electoral landslide, Sean will be weeping and gnashing his teeth on-air for months. Maybe he’ll get so frustrated he decides to retire. That would certainly be a day of celebration.
