Sean Hannity says Fox colleague Megyn Kelly backs Clinton

In this combination of photos, Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity spoke during a March 18 campaign rally for Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in Phoenix and Moderator Megyn Kelly waited for the start of the Jan. 28 Republican presidential primary debate in Des Moines, Iowa. Hannity accused Fox News colleague Megyn Kelly of backing Hillary Clinton on Wednesday.
NEW YORK » Sean Hannity has hurled what many of his Fox News Channel viewers would consider an insult at colleague Megyn Kelly: He accused her of being a Hillary Clinton supporter.
Hannity reacted by Twitter on Wednesday night after Kelly had a segment on her show about the presidential candidates tightly controlling press access. She noted that Republican Donald Trump “will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to unsafe spaces these days.”
Hannity responded on Twitter, writing “u should be mad at HillaryClinton. Clearly you support her. And realDonaldTrump did talk to u.” When another Twitter user told Hannity he should stand by his colleagues, the host said, “Sure. When they stand by me.”
Trump has been a frequent Fox guest in recent months, particularly on Hannity and the morning “Fox & Friends” show. Hannity, a conservative talk-show host, has said he supports Trump and has given him campaign advice. He appeared in a Trump campaign video without his network’s knowledge, but was told not to do that again.
Trump’s rocky road with Kelly, dating to the first GOP primary debate in summer 2015, is well documented. He did appear as an interview subject on a Fox broadcast network special done by Kelly in the spring.
Kelly had no response to Hannity on social media. Fox representatives had no immediate response to requests for comment today.

Not news…Sean spoke the truth.
“Not news” also describes the station that Hannity works for…
Mr. Hannity and Mr. Trump are very similar. Both 13 year old spoiled boys that never grew up.
Must be a slow news day.
Megyn Kelly has a fully functioning brain, which can’t be said for the rest of FOX news people.
lol!
Gosh! Why in the world should this be considered news worthy? Curiosity sure got me into “no fly zone”! Thousand wet noodles on me!
Right she is nobody but a Democrat hack. LIKE SOME ANTHORNEYS WE KNOW HERE
Sean Hannity needs to stop whining.
Megan Kelly was rudely insulted by the Chump so why shouldn’t she support Clinton. She is not the spineless person like Ted Cruz.
Megyn Kelly is being attacked by Hannity for rightly pointing out that Trump will only appear on “friendly” news shows and she is right. Which begs the question: If Trump is scared to go on unfriendly news shows, how in the heck is he supposed to face real unfriendlies on the world stage?
Exactly. You put the hammer squarely on the nail. Trump is a bully and when the lack is not with him he will not show up. Ironically, he is the first Republican candidate that Fox News has not been entirely on board with due to his personal attacks.
When is Clinton going to appear on the O’Reily show?
Megyn Kelly is like a spoiled brat. She’s positioning herself – her contract expires in 2017 with FOX.
She is very forthright and scares people.
There’s a reason why Hillary refuses to be interviewed by her along with many others. (Trump)
Megyn is the “media sensationalism” princess.
“media sensationalism”?
aren’t they all?
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
who cares.
didn’t know there was a republican loyalty clause to be a news reporter on fox.
It’s implied, not actually written.
