Conservative author and columnist Ann Coulter touched off a nerve in Fox News host Sean Hannity, and threw what was the opening salvo in a skirmish between the two.
It all began when she reminded him of his support for the “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration bill that Sen. Marco Rubio, the Republican senator from Florida who’s now in a presidential run, had co-drafted.
Coulter tweeted:
Hannity on Rubio’s amnesty, Jan 2013: “It’s probably the most thoughtful bill that I have heard heretofore.” https://t.co/kJV483Hcvl

But Hannity reminded Coulter that she omitted the rest of the story and tweeted:
Hey Ann, tell the whole story, I was going by an explanation of the bill, and then when I read it I came out vs it https://t.co/jeplg1G4pc
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
You give half the story. Also Ann, who supported your book and agreed with all points. That would be me. https://t.co/jeplg1G4pc
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
And just to emphasize that were all fallible, he gave her this reminder of her own foibles and mis-judgments.
Did I not have u on radio and TV agreeing with your Immigration book? Should I start quoting your Christie love? https://t.co/jeplg1G4pc
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
Were u not Mitt Romneys big supporter Ann? https://t.co/jeplg1G4pc
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
And he continued with the Coulter-directed barrage, bringing to mind the Shakespeare line, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” Only in this case, Hannity is playing the role of “the lady.”
He continued:
Also Ann , I have been reporting on border more than anyone else in the media. Yes even before your book https://t.co/jeplg1G4pc

Rio Grande to SD. Horses, ATV, Boats, Choppers. Filmed gang members arrested, drug warehouses, tunnels, u went when? https://t.co/jeplg1G4pc
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
Ann u trust the NYTimes? I never went to one dinner one meeting with ANYBODY mentioned in that piece about that bill https://t.co/btdc54ePVb
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
As u have been a 20 year friend I will accept your apology without u even asking. Next time u may want to ask me https://t.co/btdc54ePVb
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
Apology? She apologized? He never gave her the chance to get a word in edgewise.
Ann, how many times over the years when u were under fire DID I SUPPORT U? Now it’s “what have u done4 me lately?” https://t.co/btdc54ePVb
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 28, 2016
And Coulter totally ignored the Fox News host’s barrage — she was too busy tweeting about the lack of border security.
As for Hannity, really, he probably made his point in the first couple of tweets.
