The war of words between Fox News’ Sean Hannity and MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough was reignited as the two took to Twitter to continue firing at each other.
Hannity called out “poor liberal Joe” and his Morning Joe co-host, and fiancee, Mika Brzezinski in a tweet Wednesday. The pair have been hostile critics of President Trump since the inauguration despite Scarborough’s past friendship with him.

Teasing a “hilarious video montage” on his show later that night, Hannity criticized the MSNBC hosts for their “daily emotional meltdown.”
That montage he referred to featured various clips of Scarborough insulting the president and attacking Fox News and its anchors.

“Liberal Joe, you really shouldn’t be throwing stones from your incredibly fragile glass house,” Hannity said in the monologue of Wednesday’s “Hannity.” He accused the MSNBC showof routinely featuring “some of the most vile, unfair, disgusting and even emotionally unhinged” coverage of Trump.
Scarborough did not miss the jab on Twitter and fired back almost immediately with a series of tweets accusing the Fox News host of being “obsessed” with him and likening him to an agent of the Kremlin.
Comrade, your continued obsession with those who refuse to be apparatchiks for Russia suggests resentment and envy. You are obsessed. https://t.co/cGXlb4PYiM

Comrade, you have screeched for a decade about how irrelevant I am. And yet my little Russian friend, you obsess over me endlessly. So sad. https://t.co/TVHQLQnFQX

Hannity responded to the barrage by mocking the low ratings for the MSNBC show and bringing up that Scarborough allegedly “begged Fox” for a job for years.
Low rated lib Joe tried to make a funny! Envy Joe? Does Andy and Phil know u begged Fox to hire u for years? That u were “embarrassed” at MS https://t.co/LB8ypVsvEO

He also called out the former GOP congressman as a “black helicopter, tin foil hate” conspiracy theorist.
Lib Joe I get your “embarrassment”. Black Helicopter, Tim Foil Hat conspiracy theories! U sucked up to Obama and now call DT a “schmuck” WOW https://t.co/LB8ypVsvEO

Scarborough let the last shot go unanswered – so far. But with his over 1.3 million Twitter followers and Hannity’s more than 2.4 million, the online feud certainly generated a lot of commentary.
Joe Scarborough has become a crazy suck up to highest bidder. DJT didn’t try to buy him Joe is trying to destroy him. Mika is a neurotic

Joe’s too busy following Hannity around like a “swimfan” to actually follow & report real news.

Does Joe know that even Tucker Carlson’s reruns beat Morning Joe in ratings last month?

Look Joe,I’m a fan and Hannity is a tool,but this is beneath you and the desperately needed dignity of the media.Rise above for God’s sake.

Disagree. Joe is standing up for his country with passion. Not a bad model IMHO.Defend the Constitution against all foes foreign or domestic

Joe, seriously, you need to quit responding to a$$hats like Hannity. I don’t pay the slightest attention to him yet we watch you daily.
— Ellen (@EllenMignone) June 7, 2017
Condolences on watching Joe.

What do you expect, his liberal girlfriend has been brainwashing him. He’s turned into another liberal hack since he’s been dating her.

Sean dont waste your time arguing with that man child over at NothingButCrap news. It is beneath your station.
— Cindy[REDACTED] (@Bunky7777) June 7, 2017
It’s funny “morning joe” used to look like a strong masculine man. The more liberal he gets the more he looks like Keith Olberman.

Be honest, @joenbc. You read this to yourself over and over in a deep Russian accent.
