Those of you unfamiliar with the particulars of the conservative media may be unaware that Ann Coulter‘s big issue these days is immigration. She supports Donald Trump and really, really hates Marco Rubio.
This past weekend, The New York Times reported that Rubio met privately with Fox News’ Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes to talk about Fox News easing up on immigration reform so it wouldn’t get a big firewall of opposition.
The Times report specifically highlights Sean Hannity as being “more supportive” after that meeting, which led to Coulter calling out the Fox News host:
Hannity on Rubio's amnesty, Jan 2013: “It’s probably the most thoughtful bill that I have heard heretofore.” https://t.co/kJV483Hcvl

Hannity did not take that lying down:
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

Coulter responded today and they really got into it:
Sean–love you! But you did say after '12 electn, you'd "evolved" on immigratn & supported "pathway to citizenship"

Apologize for quoting you? You quote me on Christie all the time! Christie didn't nearly wreck country, like Rubio. https://t.co/X5PFPJr0QD
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 29, 2016
The record is Rubio duped you. That's who you should be mad at. He went on your show and lied & lied & lied. https://t.co/G4G6rarXCY
