Sean Hannity, apparently, does not take kindly to being called "Fox News' dumbest anchor."

"Fox News' dumbest anchor had a message for y'all," tweeted Bret Stephens, The Wall Street Journal foreign affairs columnist and deputy editorial page editor.


Stephens linked to a Yahoo article summarizing Hannity's comments on his radio show Wednesday in which he pronounced himself "sick and tired" of prominent congressional Republicans like Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell criticizing Trump's pushback against the Muslim parents of a fallen U.S. Army captain.

In response, Hannity responded on Twitter that if Hillary Clinton wins, "I will hold a--holes like you accountable."

That was only one tweet with a late-night barrage mocking Stephens at one point as being part of a class of "arrogant, elitist, enablers" who "created the opening for Trump!"

Someone then suggested that Hannity was under the influence, which the Fox News personality laughed off.

Lol. Just 1 beer at Yankee game!! https://t.co/nbUe4RC21d — Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) August 5, 2016





When someone else said he would hold Hannity accountable instead if Clinton wins, he responded, "So republican primary voters had nothing to do with this. Lol. Laughable. Sounds like you are mad at the voters!"

Hannity kept up his defense against other Twitter users before calling it a night on the social media platform, on which tweeted that he "actually spend[s] little time."

Stephens shot back at Hannity on Friday morning, remarking that the Fox News host reminded him of Kevin Kline's character Otto in the 1988 film "A Fish Called Wanda."

Why does @seanhannity remind me of Otto from "A Fish Called Wanda"? https://t.co/2hTspHoaPM — Bret Stephens (@StephensWSJ) August 5, 2016
