Fox News star Sean Hannity and MSNBC star Joe Scarborough continued their ongoing feud on Twitter Wednesday morning and the “Morning Joe” namesake eventually implied that Hannity’s next gig will be for the state-run RT network in Russia.
Earlier on Wednesday, Scarborough called President Trump a “schmuck” on “Morning Joe” and Hannity responded with the following tweet:

Scarborough quickly responded, calling Hannity “obsessed” and didn’t let up after just one tweet, eventually telling the Fox News host his next gig would be at RT, which is the state-run Russia Today network.
Comrade, your continued obsession with those who refuse to be apparatchiks for Russia suggests resentment and envy. You are obsessed. https://t.co/cGXlb4PYiM

We'll send a care package to the Motherland for you. How about a Beatles bootleg LP & blue jeans. You can wear them on your next gig at RT. https://t.co/XSziuQ9bLl

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 has been one of the biggest Trump supporters in the media industry, while Scarborough has flip flopped several times about his views on the president.
In recent shows, Scarborough said Trump would be sent for a “psychiatric evaluation” if he were a CEO, compared the president to a “kid pooping his pants” and to a character in “Dumb and Dumber.”
These are just a few of Scarborough’s daily attacks on POTUS, who was widely criticized for being too close to Trump during the GOP primary. “Morning Joe” turned on Trump and the attacks have been getting more direct and personal on a regular basis.
Last month, the two had a similar spat when Scarborough bashed the Fox News host for continuing to trumpet conspiracy theories about former Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich, who was murdered in Washington, D.C.
Hannity responded by mocking the MSNBC rival’s ratings and relationship with his co-anchor and fiancee Mika Brzezinski.
