Fox News’ Sean Hannity went after CNN’s Jim Acosta again tonight and this time Acosta directly responded.

Last night Hannity argued that Acosta deserved to be heckled because of his biased coverage of President Donald Trump.

Tonight Hannity continued slamming Acosta––though he did say he would be the first one to defend him if anyone got violent with him––by pointing to examples like Sarah Sanders being asked to leave the Red Hen and asking Acosta where his outrage was then.

Hannity even brought on Sean Spicer and Sebastian Gorka to knock Acosta and ask why he doesn’t speak out when conservatives feel threatened.

After Hannity’s commentary on Acosta aired tonight, the CNN White House correspondent actually fired back on Twitter:

Hannity is a propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night. He says he’s just a talk show host, not a journalist. But he’s injecting poison into the nation’s political bloodstream warping public attitudes about the press. I’m confident in the long run the truth will prevail.
