Social media reacted with surprise when conservative political commentator Ann Coulter ripped into Fox News anchor Sean Hannity. Coulter criticized Hannity on her blog Wednesday, writing that he has the "zealotry of those who came late to the Trump party," and would go to great lengths to defend the president.

"Sean Hannity, bless his heart, has the zeal of the late Trump convert," Coulter wrote in a post entitled "Even Trump Can't Make Goldman Sachs Popular," adding that the conservative television and radio pundit would "endorse communism if Trump decided to implement 'The Communist Manifesto.'"

Some on Twitter welcomed the two prominent voices in conservative media attacking each other while others were surprised to find themselves agreeing with Coulter, who usually draws the ire from liberal-leaning users on social media.

Trump supporters rushed to defend Hannity, denouncing Coulter's attack on the longtime Fox News personality as an attack on the president. One user asked Hannity to not have her on his show anymore and compared her to the New York Times.

"Ann, u fall in and out of love with Christie Romney Trump and how many others," he wrote on Twitter. "Frankly you just bore me."
