... As the host of one of the top radio shows in the country and with a prime-time television slot on Fox News, Hannity was easily the most visible member of the Trump-boosting media, making him a popular target.
Conservatives have publicly and privately trashed him for supporting the New York billionaire, something they have argued required him to betray the very principles he had for years vowed to protect. More and more, he has found himself on something of an island, punching back at critics who say he has made a colossal mistake.
And in recent weeks, the conservative talk-show host seemed to have had enough, not only moving to declare war on the Never Trump faction of the conservative news movement but also deciding to do so in a scorched-earth manner.
"Months before a single vote was cast, Sean threw his full support, on both his television and radio programs, behind the most liberal candidate in a field of 17 Republicans," John Ekdahl of the popular conservative Ace of Spades blog said Monday.

I never go on TWITTER, but two nights ago, I am sure after many cocktails between the three of them, there was a TWIITER WAR between Hannity, Rich Lowery and Jonah Goldberg. It was like watching high school kids fight. This is political discourse today.
yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn.
Having the President of the US give you PRIME Interviews every year will help his career rebound just a little.
Just by calling Trump a liberal shows that these idiots don’t know what a conservative is.
The voice of authority on all matters conservative . . .
You don’t get too much flack unless you are over the target!
Liar, the majority of the trashers are soreloser GOPe RINOS (and some soreloser Cruzers).
I was tired of Hannity in recent years. But I got to say, he has flat been right on track this election. He’s one of the only big hosts that truly gets what’s at stake. I have a whole new respect for him.
I just saw this headline. Thesepeople are NUTS!!!!!”
Don’t compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler.”
BS. Kasich, Graham, Bush, and Rubio at least were less conservative than Trump. The only one who might have been more conservative was Cruz (and I say that as a former Cruzer), but he played all his cards wrong and lost, fair and square, then showed a lack of the one attribute that defines a conservative, integrity, when he refused to keep his word and support the nominee.
They should change the name of the mag to “Crony Insider”
The cheap labor lobby rises up!
AMEN JIM!!!
How do you spell woop de doo?
Just by calling Trump a liberal shows that these idiots don’t know what a conservative is.
I have more respect for Hannity right now because he has been honorable.
First, this election is not about liberal vs.r conservative — it’s about the establishment vs. the people.
Second, John McCain and Mitt Romney are far more liberal (in behavior if not in words) than Donald Trump. Why didn’t “Business Insider” castigate Hannity for supporting those two losers?
The republicans not supporting Trump ate not and never have been consrrvatives, 97% are RINO’S
Business Insider is such a commie liberal site. It is like reading the Huffington post. Every term is defined backwards and they just make up facts that don’t exist. All for the purpose of turning people against Trump. They have Zero credibility.
I agree, and I’m a former Cruzer.
