Fox News host Sean Hannity decried his network colleague Shepard Smith during his radio show on Monday for being "so anti-Trump."
Hannity seemed to refer to a segment in which Smith accused the Trump administration of lying, CNN reports. Smith is a news anchor while Hannity is a commentator, but Hannity said that Smith nevertheless shows some bias.
"I like Shep," Hannity said. "But he's so anti-Trump. I mean, he went off on a rant last week."
Smith's so-called rant involved saying that the Trump administration has a track record of dishonesty. The clip received plenty of attention, with CNN even saying it "went viral" online.
"They tell us there's nothing to this," Smith said with growing incredulity. "Nothing came of it, it's a nothing burger, it wasn't even memorable, didn't write it down, didn't tell you about it because it wasn't anything and I didn't even remember it."
"Why all these lies?" he asked. "Why is it lie after lie after lie?"
"There are still some people out there who believe we are making it up," he added.
Smith's comments were contradicting Hannity's regular argument, which is that the "destroy Trump media" is trumping up the Russia scandal. Hannity said he did not hold it against Smith personally, who he calls a friend.
"Like, Shep and I [have] been friends for years, we just respect we don't agree," Hannity said. "And the media was praising Shep and he's not the biggest fan of Trump, fine! We don't talk politics when we hang out, when I see him we have the best time and we just have this mutual respect."
Hannity also said on his show that he disagreed with many of the people at Fox News.
"I'll say this about the Fox News Channel, there are voices on Fox that drive me nuts," he said.
Hannity claimed that these things do not affect his ability to maintain professionalism.
"Shep Smith disagrees with me. And he does so vehemently," Hannity said. "Fine, I have no problem with it."
Both hosts have been with Fox News since the network began in 1996.
