“With all due respect to my friend at 10 o’clock, he will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to the unsafe spaces these days,” Ms. Kelly said of Mr. Trump. Fox News has long insisted that its political journalists, like Ms. Kelly, operate separately from its prominent right-leaning commentators. But that distinction has been a source of increasing strain as Mr. Trump has avoided interviews with the network’s news anchors in favor of more sympathetic personalities like Mr. Hannity and Bill O’Reilly. Ms. Kelly did not immediately respond to Mr. Hannity’s online comments, which he issued several minutes after the beginning of his 10 p.m. broadcast on Wednesday. Mr. Hannity did not address Ms. Kelly’s remarks on his show.
