Hannity later said Trump’s invitation to join him on stage was unexpected, which many at the channel disbelieved. “You know he’s lying through his teeth, right?” said one current Fox News staffer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly. Hannity maintained on his show after election night that “he had no idea” that the president was going to invite him up there…

“When I left Fox, nobody inside there liked Trump,” said Eric Bolling, former co-host of the Fox News show “The Five.” “Now, look at it. Everyone is falling into line.”

When Trump declared his candidacy, divisions inside the network played out on camera. Dana Perino, a former press secretary for George W. Bush, was dubbed one of the “Bushies,” and Greg Gutfeld, another co-host of “The Five,” regularly attacked Trump on air. Other Fox personalities, including Bolling himself, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Hannity were pro-Trump from the start.

Bolling and Guilfoyle have left the network. (Guilfoyle is dating the president’s son Donald Trump Jr.) Today, both Perino, who has been given her own 2 p.m. news show, and Gutfeld are quieter in their objections.
