Has Stone been in the cups lately?

Former Donald Trump advisor Roger Stone ranted against Sean Hannity Tuesday night, and claimed that he prevented the Fox News host from becoming the president’s chief of staff, a position filled by former Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus.

Emulating President Trump himself, Stone took to Twitter to make his claims.

Sean Hannity and his lackey Bill Shine blocked me from Fox because I blocked Sean’s insane effort to become @realDonaldTrump WH COS

He followed that one with an observation the one-time Hannity producer Bill Shine, who rose to become a Fox News co-president, is out of the cable network, is gone,and predicted Hannity would be next. He also made reference to Hannity’s early years as a house painter with the hashtag #EgomaniacHousePainter.

Bill Shine out. @seanhannity next. One down , one to go! I had to kill Hannity effort to become Trump WH COS #EgomaniacHousePainter

While the Trump team was still in its transition phase, Stone made a similar taunts directed at former businessman and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, claiming that Trump only dangled the secretary of state position out to Romney to “torture” him, knowing Romney desired it. The Trump team denied this at the time.

The position was filled by another former businessman, Rex Tillerson.

Hannity responded a half-hour later, claiming that he never wanted the chief of staff position or any position, for that matter, in the Trump White House.

Roger, with all due respect, I NEVER EVER ASKED to be considered for any WH job, nor would I ever have accepted, nor is that my skill set. https://t.co/P1yczkqL8a

In a follow-up, Hannity said there was never any effort on his part to keep Stone off Fox News. In response to the #EgomaniacHousePainter taunt, the Fox News host said he would be happy to paint the president’s office if asked.

There was never any “HANNITY EFFORT” to kill. But if I was asked I would have painted the Oval for @POTUS and I would have done a good job. https://t.co/P1yczkqL8a

If I had painted the oval I assume that would make me an #EgomaniacHousePainter. I just want Americans safe, working, out of poverty. Best S https://t.co/P1yczkqL8a

Hannity ended with a Bible reference, “For he who is not against us is for us,” and expressed hope that Stone continues to be of service to the president.

Honestly, I believe in the Bible admonition, “he who is not vs us. “if @RogerJStoneJr is helping the @POTUS – good! Don’t care if I’m liked! https://t.co/1XugdzFGQY

Hannity apparently tweeted his responses during commercial breaks on his show Tuesday night.
