Fans of Fox & Friends lashed out on Sunday after anchor Shepard Smith preempted the final two hours of the Sunday morning show for coverage of Hurricane Irma.

Although Fox & Friends is scheduled to air until 10 a.m. ET on Sundays, the hosts were forced to hand off the broadcast to Smith at 8 a.m.

The reaction of Fox News viewers was swift and harsh.

Well shit! @FoxNews has let @ShepNewsTeam start bloviating, time for a movie I guess! #shepsucks #dramaqueen
