Pauline Hanson has accused David Koch of 'bullying' her after she was ambushed by the Sunrise host in an explosive live television interview on Monday.
The One Nation Senator took to Facebook following the heated on-air exchange in which she was accused by Koch of 'empowering' white supremacists such as Australian Brenton Tarrant, the alleged gunman who killed 50 people in a terrorist attack in Christchurch last week.
Ms Hanson was also embroiled in a fiery face-off with fellow crossbencher Derryn Hinch during her appearance on the program.
In a three minute video that has since attracted 235,394 views, Ms Hanson thanked One Nation fans for their overwhelming support.

'Your comments suggested you thought I was being bullied and shut down, it was an ambush,' an angry Ms Hanson said.
'I felt that way too because I haven't been able to explain myself properly and answer the questions. I know how you feel because you feel exactly the same way and you feel you don't have a voice.'
A fired up Ms Hanson then questioned whether Mr Koch and Senator Hinch had actually read her party's immigration policies.
'Do they understand- I don' think they do. They're quick to criticise me but when I get out and speak to people, I know how you feel because I feel exactly the same way,' she said.
Ms Hanson reiterated she doesn't condone the Christchurch terrorist attack or the way it was conducted 'in any way shape or form' but said people are in fear of 'the ever-changing society we now live in'.

'My heartfelt sympathies go out to the people who have lost their lives and their loved one, the same as I did for all of the other terrorist attacks that happened through out the world,' Ms Hanson said.
'My comments are purely based on let's find the reasons behind these terrorist attacks. Don't shut down debate. Give the people an opportunity to have their say.'
Ms Hanson again downplayed previous connections to under-fire Senator Fraser Anning after being ambushed by Koch and Senator Hinch.
'I don't agree with anything Fraser Anning has said in placing the blame on these innocent people, that's not the way to go about it,' she said.
Many of the 6,300 comments on the Facebook video supported Ms Hanson.
Ms Hanson had a surprising ally in Adelaide-based Imam Tawhid (pictured), who described the ambush on Sunrise as 'unfair, dishonest, misleading and un-Australian'
'I got to give it to you, your a fighter. A lot of people would have thrown in the towel a long time ago. Keep up the great work you do. Id love to shout you a beer if I ever run into you. You're a legend,' one man commented.
One woman added: 'Everybody has the right to explain, to express an opinion. That from Sunrise I think was a shocking display of bullying. Way way out of line! I admire you for staying strong and appreciate this post right now.'
Others called for the launch of an online petition to remove 'Bully Kochie' from Australian television.
But not everyone was supportive.
'Don't like Sunrise, intensely dislike Hanson. They both can get egged profusely and I won't care,' one man commented.
Another added: 'I'm ashamed of Pauline Hanson who has made racism and bigotry more acceptable.'

Ms Hanson had a surprising ally in Adelaide-based Imam Tawhid, who described Monday's saga on Sunrise as 'unfair, dishonest, misleading and un-Australian.'
'That was truly disgusting, Sunrise. What you did to Pauline Hanson this morning was pure cowardice and it only reveals your level of integrity,' he wrote in a lengthy Facebook post.
'As a Muslim, I oppose your politicisation of the NZ mosque Massacre and you trying to pin it on Pauline. Pauline has been silent the entire time, and hasn't made any foolish comments like others in parliament.'
On Monday, Koch didn't hold back when Hanson appeared on Seven's breakfast program, grilling the federal senator on her party's 'anti-Muslim policies' in the wake of Friday's Christchurch terrorist attack which claimed 50 lives.
Alleged Australian gunman Brenton Tarrant released a 74-page terrorist manifesto on social media the day before the tragedy.
'This terrorist manifesto almost reads like One Nation immigration and Muslim policy. Do you feel complicit with this atrocity?,' Koch asked Hanson.
'Your comments suggest you thought I was being bullied and shut down, it was an ambush,' Ms Hanson told supporters in a three minute video following her fiery Sunrise appearance
A defiant Hanson hit back.
'David, I feel for those people and I feel for those families who have lost lives. The same across the road here when we had the Lindt Cafe terrorist attacks.
'We have problems but you've actually got to discuss it and debate the issue. Why we have these terrorist attacks in this country. Why is it happening around the world? Why is it happening in many places?'
