Former White House aide and commentator Steve Bannon ripped into Fox News host Mark Levin this week as the two continue to trade barbs over the U.S. military’s involvement in the war between Israel and Iran.
“Boy, Tel Aviv Levin’s big mad,” Bannon said during an episode of his popular “War Room” podcast. “He’s big mad as a spokesmodel for a foreign nation that didn’t get them what they want.”
The MAGA firebrand was referring to a social media post by Levin earlier this week that called Bannon “a disgusting fraud” over his time serving as a top aide to President Trump.
“You opposed our great military and commander in chief at a time when they acted to destroy Iran’s nukes,” Levin wrote of Bannon on the social platform X.
“You and your tiny cabal of lunatics gave aide and comfort to the enemy,” he continued. “Now you prance around like you support our country rather than apologize for your outrageous disloyalty.”
Levin is a leading voice on the right advocating for stronger military action against Iran and has used his weekend Fox News show to urge Trump to intervene in the conflict.
Bannon, along with former Fox pundit Tucker Carlson, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) and others on the right, have argued a for more isolationist point of view, warning that “neo-cons” are trying to drag the U.S. into another Middle Eastern war.
Trump over the weekend authorized the U.S. military to launch strikes on three nuclear facilities near Tehran. Support among the president’s allies has been largely split over the move, but Bannon signaled earlier this month that most would “get on board” if the U.S. did intervene.
