Steve Bannon has had it with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, issuing a brutal beatdown of her fearmongering over President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet appointments.

Bannon took Maddow to task on “WarRoom” where he set the record straight on Trump’s appointments and gave the MSNBC host some free advice in the process.

Watch:

“I think that the idea of authoritarian, the authoritarian promise is that everything shrivels in government other than the will of the leader, right,” Maddow said. “So you don’t necessarily put a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of HHS because you’re hoping for great things from HHS. I mean, Matt Gaetz, among all the other things we can say about Matt Gaetz, he has proposed abolishing the Justice Department. Not just specifically abolishing the FBI and the ATF, but talking about abolishing the Justice Department.”

“I mean Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence, the idea that Tulsi Gabbard, under normal circumstances could get a security clearance to be a Walmart-style greeter at any US intelligence agency let alone get past the security barriers, is insane,” the unhinged host continued. “You do that because you want the worst for these agencies because you want the worst for the US government because you think the US government is worthless.”

She suggests that Trump’s appointments are one giant conspiracy aimed at establishing himself as an unquestionable leader, evoking Bannon’s name.

“Tulsi Gabbard is a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army. She served over in, I don’t know, outside of Syria or wherever we send the Army today. So she has a security clearance that has nothing to do with Walmart,” the Trump ally stated. “And if I was you, ma’am, I’d watch what you say about people. When you go after and smear someone who has put their life on the line when you’ve done nothing. You sat on your ass up there at your big house in Connecticut with your friends and your elitest- you’ve done nothing for this country.”

And he was just getting started.

“Came out of Stanford, all you’ve done is try to destroy this country and the people in this country. And you’re not gonna sit there and say a hero like Tulsi Gabbard- are you going after her because she’s a woman of color? Is that what it is? You think you can talk like that because she’s a woman of color?” Bannon said, pulling their own race card on them. “Or she’s not a lesbian? Is that the case? What did you say? You said she couldn’t get a security clearance, lady. She got a security clearance, and she earned that security clearance by serving her country, something you have not done. And your ilk have not done.”

“Let me cut to the chase; the American people heard your crap for eight years … And the American people rendered a verdict. And in their judgment and their wisdom, and all your things ‘anti-Democratic’ and ‘fascist,’ and everything like that, the American people voted for this. They voted for this,” he emphasized. “They threw you guys out. Both houses of Congress. The executive branch. And they know, by doing that, we would also take over the courts. So we’re sorry if we’re going to run this for 50 years but I tell you what, we commit to the American people we’re going to run it a lot better than what you ran.”

“[Gabbard] earned her security clearance. What have you done? … It’s going to be so fabulous when we take this thing apart brick by brick…

What I would do ma’am is lawyer up, lawyer up, lawyer up,” he concluded.
