The former Trump White House official called the top Senate Republican a 'dirt bag' and a 'little wimp.'

Bannon went on to predict that McConnell would not be the Senate majority leader again if Republicans take back the majority. Bannon said his prediction was"as sure as the turning of the Earth." He called McConnell a"little wimp," claiming that he"loves" being referred to as"leader."

In an interview broadcast Thursday on Spectrum News, McConnell expressed interest in the work being done by the January 6 select committee in the House. He suggested he viewed their investigation as important. Trump and McConnell have repeatedly clashed following the January 6 attack against the U.S. Capitol. Hundreds of Trump supporters violently stormed the legislative building on that day in an apparent effort to prevent the formal certification of President's Electoral College victory. The assault came after Trump spoke at a nearby rally and urged his supporters to"fight like hell" after he had lied for months about the outcome of the 2020 election.

"The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things," he asserted.
