- Fox News host Mark Levin fires back at Steve Bannon over MAGA loyalty questions
- Levin accuses former Trump adviser of lying and stealing from supporters
- Public feud highlights divisions within conservative media circles
NEW YORK, N.Y. (TDR) — A bitter war of words erupted between two prominent conservative voices this week when Fox News host Mark Levin launched a scathing attack on former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, calling him a “pathological liar” who has “stolen” from the president’s supporters.
The public feud began after Bannon questioned Levin’s MAGA credentials during his War Room show on Real America’s Voice, sparking an aggressive response from the Life, Liberty & Levin host during his Tuesday radio broadcast.
Bannon questions Levin’s Trump loyalty
The conflict ignited when Bannon suggested Levin and others weren’t early Trump supporters. “We’ve been in the trenches with MAGA from the beginning—when you guys hated Trump initially,” Bannon said on War Room. “You hate Trump all the time except when he’s doing something for you.”

The remarks appeared to target Levin and other conservative commentators Bannon views as opportunistic Trump supporters rather than true believers. Bannon, who served as chief strategist in the Trump White House before his 2017 departure, has positioned himself as an ideological guardian of the MAGA movement.
Levin fires back with harsh accusations
Levin wasted no time responding on his radio program, delivering pointed criticisms of Bannon’s character and conduct. The Fox News host accused Bannon of being dishonest and exploiting Trump supporters financially, though he did not provide specific examples of alleged theft during the broadcast.
The exchange reflects deeper tensions within conservative media circles about who represents authentic Trump movement values. Both Levin and Bannon command substantial followings, with Levin hosting shows on Fox News and radio while Bannon operates his independent War Room podcast and video program.
History of conservative infighting
This isn’t the first public dispute between prominent Trump allies. The conservative movement has experienced several high-profile feuds as personalities compete for influence and authenticity within MAGA circles. Bannon himself has clashed with various Trump administration officials and conservative figures over policy and political strategy.

Levin, a constitutional attorney and author, built his media career on strict conservative principles and eventually became a vocal Trump supporter. Bannon, meanwhile, championed Trump’s candidacy early and helped shape the populist nationalist messaging that defined the 2016 campaign.
Implications for conservative unity
The public nature of the dispute raises questions about unity within conservative media heading into future election cycles. Both figures maintain loyal audiences who value their perspectives on politics, culture, and Trump’s ongoing influence in Republican politics.
Neither Levin nor Bannon has indicated willingness to reconcile or clarify their positions beyond the initial exchanges. The feud continues to generate discussion among conservative commentators and Trump supporters online.
Does public infighting between prominent conservative voices strengthen or weaken the broader MAGA movement’s political effectiveness?
