Trump Aide Absolutely Buries Jeanine Pirro in Wild Rant on Steve Bannon’s Show: ‘Never Mention Her Friggin’ Name to Me!’

Trump economic advisor Peter Navarro went off on Judge Jeanine Pirro during a Monday morning appearance with Steve Bannon on his War Room show. Navarro fumed at Pirro, who is currently in hot water with President Donald Trump, for not firing the Justice Department official who oversaw his prosecution, which led to a jail sentence related to his refusal to cooperate with Congress’s investigation into January 6th.

“Do me a favor, Steve, when I’m on camera… And you don’t want to talk about something like Jeanine Pirro, never mention her friggin’ name to me, because that woman still refuses to fire John Crabb, the prosecutor who was involved in putting you and me behind bars, okay?” Navarro said, as Bannon said, “Stop, we love Jeanine.”

Trump raged at Pirro in recent days, publicly saying she “choked” and “folded like an umbrella,” after she dropped vandalism charges related to the Reflecting Pool in DC. Trump has since demanded Pirro continue to prosecute the case, insisting that vandals caused an algae bloom in the pool, which most experts blame on a botched renovation undertaken by Trump’s administration.

“So don’t you dare to [mention] Judge Jeanine,” Navarro said as Bannon added, “I can’t deal with your personal–”

“I, you know, I’m just telling you, that guy, how is that guy still working here, pointing me in a courtroom and said I was above the law. Those… You get my drift,” Navarro continued as Bannon spoke in the background.

“I get your drift,” Bannon said, as Navarro added, “Don’t get me stoked out.”

“They accuse the president of having all these personal vendettas. The media never really met Peter Navarro. No, that’s totally unacceptable,” Bannon agreed.

“That’s a professional– that guy is on the inside, Steve, of our Justice Department. That guy was responsible for so much… He went after you, he should be gone. Jeanine, are you listening?” Navarro fumed.

“I want Judge Pirro to know I had nothing to do with this sound, this is Navarro,” Bannon quipped in reply.

“You set me up here, but it was unwittingly, Steve, because sometimes it happens with you, but not very often,” Navarro agreed.

“I’m going to hold you through the break,” Bannon said, quickly trying to move and go to a commercial.
