Steve Bannon: Non-Christian nationalists 'all have to be purged' in Trump's second term

Right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon called for a purging of people who are not Christian nationalists if Donald Trump wins a second term as president.

On his Monday War Room broadcast, Bannon celebrated author Tim Alberta's warnings about Christian nationalism on MSNBC.

"When you begin to think of America as almost this covenant nation, that God has ordained us, God has blessed us, and you are fighting for God by fighting for America, that is Christian nationalism, and that is what has infected much of the church today," Alberta told the hosts of Morning Joe.

"Sign me up," Bannon reacted. "I mean, I think this is the best recruiting pitch I've heard."

Bannon's guest, My Pillow CEO and election denier Mike Lindell, called Alberta's MSNBC appearance "amazing."

"A nation had turned its back on God, and God's given us grace right now for such a time as this for the greatest revival in history," Lindell said.

Bannon compared Trump to Roman dictator Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus.

"Trump's the American Cincinnatus has come back to fight all this," he remarked. "This is why they're trying to throw him in prison."

The War Room host vowed to play the clip of Alberta all day.

"He's saying the problem in the church — think about that — the problem we have in the church is people love the country too much. No, dude, that's not the problem," Bannon insisted. "That's the sick, twisted people that watch MSNBC that must be defeated so they no longer can infest the government of this country."

"They all have to be purged," he added. "Purged. Right. Anybody who would think that was bad has to be purged."
