MAGA influencer Steve Bannon predicted Republicans would face a "30-seat blowout" in the midterm elections if President Donald Trump and his administration did not commit to deporting 100 million people.
During a Tuesday segment on his War Room program, Bannon complained that the Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Markwayne Mullin had "no appetite" to deport 100 million, as former Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino has called for.
"And so you get Kung Fu plumber, who's running it now," he said of Mullin. "Markwayne Mullin, going to break down and give me some Kung Fu. But he's not going to do any mass deportations."
According to the MAGA influencer, at least one DHS spokesperson should be "terminated immediately" after the spokesperson referred to Bovino as a disgruntled former employee.
"S---- you!" Bannon exclaimed. "DHS, what are you doing about mass deportations? What is Kung Fu plumber doing about that?"
"And Bovino is 100% correct," he continued. "There's a hundred million. When you count all the ones that came in before, there's 100 million."
Bannon argued that if Republicans wanted to win in the November elections, then mass deportations needed to ramp up quickly.
"And this is why President Trump was the greatest comeback in history," he remarked. "And Mark Wayne Mullin, Kung Fu plumber, has got to get serious about this. He's got to get serious about this. He was atrocious in his confirmation hearing."
"He gives me the 'we're a nation of immigrants.' Stop dude. I've heard the left-wing propaganda," he said. "This is crap. Listen, if the War Room posse takes a pass, if you lean on your rakes, there's going to be a 30-seat blowout. Full stop. A 30-seat blowout."
"The Mike Johnsons of the world understand that without the grassroots in this country fired up to go door to door and do voter contact, this is a blowout."
The host concluded by arguing that lobbyists' contributions would not save the Republican Party in the midterms unless officials took action.
"No, that's not going to save you," he insisted. "We need to have some action... and let's get the Somalian fraud and let's indict some people."
