MAGA influencer Steve Bannon sounded the alarm to his "War Room posse" as Democrats sought to slow the confirmations of President Donald Trump's nominees.
During his Thursday podcast, Bannon said Democrats were using tactics that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) deployed against then-President Barack Obama in 2009.
"And as we've told you, on the resistance, the Democrats are now slowing everything down," the War Room host complained. "They've taken the playbook of McConnell from 2009, the early days of the President Obama situation, where McConnell really grinded the Senate, tried to grind the Senate to a halt."
"All of President Trump's nominees going forward are going to take forever," he continued. "The second and third tier, things like Monica Crowley at Protocol, all these others, because a thousand have to be confirmed, approximately. The Senate's going to grind."
According to Bannon, Democrats were "playing games" with Kash Patel, Trump's nominee for FBI director.
"Bottom line, they're going to try to chop block everything President Trump's doing now," he said. "We've forecasted this, and now it's happening, either in federal courts, state courts, on Capitol Hill."
"This is gonna be a tough slog, And this is why we need to get on the point of attack and know how we push certain things through."

White House officials, however, have bragged about the pace of Trump's confirmations.
" Trump is getting more cabinet picks confirmed so far than the average president in the modern era," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said earlier this week.
