Steve Bannon and Kash Patel, two of former President Donald Trumps staunchest allies, said another term in office for the Republican frontrunner would see him target conspirators in the media.

Patel, who served as a chief of staff in the Pentagon and worked in the Justice Department, made the comments in an interview on Bannons War Room podcast. Bannon said a second Trump term would see the so-called deep state taken apart, brick by brick, claiming people who did evil deeds would be held accountable and prosecuted.

We will follow the facts and the law, Patel replied. We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media. Yes, were going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.

Were going to come after you, Patel continued. Whether its criminally or civilly, well figure that out. But yeah, were putting you all on notice, and Steve, this is why they hate us. This is why were tyrannical. This is why were dictators.

Kash Patel says as Trumps next CIA Director he will lead patriots appointed by Trump in an all-out effort to prosecute and jail people in government and the media: We will find the conspirators in govt and the media. Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media. pic.twitter.com/NuLyqOIKWO

Bannon earlier issued an ultimatum to those in the media, saying his words were absolutely dead serious and blaming those in the deep state for destroying the country.

Trump himself promised retribution earlier this year should he be elevated to the Oval Office once more. He remains the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, and has built his campaign on anger surrounding his 2020 electoral loss to Joe Biden.

He declined to say he would abuse power or retaliate against his political opponents in an interview with Fox News Sean Hannity on Tuesday, adding he planned to act like a dictator on just the first day of a new term.

The Associated Press reported later Tuesday that the Trump campaign had distanced itself from Bannon and Patels comments, saying their remarks have nothing to do with the former presidents aims.
