Mike Pence called for attacks on the FBI to be stopped.
The former White House chief strategist called the vice president a "disgusting coward" for his comments.
It shows how far Trumpworld is willing to go in attacking its former friends.
In another example of the widening gap between Trumpworld and Republican lawmakers who decline to take part in its rhetoric, Steve Bannon eviscerated former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday for rebuking GOP politicians who called for the FBI to be defunded.
You are a disgrace. "Just even the sight of you bugs me," he said during his show on Real America's Voice.
Bannon called the former vice president a "mindless, gutless simp" in a lengthy rant against him.

The attacks on the FBI must stop, said Vice President Mike Pence at a New Hampshire event. The calls to defund the FBI are the same as the calls to defund the police.
Some of Trump's most vocal supporters on the Hill have advocated to defund.
The bureau's raid on Mar-a-Lago was the reason for their calls. The FBI warned of an increase in threats shortly after the search.
The Republican party is the party of law and order, according to the vice president.
The FBI's raid represented the actions of a police state, which was why some Republicans were calling for it to be dismantled, according to the argument made by Steve Bannon.
He claimed there wasn't a comparison between de funding the police and other things. We did not call for de funding the police. The police state needs to be defunded.
While Bannon has a history of making controversial remarks and wild claims without basis, his latest comments on Pence are another example of a high-profile Trump loyalist lashing out at even former close allies.
The two men have fallen out with each other before. He was one of the most powerful people in the White House until he was fired.
Bannon was pardoned by Trump in 2020. The two have made comments about each other.
After he refused to comply with the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol attack, he was found guilty of two counts of contempt of congress. He is going to be sentenced in October and will appeal.
