Earlier in the day, Bannon, who is one of President Donald Trump’s closest advisers, criticized journalists in a quote published in the New York Times.

“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for awhile,” Bannon said.

“I want you to quote this,” Bannon clarified. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”

After returning from a commercial break on his program, “The Lead,” Tapper referenced Bannon’s low opinion of the media.

“A reminder that the president’s top aide told the New York Times that the press should keep its mouth shut,” Tapper said. “Ha! No.”
