A Twitter account for a podcast run by former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was permanently suspended by the social media company after he suggested beheading Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Bannon, speaking on his “War Room” podcast, said President Trump shouldn’t just fire Wray and Fauci, he should dismember the government officials “as a warning to federal bureaucrats.”

“I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England,” Bannon said in the bizarre rant.

“I’d put the heads on pikes. I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats, you either get with the program or you’re gone,” he added.

In an email, Twitter said it “permanently” suspended Bannon’s @WarRoomPandemic account after Bannon’s rant.

“The @WarRoomPandemic account has been permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules, specifically our policy on the glorification of violence,” a spokesperson for Twitter said in a statement.

Bannon is out on bail after he was arrested by federal authorities in August and hit with fraud and money laundering charges for an alleged scheme to bilk donors to a “We Build the Wall” online fundraiser.

Bannon pleaded not guilty to those charges, which were brought in the Southern District of New York, and has claimed they are a “fiasco” by people who want to stop a border wall from being built.
