President Donald Trump's stranglehold on the Republican Party is so strong that countless GOP lawmakers and governors are in constantly fear of saying or doing anything that might offend him. Yet there is plenty of infighting within the MAGA movement and among Trump's supporters.

"War Room" host Steve Bannon and SpaceX/Tesla/X.com leader Elon Musk are both major Trump allies, but there is considerable bad blood between them.

Meanwhile, far-right Fox News host Mark R. Levin and Steve Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy, are bitterly attacking one another and having what Mediaite's Isaac Schorr describes as an "online war of words."

Levin took offence to Witkoff's comment, "The neocon element believes that war is the only way to solve things."

In a May 9 post on X, formerly Twitter, Levin wrote, "The envoy talks like the fifth column isolationists. Nobody believes war is the only way."

In a subsequent post, Levin tweeted, "By the way, neocon is a pejorative for Jew. Unbelievable."

The American Conservative's Kurt Mills attacked Levin's posts, tweeting, "'Fifth column.' This Fox host groundlessly calls Trump’s chosen envoy a traitor to the United States. Perhaps the White House will stop granting Levin interviews or access to POTUS."
