Steve Bannon may have just stepped into Crimson Tide-sized trouble.

Stumping for embattled Republican Senate Roy Moore Monday night in Midland, Alabama, Breitbart News executive chairman Steve Bannon mocked MSNBC host Joe Scarborough by telling the crowd he went to much better schools - Georgetown and Harvard - than the former Florida Congressman.

The issue? Scarborough is a graduate of the University of Alabama - the largest university in the state his candidate wants to represent in the U.S. Senate. Moore himself attended the school, graduating from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1977.

It didn't take long for Scarborough, a frequent critic of Bannon, to respond, even referencing the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic "Sweet Home Alabama."

Hey Bannon, you only went to Harvard because you couldn't get into Alabama. #RollDamnTide https://t.co/AUj9U3CihU — Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) December 12, 2017

Others soon joined in:

@JoeNBC, Sewanee stands with you in this difficult hour. To paraphrase the wounded President Reagan's surgeon, "Today we're all the Crimson Tide." (Get the Dores on board, @WillieGeist.) — Jon Meacham (@jmeacham) December 12, 2017

Scarborough will be in Alabama Tuesday for a live broadcast. Scarborough will be joined by co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist at Char Bar No. 7 at Lane Parke in Mountain Brook from 5 a.m.-8 a.m. CT.

Moore faces Democrat Doug Jones in the Dec. 12 election.
