A former head of the Republican National Committee (RNC) went after former chief of staff Reince Priebus after Priebus was ousted last week from the Trump administration.

Priebus previously served as general counsel for former RNC Chairman Michael Steele. But in 2011, Priebus ran against Steele and won the RNC chair.

“This is the bed Reince has been making for himself since he was my general counsel,” Steele told The Atlantic.

“He’s a guy who’s always positioning himself for the next thing. Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it?”

Steele's comments come after President Trump on Friday replaced Priebus with retired four-star Marine Corps general and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly as chief of staff.

Blame had been put on Priebus over the past several months for the lack of progress on Trump's legislative agenda.

Priebus served 189 days on the job, the shortest tenure of any White House chief of staff in history.

The shakeup came after new communications director Anthony Scaramucci went after Priebus in a profane tirade, calling him a "f---ing paranoid schizophrenic" and saying he would be "asked to resign very shortly."
