Anti-Trump conservative Rick Wilson threatened to “gut” another guest “like a fish” on “CNN Tonight With Don Lemon” Thursday.

WATCH:

Wilson bumped heads with talk show host John Fredericks, saying, “You know, hearing John’s defense of Trump and of this overtly racist aspect of it, it shocks me that we still have people in this country, you know, don’t bother calling yourself a conservative if you don’t believe that there’s a way where people who come and embrace the proposition of this country can become Americans. Because we’ve worked very hard in this country to accept people from around the world and of varying backgrounds, and you know what, John? I’m sure your ancestors here weren’t descended from the Mayflower in some cloud of heavenly light. I’m sure they came here from Ireland or Germany or Italy or somewhere else. And you know what? Back then, they were the shithole people. Back then, they were the people who were looked down upon.” (RELATED: Bernie Sanders On Trump Comments: ‘We Will Not Tolerate That Type Of Moral Inadequacy’ [VIDEO])

Wilson then implored Fredericks to get a “pointy white hat” in a reference to the Ku Klux Klan.

Wilson added, “If this is a country that’s based on the proposition that we have an American system, an American dream, an American framework that allows people to come here and work hard, and raise their families, and engage in society, and contribute to society. Then your idea that these people should be bounded out of here, because they happen to come from the ‘shithole countries’ is absurdly un-American, absurdly unconstitutional, and not conservative in any way whatsoever. And if you believe that, go on Amazon, order yourself a pointy white hat, head down to Home Depot and get the wood to build a burning cross, cause that’s the kind of thing you’re talking about. That’s where your attitude leads to.” (RELATED: CBC Chair: Trump Comments ‘Further Proof’ His Agenda Is ‘Make America White Again’)

Fredericks responded, “Well, it’s about economics, Rick, and you can throw all the insults you want, I appreciate it, but look, at the end of the day…”

Wilson shot back, “No, you don’t appreciate it John, you are a weak, impotent person who can’t handle the fact that there are people who don’t look like you, who want to come to this country because our system is awesome. You hate that, you hate it so much, because you’re so just weak inside!”

Fredericks replied, “That’s your substantive argument to me, Rick Wilson, who backed every losing candidate…”

Wilson said, “John, I will gut you like a fish on this show, if you want to keep this up. You don’t have a substantive argument, your argument is based entirely on the fact that these people are brown!”

“All right, guys,” host Don Lemon said, breaking up the back and forth.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
