Newly Released Steve Bannon Says Four Month Prison Sentence ‘Not Only Didn’t Break Me, It Empowered Me’

Trump ally and War Room host Steve Bannon was back at work Tuesday morning after serving a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena in the Democrats’ sham investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“The four months in federal prison not only didn’t break me, it empowered me,” the 70-year-old said during his first podcast since being released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut early Tuesday. “I am more energized and more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life.”

Bannon also said that his time serving as a political prisoner in a federal prison had shown him that young African-American and Hispanic men “detest, detest Kamala Harris.”

“They detest her,” he stressed, adding that he’d have more to say about why that is at his press conference this afternoon.

“We have a chance to move past race on November 5,” he told his War Room audience.

Bannon reported to the prison on July 1 after the Supreme Court rejected his bid to delay the prison sentence while he appealed his conviction.

A Washington DC jury found Bannon guilty in July 2022 of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition with the partisan Jan. 6 House Select Committee and a second for refusing to hand over documents related to his involvement in Trump’s efforts to challenge the outcome of the rigged 2020 presidential election.

Bannon is facing additional lawfare charges in New York state court, alleging money laundering, conspiracy, and fraud related to a fundraising effort to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Bannon has pleaded not guilty to those charges and the case is scheduled to go to trial in December.

Bannon, a former Trump White House chief strategist, said the Democrats and their allies on MSNBC and CNN “have no intention of giving up power,” and described a three phase strategy to thwart the regime’s “nullification project.”

The first phase, Bannon said, was the GOP get out the vote effort on November 5, the second was to prevent Democrats from stealing the election, and third, to stop its “delegitimization process” in which the regime smears Trump and his supporters as Nazis, fascists and racists.

Bannon stressed that we need to “CRUSH” the Democrats at the polls next week.

 

Update:

During his press conference Tuesday afternoon, Bannon reiterated that he was not broken, but feeling empowered because he was able “to listen, to observe and to learn from working class minorities.”

The War Room host thanked the Education Dept. of the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution for allowing him to teach a civics class to young minority men while he was incarcerated.

Bannon said he had close to 100 students in three different classes, the majority of which were minority African-American and Hispanic men.

“I can report to you that these young men—most of whom are nonviolent drug offenders that have quite frankly a lot of years in prison—these people came to this with a new awakening,” Bannon said, adding that it is the same awakening the American people are going through—that the system is not only broken, the system is rigged against the working class of this nation.”
