'America First' patriot Steve Bannon emerged from a federal prison in Connecticut early Tuesday morning, hellbent on saving the Republic from a Communist takeover.
The former Trump advisor had been incarcerated for 120 days in the Danbury Correctional Facility after he was declared guilty of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify before the Democrat-run House Jan. 6 committee. Bannon pled not guilty to the charges.
"The four months in federal prison not only didn't break me, it empowered me. I am more energized and more focused than I've ever been in my entire life." – Steve Bannon
Images of Bannon exiting the facility at 3:00 a.m. and being welcomed, open-armed, by his daughter, Maureen, lit up social media.
"Steve Bannon is no longer a political prisoner and will be back behind the mic at 10 AM on Warroom," she posted on X.
RETURN TO 'WAR ROOM'
In his first post-incarceration appearance on War Room Live, Bannon wasted no time rousing voters and buoying the spirits of MAGA supporters with his truth bombs.
"The four months in federal prison not only didn't break me, it empowered me," he said of the Dems' attempt to silence him. "I am more energized and more focused than I've ever been in my entire life."
Bannon spoke directly to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) – House Speaker at the time he was declared in contempt of Congress – for sending him, Soviet-style, to federal prison.
"Nancy Pelosi, take out your number two pencil and write this down. ... We're gonna deliver a knockout blow to your progressive insanity on November 5th," he thundered. "And then we're gonna secure the deal after that."
"Time to bring this election season to crescendo with the Honey Badger hammering it home!" – comment on X
"I want to make sure everybody understands something," Bannon cautioned his listeners on the livestream. "They [the Dems] have no intention of giving up power."
Alerting Americans about what is likely to come if Trump wins on Election Day, he warned: "Every Day After November 5th Will Be Like Stalingrad."
Described as the MAGA equivalent of George Washington and Paul Revere in the 21st century battle for America's independence, Bannon urged his countrymen to take courage and be prepared to sacrifice.
"Let me say something, if you're not prepared to be sent to a federal prison as a political prisoner, then you're not worthy to be in this movement, and to step forward and try to save your country," he said. "You have to understand: they want to put you in prison and they will put you in prison. If you can't accept that, then you don't know what they represent."
"He shows the fire and fight our Founding Fathers had!" – online comment
PRESS CONFERENCE IN MANHATTAN
Later on Tuesday, the political strategist reiterated his missive against the two-tiered, weaponized justice system that all Americans face.
"I am finally out of being a political prisoner by the Merrick Garland, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi regime," he declared.
Setting the record straight about the illegitimacy of his conviction, he said: "For standing up for my political beliefs against an illegitimate committee in the House that did not have a ranking member and did not have minority counsel, I went to federal prison."
He added, "Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland thought they were going to do two things: shut down the War Room as a voice for the grassroots MAGA movement and break me."
"Dems are going to fight dirty and MAGA won't be silenced." – online comment
But, Bannon repeated, "They didn't break me – I've been empowered by my four months at Danbury."
The source of his power, he said, came from what he learned from working-class minorities – the young African-American and Hispanic men with whom he was imprisoned.
Bannon said he learned that they view Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris as the "Queen of Mass Incarcerations," seeing clearly from their prison cells her refusal to deport criminal illegal aliens en masse, while allowing the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to fail in enforcing Trump's 2018 First Step Act, a measure designed to reform federal prisons and sentencing laws.
The men are "rotting in prison" with "their families broken," Bannon lamented, noting that "the First Step Act is very clear about what is supposed to happen" – i.e., opportunity for early release, pending completion of vocational training and good behavior.
"This is criminal negligence at the highest levels by the BOP and the Justice department." – Steve Bannon
Bannon also said he learned that the prisoners – most of whom are non-violent drug offenders – understand their chances for employment, post-incarceration, is nullified by Border Czar Kamala Harris' importation of cheap labor through her open-border policy.
The grassroots MAGA movement is on "the cusp of the biggest political comeback in the history of this nation," Bannon continued, buoyed by the embrace of everyday Americans – including now, "as polling shows," African-American and Hispanic men.
They understand the "scam," he said. "This administration purposely let in millions of illegal aliens to drive down labor cost."
Bannon noted Kamala's "desperate" campaign has morphed, as it has dawned on her that the populations she has taken for granted are leaving the Democrat plantation. Proof of this is her pivot from the "politics of joy" to "darkness and night falls on America" – the latter labeling Trump, and anyone who supports him, a "fascist."
"Working-class people – particularly African-American and Hispanic men – do not buy this," Bannon observed.
"I can tell you from being a political prisoner that the young men that are African-American and Hispanic DETEST Kamala Harris." – Steve Bannon
What Bannon saw at Danbury is a microcosm of what's happening in the nation at large, he said – i.e., people waking up to the fact that the system is "broken and rigged against the working class."
In that realization, Bannon sees an opportunity to move past the "politics of race," a devious Marxist ploy stoked especially during the tenures of Obama-Biden and Biden-Harris, to the "politics of money," granting greater economic opportunity for all Americans.
"If President Trump's grassroots forces combine ... you are going to see unbelievable numbers next Tuesday," he predicted.
"Wake up America before you have no America to wake up to." – online comment
Bannon cautioned, however, that Democrats are not going to give up power without a fight. "They cannot beat us at the ballot box," he warned, so they are going to do "everything humanly possible to nullify Trump's election and delegitimize his second term."
But, he concluded, "The working-class people who support Donald John Trump are not going to let that happen."
"Victory is at hand." – Steve Bannon
THREE YEARS AGO
On Oct. 20, 2021, the Democrat-run "Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol" voted to consider holding Bannon in contempt for refusing to testify before it.
The committee members voted unanimously to hold Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress:
Peter Aguilar (D-CA) – Yes
Liz Cheney (R-WY) – Yes
Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) – Yes
Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) – Yes
Elaine Luria (D-VA) – Yes
Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) – Yes
Jamie Raskin (D-MD) – Yes
Adam Schiff (D-CA) – Yes
Bennie Thompson (D-MS) – Yes
Committee Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, a RINO Republican who recently endorsed Kamala Harris, claimed: "[I]t appears that Mr. Bannon had substantial advanced knowledge of the plans for January 6th and likely had an important role in formulating those plans."
TWELVE YEARS AGO
In 2012, the House voted to hold Obama attorney general Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over his failure to turn over documents related to the "Fast and Furious" scandal.
The affair stemmed from a failed operation allowing illegal gun sales – nearly 2,000 firearms purchased for $1.5 million – to track sellers and purchasers believed to be connected to Mexican drug cartels. Two government employees were reportedly murdered by guns purchased in the operation.
Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department's inspector general under Obama, refused to prosecute Holder, and later cleared him of the charges.
NOW
Bannon is back, urging patriots – as a first step toward securing US independence from the clutches of the Communist Left – "to CRUSH the Dems at the ballot box next week."
His concern, however, is that "some people" are trying "to lean on the shovel," by saying that since "Trump is up by 3, 4, 5 in the polls," the work is already done.
"Maybe [Trump is up in the polls,] but that's theoretical right now," Bannon warned. "Reality is the electorate we bring on Nov. 5."
The onus is now on each and every American, he added, to get out and "get the vote."
