Former Trump administration chief strategist Steve Bannon had to make another court appearance today in the matter of the two contempt of Congress charges that were filed against him by the Justice Department for his refusal to obey a lawful subpoena from the January 6 House Select Committee.
Bannon was trying to get a judge to dismiss those contempt charges, and he spoke with reporters while he was preparing to enter the court, telling them:
“We believe in free and fair and transparent elections! And we’re winning everywhere! This is going to be a massive blowout like 1932. You’re witnessing, right now, a political realignment like 1932. And we will govern for 100 years after we win 100 seats.”
A reporter asked:
“Do you want to govern as a one-party kind of total government? Do you want to destroy the Democratic Party?”
Bannon replied:
“Well, I believe that we will destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution. A populist uprising of Hispanics, African-Americans and working-class people is before us!”
Yeah, sure thing, traitor.
But the best part of Bannon’s impromptu presser was the man who stood behind him holding a sign that read “FAILED COUP.”
Bannon is under the delusion that he’s still got power and relevance. He doesn’t, and when he’s found guilty and sentenced to federal prison, he’ll have even less.
