Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Donald Trump, will be released from prison on Tuesday.
The timing puts him back in front of the media exactly one week before Election Day – and he’s already called his first press conference, which will take place just hours after his scheduled release.
On Tuesday, Bannon will have served his four-month prison term, which came with a $6,500 fine.
He was sentenced on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
“If it took me going to prison to finally get the House to start to move, to start to delegitimize the illegitimate J6 committee, then, hey, guess what, my going to prison is worth it,” he said at the time.
Wow Steve! If 4 months in prison got you something you wanted, imagine how much good you could do for the nation by going to prison for life!
Steve Bannon weaponizing weak men and video game incels for fascism is such a wild story I can’t believe it even happened.
All roads lead back to gamergate. It’s really fucked up.
Also, phrasing it as “weak men” makes you sound like you’re a bit on their side. You’re using their qualitative language. “Lonely men” might work better.
Nah, selling out your country because you can’t get a date and video games aren’t sexy is weak behaviour by weak minded people and I’m not going to pretend it isn’t.
Ok, fair enough. I’m conceptualizing these people as they were before they are taken advantage of.
The internet was a mistake.
He’s just bad at it. The best keep doing it and avoid sentencing for 37 counts of felonies. Thankfully the “system” is biased against them and they got immediate prison terms.
Is he? I just feel like four months for attempting to overthrow the US government violently is low.
“If it took me going to prison to finally get the House to start to move, to start to delegitimize the illegitimate J6 committee, then, hey, guess what, my going to prison is worth it,” he said at the time.
No Steve, you just aren’t on the important-enough-to-protect-from-subpoena-laws list unlike Jordan.
I am sure he has learned his lesson and will be on his best behavior. /s
No one cares what this racist, broken down alcoholic fuck has to say, except people who are already racist broken down fucks themselves.
