U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols on Thursday ordered the major conservative social media influencer Steve Bannon to report to prison by July 1. The former Breitbart news executive and White House aide has developed a passionate following on his War Room independent media platform following the contested presidential election of 2020.
Steve BannonNichols rejected Bannon’s request to stay his sentence while he seeks to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The judge also revoked Bannon's bail.
Bannon was convicted for contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the J6 protest.
A defiant Bannon addressed reporters outside the Washington courthouse after the judge’s order, saying “there’s nothing that can shut me up and nothing that will shut me up.”
“There’s not a prison built or a jail built that will ever shut me up,” he said.
“We’re going to win on November 5th in an amazing landslide,” he added.
In response to the judge's decision, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social:
“It is a Total and Complete American Tragedy that the Crooked Joe Biden Department of Injustice is so desperate to jail Steve Bannon, and every other Republican, for that matter, for not SUBMITTING to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, made up of all Democrats, and two CRAZED FORMER REPUBLICAN LUNATICS, Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, and Liz “Out of Her Mind” Cheney. It has been irrefutably proven that it was the Unselects who committed actual crimes when they deleted and destroyed all material evidence, in a pathetic attempt to protect Crazy Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats from the TRUTH — THAT I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. The unAmerican Weaponization of our Law Enforcement has reached levels of Illegality never thought possible before. INDICT THE UNSELECT J6 COMMITTEE FOR ILLEGALLY DELETING AND DESTROYING ALL OF THEIR “FINDINGS!” MAGA2024”
Here is the list of “Republicans” who voted to hold Bannon in contempt, which led to his prison sentence:
Adam Kinzinger
Anthony Gonzalez
John Katko
Nancy Mace
Jaime Herrera Beutler
Brian Fitzpatrick
Fred Upton
Peter Meijer
Liz Cheney
This is the Steve Bannon that will emerge from prison on November 1.
Get ready democrats. You messed with the wrong dude.
