On Tuesday afternoon, Steve Bannon held a press conference to address the media after his release from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury. The 70-year-old former aide to Donald Trump was incarcerated for four months for defying a subpoena in a congressional investigation into the January 6 Capitol riot. However, Bannon seemed unfazed by his time in prison, stating that he felt "empowered" and ready to get back in the political game.
In his press conference, Bannon made it clear that he was not going to let his time behind bars slow him down. He immediately announced that he would be spending the remaining week until the US election helping the Republican candidate win. "I'm finally out of being a political prisoner. I think you can see today I'm far from broken," Bannon confidently stated in New York City.
Bannon went on to explain that his time in prison was actually empowering because of the people he met and the conversations he had. He spoke about listening, observing, and learning from working-class minorities, specifically young African American, Hispanic, and Puerto Rican men. According to Bannon, they shared their thoughts on Trump's opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their strong opposition to incarcerations under her and the Biden administration.
Returning to his popular War Room podcast, Bannon also accused former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of trying to silence him by sending him to jail. "Nancy Pelosi thought a federal prison was going to break me. Well, it empowered me," he boldly stated. "I am more empowered, focused, and in better shape today than I've ever been in my entire life. So Nancy Pelosi, suck on that."
Bannon's conviction and subsequent prison sentence were a result of his refusal to sit for a deposition and provide documents to the House committee investigating the 2021 insurrection. However, he remained steadfast in his belief that the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump and urged him to do exactly what he did if the vote totals in this year's election turn out similar to four years ago.
"He should stand up and say: 'Hey, I've won this. And we have teams right now that are going to make sure that this thing is not going to be stolen,'" Bannon declared. He then went on to vow that he would do everything in his power to return Trump to the White House. "We're going to secure this win. And Donald John Trump is going to serve his second term," he confidently stated. "And on the 20th of January at high noon, he's going to put his hand on his family's King James Bible, take the Oath, and we're going to roll hard."
As the press conference came to an end, Bannon walked away from the podium holding a bouquet of red roses gifted to him by a woman in the audience. With a renewed sense of determination and empowerment, Bannon seemed ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in his quest to help Trump win the 2024 election.
