Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is set to be released from federal prison after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. His co-host on the War Room podcast, Natalie Winters, suggested that Bannon will seek “retribution” against his political opponents upon his release. Winters referred to Bannon as one of the most important patriots in American history, comparing him to George Washington and Paul Revere. She predicted that Bannon would call for revenge on the day of his release, just one week before the upcoming presidential election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
While in prison, Bannon has been teaching civics classes to fellow inmates and reportedly believes that all you need to know can be learned from watching “The Godfather” movies. He recently suggested that an “October surprise” would be headed toward Harris due to the failure of the Bureau of Prisons to fully implement the First Step Act, which allows nonviolent federal offenders to reduce their sentences through rehabilitation programs and good time credits. Bannon argued that Black and Hispanic voters in swing states will turn against Harris for not prioritizing mass deportations of illegal alien criminals.
Despite efforts by allies to secure an early release for Bannon based on good time credits, he completed his four-month sentence and is scheduled to be released on Tuesday. George Santos, an expelled GOP Congressman facing his own potential prison sentence, predicted that Bannon would emerge from prison looking “skinny and fit.” Bannon has been vocal about his beliefs on various political issues during his time in prison, including his prediction of Harris facing backlash from Black and Hispanic voters in the upcoming election due to her handling of criminal justice reform and immigration policies. His release is anticipated to bring renewed energy to the conservative movement.
As a former adviser to President Trump and a key figure in the conservative movement, Bannon’s return to the public sphere following his release is expected to have a significant impact on the political landscape. His co-host on the War Room podcast expressed confidence that Bannon would play a crucial role in seeking retribution against his adversaries and advancing the conservative agenda. With only days remaining before the presidential election and a renewed sense of urgency among conservative supporters, Bannon’s comeback is likely to be met with both anticipation and apprehension by political observers.
