“I’ll tell you right, as God as my witness, if we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison,” Bannon told the crowd Wednesday at an awards event hosted by the Conservative Partnership Academy. This group offers training and certifications to aspiring right-wing ideologues working in politics and government.
“They’re not gonna stop,” Bannon said of Democrats and progressives aligned against Trump’s authoritarian push and Republican economic policies that have focused on lavishing ever-larger tax cuts for corporations and the rich while gutting government programs, including cuts to Medicaid, food assistance for the poor, devastating environmental policies, and dismantling of healthcare subsidies leading to a surge in monthly premiums for millions of families.
It’s worth pointing out that he’s not saying they are doing things wrong that are deserving of prison. Rather that Democrats are so radical they will send innocent republicans to prison.
Much the same way Trump is actively doing now with ICE and other DOJ decisions.
… or even worse than that, suggesting that what they are doing is not wrong but that they would be punished for their actions if someone else came into power that didn’t support them.
He’s also definitely trying to muddy the waters and make it seem like any prosecutions of the crimes committed during this administration are inherently political. Gotta get the messaging out early.
Also, if republicans do anything that seems like an insurrection, it is in defense of tyranny, not the other way around.
You mean like storming the Capitol in 2021?
Or sending national guard into cities to “monitor” elections.
Did I hear “Projection!” ? Because that sure sounds like their usual behaviour.
I’m okay with sending innocent Republicans to prison.
Name 3 innocent Republicans
If you can find any.
Noooo! There’s enough guilty republicans already.
Well, yeah, when you don’t have a moral compass there isn’t a right or wrong, only how people act against you when you do something to them.
