Steve Bannon is back, folks, and if you thought four months in prison would tame him, you’ve clearly never met the man. Emerging from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, with more bravado than ever, Bannon appeared [1] on his show “War Room” Real America’s Voice today and declared that his stint as a “political prisoner” only fueled his fire.
Now, he’s laser-focused on a single mission: getting Donald Trump re-elected – into office – and staying there for four years.
He said, regardless of Nancy Pelosi sending him to federal prison, “This show has never been more powerful. The voices behind it have never been more powerful.”
A four-month sabbatical.
Most people think of prison as a time for reflection or rehabilitation, but for Bannon, it was more of a motivational retreat. He said, “The four months in federal prison not only didn’t break me, it empowered me. I am more energized and more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life.”
That’s right – while some might spend their time behind bars counting the days, Bannon was apparently strategizing for the next election.
Stay tuned for his press conference at 3 p.m. EST today.
