SITREP: Steve Bannon on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

On Friday’s WarRoom, Steve Bannon framed Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a political execution in America’s ongoing war with radical leftists. He praised Kirk as a Christian patriot whose leadership reshaped the conservative movement and declared his death a call to arms. Unity and compromise are off the table—Bannon insists only decisive victory and the ruthless use of state power can preserve the Republic.

Situation:

Charlie Kirk, portrayed by Bannon as a "martyr” akin to the Founding Fathers, was targeted because of his unapologetic defense of faith, truth, and America.

Bannon argues law enforcement failed to act preventively despite warning signs, then staged a performative show of force after the fact.

He condemned establishment Republicans and "woke” leaders for pushing hollow unity rhetoric, calling them complicit in national decline.

Assessment:

The left, including Antifa and their enablers in media, politics, and finance, are waging open war. Bannon says their networks must be dismantled now.

Law enforcement’s current posture is politically correct, reactive, and self-congratulatory—leaving citizens unprotected.

Kirk’s death symbolizes what happens when weak leadership bows to the left and fails to secure America’s future.

Course of Action (COA):

Designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
Target financing: seize bank accounts, expose donor networks, and prosecute under RICO.
Deploy federal power: declare martial law in hotspots like Portland, execute raids, and roll up operatives.
Purge weakness: reject GOP leaders pushing "unity”; replace them with fighters who will wield power without apology.
Honor Kirk: Finish his mission—protect youth, faith, and America by dismantling the deep state and crushing radical networks.

Endstate:
Victory over leftist extremism, the preservation of the Republic, and fulfillment of the mission Kirk gave his life for. Mourning must be matched with decisive action, or his sacrifice will be in vain.

Bannon insisted that Kirk’s martyrdom must ignite a decisive counter-campaign. He laid out specific actions: designate Antifa as a terrorist group, trace and cut off their funding, prosecute donor networks under RICO statutes, and deploy federal power to roll up their cells. Anything less would mean betraying the mission to which Kirk dedicated his life.

The message was unmistakable: Bannon sees Kirk’s death as both a tragedy and a catalyst. The battlefield is set, and only aggressive, coordinated action will prevent more bloodshed.
