Bannon’s Out, and He’s Not Backing Down: “Dems are Going to Fight Dirty and MAGA Won’t be Silenced”

Steve Bannon is out of federal prison. Four months inside didn’t break him he said. In fact, it only made him louder, sharper, and angrier he explained to press in New York on Tuesday afternoon. Speaking to the media, Bannon made it clear: he believes the justice system is weaponized against him and the MAGA movement. He called out Vice President Kamala Harris, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Nancy Pelosi for what he sees as a concerted effort to silence him and shut down his “War Room” platform.

"They thought they’d shut me up. They thought they’d shut down MAGA. Look at me—I’m far from broken,” Bannon said.

Bannon didn’t hold back. He claims the Biden administration has failed working-class Americans and especially minority communities. He called Kamala Harris the "queen of mass incarcerations.” He says that, under her watch, there’s been no real reform in the prison system. According to Bannon, the First Step Act, a prison reform bill Trump signed into law, should’ve been a game-changer. Instead, he believes it’s been ignored. "Minorities, African-Americans, and Hispanics are still being locked up, rotting in prisons. The system’s broken. It’s rigged,” he argued.

His time in prison, he says, gave him insight into the lives of average Americans. "I was able to listen, observe, and learn,” he said, describing how he got to know young African-American and Hispanic men inside. Bannon feels their struggles reflect what MAGA stands for—fighting for the forgotten, for those let down by both political parties. He’s convinced this fight is bigger than him. He’s ready to keep amplifying their voices.

Bannon believes that the left, especially people like Kamala Harris, is out of touch with these communities. He’s adamant they "know the con,” calling the administration’s immigration policies a scam. According to him, the current border policy is designed to drive down wages, particularly for low-skill workers. He pointed to the Federal Reserve’s goals to control "labor inflation” by flooding the market with unskilled labor. "It’s hurting Americans, especially minorities,” Bannon warned.

His War Room platform, which broadcasts the WarRoom program live daily, continues to be a rallying point for Trump supporters. Bannon sees it as crucial for the movement, saying it’s "the voice of grassroots MAGA.” He’s proud of its reach and openly challenges mainstream media who dismiss it. "We’re the largest platform out there. They thought prison would stop us. They were wrong,” he claimed.

With elections approaching, Bannon says MAGA is "on the cusp of the biggest political comeback” in history. He feels momentum is on their side. According to him, Americans are fed up with economic hardships, immigration issues, and the politics of identity. "People don’t buy into it anymore, especially working-class African-American and Hispanic men,” he said, adding that they’re rejecting what he calls "the politics of joy,” Kamala Harris’s campaign messaging. Bannon claims Harris’s message isn’t connecting. Instead, he believes she’s fallen back on attacks against Trump and his supporters.

But Bannon thinks the Democrats are ready to fight dirty. He pointed out that they recently hired Mark Elias, an election attorney known for aggressive tactics. To him, it’s a signal they’re ready to do "whatever it takes” to beat Trump. He warned, "They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they’ll try everything humanly possible to delegitimize Trump’s election.”

Despite prison, Bannon said he feels stronger than ever. He believes MAGA is still unstoppable. In his view, America’s working-class supporters are ready to take a stand, seeing through what he calls a rigged system. His parting words were defiant: "I’m more empowered today, in better shape than ever. They’re not going to silence us. This fight’s only just begun.”
