Steve Bannon ignited the Georgia GOP base, calling to stand firm behind President Donald Trump. Bannon framed his 2024 imprisonment for contempt of Congress as a political badge of honor and reminded Republicans that the 2024 fight will demand "intensity, urgency, and tenacity” — with Georgia once again at the heart of the MAGA movement.

BANNON: God has chosen you to live in a time when the singularity is going to happen.

Bannon addressed Georgia Republicans with a message about his prison time: his sentence wasn’t the end of the fight — it was just proof of how real it has become.
"I spent four months in a federal prison,” Bannon said flatly. "Okay. Navarro spent four months in a camp.” But rather than seek pity, he wore it like a medal: "I’m proud of what we’ve done.”
Bannon’s message was unflinching: the political persecution of MAGA leaders, including Trump and his allies, is proof that the movement threatens the system — and that’s precisely why it must press on.
Georgia: Ground Zero for MAGA Redemption
Bannon repeatedly pointed to Georgia as the epicenter of the 2020 "steal” — and the launching pad for Trump’s 2024 comeback.
"They stole it right here in Georgia,” he declared. "They stole it right out from under here.”
That narrative, heavily embraced by the Georgia GOP base, has transformed the state into what Bannon calls a "spiritual battleground” for MAGA. And Trump, he reminded the crowd, never forgot.
"I want to talk about that steal in 2020, right? This is where I want to come,” Bannon quoted Trump saying.
By his telling, Georgia Republicans never wavered — not when Trump was abandoned by conservative media, not during the legal witch hunts, and not when others in the GOP establishment stepped away.
"Remember those dark days of January and February and March and April and May of 2021?” he said. "Everybody abandoned him — except for you.”
The Mugshot Heard ‘Round the World
Perhaps the emotional apex of the speech came as Bannon recalled Trump’s mugshot in Fulton County.
"They took a mug shot… That thing went global. The concentration, the leadership, the manliness… That is an alpha male looking right through that camera to the world.”
To Bannon, the image wasn’t humiliation — it was power. It told the world Trump was unfazed and ready to return. Bannon declared:
"He’s telling them, ‘I’m gonna be the next president of the United States right here in Georgia.’”
Victory in 2024: A Comeback Forged by the Base
Celebrating Trump’s declared 2024 win, Bannon credited the grassroots — not the GOP elite.
"You pulled together… You did that. Your agency… You won by two point two percent.”
Calling it "one of the greatest comebacks ever,” Bannon said it was four years of precinct organizing, MAGA resolve, and spiritual endurance that reversed the 2022 setbacks.
Trump as a Historic Figure, MAGA as a Movement
Bannon compared Trump to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, calling him the only modern leader whose destiny is interwoven with the fate of the nation.
"Never in American history has that happened… He consciously made that decision. I am coming back and I’m going to win.”
He described MAGA not just as a movement, but as "the most powerful modern political movement in modern American history.”
Do the Time, Stay in the Fight
Bannon’s speech wasn’t just a personal vindication — it was a rallying cry for a movement that sees itself under siege. His message was clear: he went to prison for the cause, and now it’s the grassroots’ turn to stand tall and deliver for Trump in 2024.
"The hardest days for our movement, the hardest days for President Trump are all in front of us,” he warned. "But we’re ready. Because we never back down.”
