“Steve Bannon is taking his show on the road. Convicted by a federal jury in 2022 for contempt of Congress, the right-wing agitator is set to spend four months in a Connecticut penitentiary starting July 1,” Time reports.
“It’s the latest act in the iconoclastic performance of Donald Trump’s longtime adviser and confidant, one that parallels the legal woes of his old boss and the hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters serving prison time. Bannon, who resisted multiple chances to comply with a Congressional subpoena and avoid incarceration, seems to relish the role he has cast himself in.”
Said Bannon: “I don’t fear this at all. I’m a political prisoner.”
“For now, he’s confining himself to his multi-million dollar Capitol Hill home, which serves as the headquarters of his podcast, War Room.“
