Twenty minutes in, he complimented himself for having “found his rhythm” after equating the Harris campaign to fascists, warning his listeners about Democrats “stealing the election” and calling himself a “political prisoner.” His return to the podcast kicked off with an attempt to portray the mainstream media as unfair, showing a montage of anti-Trump clips from MSNBC, a New York Times headline previewing Bannon’s release, before cutting to a livestream of a long-haired Bannon speaking into the microphone. He said these clips showed “radicals” who have “no intention of giving up power.” Steve Bannon returns to his ‘War Room’ podcast hours after his release from federal prison on Tuesday. Bannon also used the press conference to slam Harris for calling Trump a “fascist” — despite calling her and her supporters that exact term hours earlier: “This rhetoric is dangerous.”
