Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon said the ex-president is actually a “moderate” who will be succeeded by far more extreme MAGA disciples.
Bannon delivered his ominous threat on the final episode of Showtime’s political series “The Circus.” He painted a scary portrait of another Trump administration should the Republican front-runner win in 2024.
Bannon called right-wing activist Mike Davis’ suggestions of enacting mass deportations, detaining kids and pardoning every Jan. 6 defendant “fantastic.”
The conversation with “The Circus” host John Heilemann and former Republican strategist Tim Miller then delved deep into Bannon’s denial of Joe Biden’s victory in 2020. Bannon is convinced that Trump’s campaign ― that the vote was stolen from him ― is not only the right strategy but is the basic tenet of the MAGA movement.
All those who don’t believe, don’t belong, Bannon said.
Steve Bannon on the finale of Showtime’s ‘The Circus’: “President Trump is a moderate in our movement. You are going to pine in future years that you wished Donald Trump was around.”
