“I am a political prisoner” –

Donald Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon arrived in prison this morning following the Supreme Court rejected his last-minute appeal to avoid prison for defying multiple subpoenas related to the House inquiry into the January 6 insurrection. Bannon livestreamed his trip to FCI Danbury, the minimum-security prison in Connecticut where he will serve his four-month sentence, on his podcast War Room and Rumble. “I have no regrets and I’m proud of what I’ve done,” Bannon, a longtime Trump ally, told a group of reporters and supporters before turning himself in. “The J6 Committee was completely illegitimate,” he reiterated.

Yesterday in an interview with American TV ABC he said he considered himself a “political prisoner. Prison will not change me. It will not suppress my voice. My voice will not be suppressed when I am there”. “If it took me going to prison to finally get the House moving, to start delegitimizing the illegitimate J6 committee, then, hey, guess what, my time in prison was worth it. I am a political prisoner of Nancy Pelosi. I am a political prisoner of Merrick Garland, I am a political prisoner of Joe Biden and his corrupt establishment”, the rest of the words of the far-right guru shortly before turning himself in to the Connecticut prison where he will serve the 4 months in prison to which he was sentenced for contempt of Congress.
