With former President Donald Trump declared the victor of the 2024 election, the more than 70 million Americans who had voted for him were eager for inauguration day and a path forward. Included among them was the former White House chief strategist who also wanted a resolution on the 2020 election as he asserted the Department of Justice and FBI would be among those who were “gonna pay the price.”

During election coverage on Real America’s Voice, the host of “War Room” didn’t mince words when he charged, “You stole the 2020 election. You’ve mocked and ridiculed, and put people in prison and broken people’s lives ’cause you said this thing was stolen.”

“This entire phony thing is gettin’ swept out. Biden’s gettin’ swept out. Kamala Harris is gettin’ swept out. MSNBC’s gettin’ swept out. The Justice Department’s gettin’ swept out. The FBI is gettin’ swept out. You people suck, okay?!” Bannon continued. “And now you’re gonna pay the price for trying to destroy this country.”

“And I’m gonna tell you, we’re gonna get to the bottom of where are the 600,000 votes,” said Bannon, only days following his release from prison after serving a four-month sentence for a contempt of Congress conviction. “You manufactured them to steal this election from President Trump in 2020. And think where this country would be if we hadn’t gone through the last four years of your madness, okay? You don’t deserve any respect, you don’t deserve any empathy and you don’t deserve any pity.”

Contrasting his interests with how he expected the president-elect might begin his second term in the White House, including telling Attorney General Merrick Garland and Special Counsel Jack Smith to “lawyer up,” the commentator expressed, “And if anybody gives it to you, it’s Donald J. Trump, because he’s got a big heart and he’s a good man; a good man that you’re still gonna try to put in prison on the 26th of this month. This is how much you people suck. Okay? You’ve tried to destroy his business…and he came back.”

“He came back in the greatest show of political courage, I think, in world history. Like, Cincinnatus coming back from the plow. He’s the American Cincinnatus,” said Bannon, drawing a parallel to the Roman general typically reserved for General George Washington before he was chosen to be the first president. “And what he has done is a profile in courage.”

“We’ve had his back. But I gotta tell you, he may be empathetic, he may have a kind heart, he may be a good man — but we’re not. Okay? And you deserve, as Natalie Winters says, not retribution — justice,” he insisted. “But you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we’re prepared to give it to you.”

Reactions on social media welcomed the prospect of accountability.
