We're Here For The Steve Bannon Meltdown
Conservative podcast host Steve Bannon exploded with anger Monday after a New York judge threatened former President Donald Trump with jail.
Bannon unleashed a rant after Justice Juan Merchan fined Trump $1,000 for each of four violations of a gag order. The judge previously fined Trump for nine other violations. During the Monday hearing, Merchan also said jail could be a future sanction.
"It's all this to smear Trump," Bannon opined. "The only thing you've seen in the narrative in the courtroom in the last couple weeks is Trump's a scumbag — Trump's a scumbag, and it's put out and reinforced time and time again on MSNBC and CNN."
"They threatened President Trump!" he exclaimed. "They threatened President Trump with jail. They threatened President Trump with jail because of this unconstitutional gag order. And my question is why are we not going on offense?"
The host referred to an Access Hollywood tape where Trump said he could sexually assault women because he was famous.
"Nobody cares about locker room talk," Bannon bellowed. "Why don't we go on offense and bring the people that Bill Clinton raped and Bill Clinton sexually molested?"
