“You stole the 2020 election, you mocked, you ridiculed, you imprisoned people and you broke people’s lives, because you said this was stolen,” Bannon said during his broadcast. “All this fake stuff is being eliminated. Biden is being swept. Kamala Harris is being swept. MSNBC is being devastated. The Department of Justice is being swept. The FBI is being swept. You guys stink and now you are going to pay the price for trying to destroy this country.”
“MILITARY COURTS WAIT!” someone responded in X. “I want to see the criminal walking,” another wrote. “Military executions are coming,” a different post said. “The new Department of Justice must use armed raids against Democratic Deep State homes! Drag their asses to the street, just like they did to our people!!
