The liberty principle for this Freedom Friday is the problem with the U.S. Government taking political prisoners. Steve Bannon, a political pundit and former White House chief strategist for President Donald Trump, was convicted for contempt of Congress -- disrespecting the January 6th Committee by refusing to comply with a subpoena from the committee. He served four months in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut.
Bannon was released from prison on Tuesday morning and was in the “War Room” on Real America’s Voice a few hours later. He and his attorneys hosted a press conference Tuesday afternoon in New York City. Bradley Devlin wrote the following in his article published at The Daily Signal.
“Nancy Pelosi sent me to a federal prison,”
Bannon said on Tuesday morning’s livestream. “She sent me to a federal prison
as a political prisoner to do two things: To make sure that she tried to tamp
down the power of this show … and also to break me.”
Bannon had a message to the former speaker
of the House: “Nancy Pelosi, take out your No. 2 pencil and write this down:
This show has never been more powerful, the voices behind it have never been
more powerful, the audience has never been more powerful, and we’re going to
deliver a knockout blow to your progressive insanity on 5 November.” …
At Bannon’s press conference in New York
on Tuesday afternoon, Bannon said he learned a lot from his fellow inmates,
which he described as mostly working-class black and Hispanic men. In particular,
he said that these men see Vice President Kamal Harris as someone who has
incarcerated minority populations en masse.
“The system of the Justice Department is
broken,” Bannon said, adding that the DOJ and the federal government writ large
have been ‘weaponized’ by the Left against a ‘conservative grassroots movement.’”
