The political persecution of MAGA Conservatives, like Steve Bannon, has become an agitated situation ahead of what polls show to be a shattering humiliation for the Democrat Party in the 2022 mid-terms.
Bannon is on the frontlines directing Americans to defend the American Republic with powerful activism against the Democrats. He is obviously being targeted by an out-of-control administrative state- who do not want to see a loss of its political power.
Armed police were called to Steve Bannon’s home on Thursday evening for the second time over another hoax. It happened minutes before Joe Biden attacked opponents for ‘political violence’ and after he accused ‘MAGA Republicans’ of ‘semi-fascism.’
Bannon, a top political strategist and host of the influential War Room program, is mainly being hounded. However, he is not running away from heat. Instead, Bannon, a Navy veteran, is doubling down to show his defiance to what he calls the ‘illegitimate regime of Joe Biden.’
On Thursday, Bannon’s home was swatted for the second time with a massive presence of first responders, designed no doubt to harass Bannon’s neighbors and anyone who was in the home at the time. His response to the media about the event was sobering.
The Daily Mail reported on what Bannon’s said, and he took the opportunity to aim directly back at Democrats and especially Joe Biden, for elevating dangerous rhetoric that could potentially trigger civil uprisings.
“EXCLUSIVE – ‘They’ll have to kill me first’: Steve Bannon tears into Biden for ‘stirring up violence against his opponents’ with recent speeches and rhetoric that could get him ‘assassinated’ after his DC home was SWATTED,” the Daily Mail reported Friday.
On Friday, Bannon accused the White House of stirring up hatred, and he claimed the rhetoric was designed to unleash unstable forces on critics on his War Room program when talking about the details of the swatting.
“This is where law enforcement is armed there. Like MTG said, these are attempted assassinations. I couldn’t care less. We are ending your presidency.
If you think you are going to intimidate me. You can bring it every day. This comes from the White House, and we have not yet begun to fight.
You do not understand the caliber of the people you are dealing with,” Bannon said – in the direction of the White House on Friday afternoon to the War Room Posse.
“These displays are a primal scream from a dying regime,” Bannon said about the hoax and pressure being used against him.
The Georgia home of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was last week ‘swatted’ as well, and she spoke with Bannon about her experiences.
The Daily Mail reported in more detail about story:
“Steve Bannon on Friday accused the White House of trying to stir up leftwing extremists in an effort to have opponents killed after armed police descended on his Washington, D.C., home in an apparent ‘swatting.’
He was not home at the time but blamed President Joe Biden and his administration for whipping up hatred against Donald Trump and his allies.

This is 100 percent triggered by the White House: the White House spokeswoman earlier that day, Biden’s announcements over the last couple of days,’ he said.
‘The White House is trying to use this type of violence. They’re stirring up the unstable people on the far left to do this.’
It is the second time his home has been swatted.
In July, a caller told police that there had been a shooting at the address before reportedly threatening to take his own life if officers approached the house.
When police arrived, they quickly determined it was a prank call.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene – another close ally of Trump – was the target last week when heavily armed police were called to her Georgia home.
Far from being a prank, the arrival of heavily armed police primed for a violent confrontation can be used as a form of harassment – and has sometimes ended in fatal shootings.
‘The calls are very specific and the calls are to trigger the police to use deadly force,’ said Bannon, who has taken his radio show on the road, visiting swing districts and states ahead of November’s midterm elections.
His claims come as Biden has taken a tougher line on his political opponents.
On Thursday night, he denounced Trump and his supporters in the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement as a threat to American democracy.
He said he was a target because he and his War Room show had been the first to develop grassroots strategies for taking control of election precincts with an army of workers ready to challenge election results and for targeting school board elections.
‘They understand our strategies are working and they’re trying to stop War Room,’ he said.
‘They’re trying to stop the show before November 8. They’ll do anything.’
He added that he had nothing but praise for the way police had reacted.
‘These people show up as they’re supposed to. Because they think they are coming into emergency situations,’ he said.
‘What’s happened to MTG and myself is they’re trying to get us assassinated, by using law enforcement.’
