BREAKING: Bannon holds press conference slamming 'queen of mass incarcerations' Kamala Harris for abandoning minority men in federal prisons

Following his release in the morning, Steve Bannon held a press conference in New York City speaking about his experience at a Connecticut federal prison where he served a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. "For standing up for my political beliefs against an illegitimate committee in the House that did not have a ranking member and did not have minority counsel, I went to a federal prison for four months," Bannon said. 

Bannon said that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, and Attorney General Merrick Garland wanted to "shut down the war room and not have that as a voice for the grassroots movement of MAGA in this country" and "break me."

"Well, I think you can see today, I’m far from broken. I’ve been empowered by my four months at Danbury federal prison," Bannon said, adding that he was empowered "because I was able to listen to and observe and to learn from working-class minorities, young African American men and Hispanic men, and yes, Puerto Rican men about what their lives" are like and about the "queen of mass incarcerations" Kamala Harris.

Bannon said that Trump signed into law "the most significant prison reform bill ever," the First Step Act, and six years after the bill was signed, "nothing has been done" despite Biden promising to "dramatically decrease the number of incarcerations in federal prisons."

"You have particularly minorities, African Americans and Hispanic men and their families being broken, rotting in federal prisons when the First Step Act is very clear what’s supposed to happen and all they do is get spun and spun and spun. The system is broken."

Bannon said of Harris, "she is failing to connect with minority men, Hispanic and African American men," later adding that "working-class people don’t buy" the messaging that Trump and his supporters are "fascists."

Bannon spoke of his time teaching civics and government in Danbury, which had around 100 students in three classes, "the majority of which, particularly the later classes, were minority men."

He said that these students "came to this with a new awakening, and that is the awakening the American people are going through. The system is not only broken, the system is rigged against the working class of this nation."

Bannon later said that he is "more empowered today, more focused today, sharper today, in better shape today than I’ve ever been in my entire life. So Nancy Pelosi, suck on that."
