Far-right podcaster and former top presidential advisor Steve Bannon<\/a> told a crowd of aspiring conservative staffers on Capitol Hill this week that the job of Republicans<\/a> between now and the midterm election next year is to seize complete control of government institutions and turn as many of President Donald Trump\u2019s executive orders as possible into law as a way to avoid politic defeat in the coming years and, ultimately, keep MAGA loyalists from being tried and sent to jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell you right, as God as my witness, if we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison,\u201d Bannon told the crowd Wednesday at an awards event hosted by the Conservative Partnership Academy. This group offers training and certifications to aspiring right-wing<\/a> ideologues working in politics and government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bannon, who has already served time in prison for refusing to submit to a congressional subpoena related to his role as a top aide to Trump during his first term, included himself among those who might be targeted if Republicans lost power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his remarks, Bannon said Tuesday\u2019s election results in\u00a0New York<\/a>\u00a0City,\u00a0Virginia<\/a>,\u00a0New Jersey<\/a>, and elsewhere\u2014where Democrats swept the GOP\u2014should be seen as a warning to Trump\u2019s MAGA base, but called for an intensification of the agenda, not a retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
