Christian Nationalist and MAGA ring leader Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Trump for his "build the wall" scam to bilk millions of dollars from Trump supporters, laced into the RNC and McCarthy after the passing of the debt ceiling bill.

In this segment from his "Sedition Podcast" network, Bannon had his eyes squarely on all the MAGA bucks available.

"We're not gonna let bad, stupid, evil people like McCarthy and that group of hacks around him sell this nation out on your money," Bannon yelled. "if you give a penny to the RNC -- if you give a penny to any these guys you're a fool right now."

"Hold your money and use your leverage until we break them," he exclaimed.

After Trump virtually dismissed all federal charges for Bannon, he is still under indictment in New York.

Bannon’s trial in the “We Build the Wall” case will start May 27, 2024, right after the former president is scheduled to stand trial in the same Manhattan courtroom in an unrelated criminal case.

Bannon, 69, pleaded not guilty last September following his indictment on state money laundering, conspiracy, fraud and other charges. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg took up the case after Bannon’s federal prosecution was cut short by a Trump pardon. Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, not state offenses.

Notice how Bannon always focuses on money?

I expect a new grift soon, some sort of anti-GOP MAGA PAC to swallow up as much donor money as possible for Bannon.

PT Barnum's "There's a sucker born every minute" phrase is as valid today as it was back then.
