Former Trump Administration strategist Steve Bannon publicly calls for the beheading of Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray on his podcast.
I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I’d put the heads on pikes, right, I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you’re gone – time to stop playing games.
Steve Bannon
His statements come after Donald Trump has hinted at firing Fauci and Wray if he wins re-election.
Trump wants Fauci out of the picture so that the primary doctor on television is someone who will repeat his anti-science lies about COVID-19. Trump wants Wray fired for not providing a last minute boost to his campaign the way FBI Director James Comey did in 2016.
As a result, Twitter “permanently suspends” Bannon’s account, YouTube and Spotify remove that episode of his podcast, and his lawyers ask to withdraw from his fraud / money laundering case.
