Steve Bannon unleashes before surrendering for jail sentence: ‘My voice is going to be heard every day’
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon reported to prison on Monday for his four-month sentence for his contempt of Congress conviction, but he gave defiant remarks before surrendering himself to authorities.
Bannon told supporters and the press before heading to federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, that his voice will be heard during his prison sentence, arguing the movement he is a part of will continue even while he is away.
“I have a First Amendment right. I have first a First Amendment right to have my voice heard. And my voice is going to be heard every day, and more importantly, their voices are going to be heard,” Bannon said.
“You don’t need my voice. We’re a populist movement. We’re a populist movement. When I say, ‘Next man up,’ it’s not just our other hosts. It’s just not congressmen [Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)] and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and all the people that support the show. It’s all these people,” he added.
The host of the podcast War Room also stated that he is “proud” to report to prison if it means standing up to Attorney General Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
“I am proud to go to prison. And this is what it takes to stand up to tyranny. This way, it takes a stand up to the Garland corrupt criminal DOJ. This is what it takes to stand up to Nancy Pelosi. This is what it takes to stand up to Joe Biden — to Joe Biden,” Bannon said. “I’m proud to do it.”
He also vowed that the enemies of the “MAGA Movement,” referring to Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again,” would be unable to stop them, no matter what they may try.

Bannon had attempted to delay his prison sentence as he appeals his conviction, but he was denied by the multiple courts, including the Supreme Court.
He will be in prison until just before the November election. Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro was also convicted of contempt of Congress charges after defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 committee, but Navarro reported to prison for his four-month sentence in March.
