Video emerges of Bannon ally worrying women may sit in bathroom urinals at DNC
A newly surfaced video from last week's Democratic National Convention in Chicago flagged by Intercept reporter Jacqueline Sweet shows a host with the far-right channel Real America's Voice speculating that women who entered the convention's gender-neutral bathrooms may end up befuddled by the urinals.
"It makes me wonder, if they switched out all the urinals, or all the women who have never seen a urinal are sitting in them," said Ben Bergquam, who is a frequent guest on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast.
"Might have to go in and find out," he added with a laugh at the apparent thought of checking in on whether women squat in public over urinals on full display.

The footage of Bergquam was posted in response to another story detailed by convention attendee Samantha Sheehan, who wrote: "At the DNC I saw a man in a hat and sunglasses in the all gender restroom not doing any business take his phone out. Suspecting him of filming, in violation of common decency and the law, I took pictures outside the exit and reported it."
The person she reported turned out to be Mike Lindell, she said. The far-right election conspiracy theorist and CEO of MyPillow sneaked into the event with his trademark mustache shaven off and proceeded to get into several arguments.
Bergquam was also sent to cover former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan earlier this year, which led to a tense interaction between himself and MSNBC anchor Joy Reid, which culminated in him making fun of Reid's hair and Reid calling him a "f--king idiot."
