Steve Bannon complains about 'judicial coup' upending Trump's 'virtually unlimited power'

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon complained this week that a "judicial coup" was challenging President Donald Trump's "virtually unlimited power."

During his Thursday War Room program, Bannon noted that Republicans were moving to impeach U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg after he temporarily stopped Trump from deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members with a little-used wartime law.

"They're saying Trump's a dictator," Bannon told his "posse" of viewers. "No, he's not. But as the President of the United States and the office of the President of the United States, he has sole authority over the executive branch. Full stop."

"He finally bangs the table and says, hey, I'm President of the United States," he continued. "I'm endowed with virtually unlimited power as President in the executive role, as Chief Executive Officer, the money and the people, as Commander-in-Chief."

"And you see this judge, which needs to be impeached, trying to get in the middle of sending back terrorist groups, terrorist criminal groups, and he's Chief Magistrate."

Bannon accused judges who block Trump of a "judicial coup."

"How did you foresee where this fight was when some of your colleagues were kind of looking the other way and didn't want to address what's happening now, and it's only going to get worse, because now this is a judicial coup?" he asked Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ). "This is a judicial coup d'etat, is what is happening, and that's why it has to be fought to the bitter end."

For his part, Crane said he was pushing to impeach Boasberg and other judges in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"I don't care at the end of the day which way we do this, Steve, but the bottom line is, and you've talked about it for a couple weeks now, this will not stop until we actually take action and show these judges that they are not more powerful than the president of the United States," he opined.
