Steve Bannon to host eclipse prayer service to stop 'satanic forces that come through'

Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon revealed Monday that he would host Christian prayer services on his social media channels to stop "satanic forces that come through" during an eclipse.

Bannon announced the prayer event on his War Room podcast.

"Bishop Strickland is going to say a mass simultaneous with the, with the, what is it? The eclipse today," the podcast host said. "And we are going to stream that on both our Gettr and our Rumble."

"This is about having, making sure there's no satanic forces that come through," he added. "I think it's at, I think it's going to start at three because I think the thing goes down at 3:20 or something, Eastern Daylight Time."

Bannon's is the latest right-wing voice to air theories that the eclipse is an ominous religious event.

Marjorie Taylor Greene last week said Monday's event, coming just four days after the Northeast of the U.S. was hit by an extremely rare earthquake, was a sign of God's displeasure. She called on Americans to repent.

Other religious groups have voiced their belief that the eclipse was the Rapture, while some have said it signals Christ's second coming.
