'I am confused': Steve Bannon claims indoor inauguration is plot to nullify Trump

MAGA activist Steve Bannon argued that Donald Trump's indoor inaugural ceremony was a plot to nullify his second presidency.

"Right there, you see an empty west side of the Capitol, where normally, in about 90 minutes, President Trump will be walking out to start the ceremony," Bannon complained during his Monday War Room broadcast. "I mean, why are they doing it in the Capitol today?"

"And here today, guys, I am confused," he continued. "We had 250,000 tickets, okay?

"You had, I think, what, 10,000 people seated, of people that work on the campaign that were close to President Trump. Then we had 240,000 that was going to go back."

"There was expected at least a crowded day of a million people... Right here, I'll tell you, it's low 20s, but in the sun, it feels like it's 40 degrees, right?"

Bannon presented a theory about why Trump's inauguration was moved indoors — even though the president-elect had reportedly requested the move.

"I don't understand why this is empty, and I think it sets a tone," Bannon opined. "This city is hostile to President Trump."

"But understand, this is like taking Berlin in 1945," he added. "Yes, they signed the surrender documents, and yes, they were compliant to a degree, but underneath they weren't."

"I think this is the epitome of what we're seeing today."

Bannon suggested the indoor ceremony was part of a "nullification project," while co-host Dave Brat argued: "There are no conspiracies, but there are no coincidences."
