Steve Bannon: Non-Christian nationalists 'all have to be purged' in Trump's second term
Real America's Voice/screen grab

Right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon called for a purging of people who are not Christian nationalists if Donald Trump wins a second term as president.

On his Monday War Room broadcast, Bannon celebrated author Tim Alberta's warnings about Christian nationalism on MSNBC.

"When you begin to think of America as almost this covenant nation, that God has ordained us, God has blessed us, and you are fighting for God by fighting for America, that is Christian nationalism, and that is what has infected much of the church today," Alberta told the hosts of Morning Joe.

"Sign me up," Bannon reacted. "I mean, I think this is the best recruiting pitch I've heard."

Bannon's guest, My Pillow CEO and election denier Mike Lindell, called Alberta's MSNBC appearance "amazing."

"A nation had turned its back on God, and God's given us grace right now for such a time as this for the greatest revival in history," Lindell said.

Bannon compared Trump to Roman dictator Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus.

"Trump's the American Cincinnatus has come back to fight all this," he remarked. "This is why they're trying to throw him in prison."

The War Room host vowed to play the clip of Alberta all day.

"He's saying the problem in the church — think about that — the problem we have in the church is people love the country too much. No, dude, that's not the problem," Bannon insisted. "That's the sick, twisted people that watch MSNBC that must be defeated so they no longer can infest the government of this country."

"They all have to be purged," he added. "Purged. Right. Anybody who would think that was bad has to be purged."

President Donald Trump took a victory lap Monday after the Supreme Court cleared the way for construction of his controversial White House ballroom to continue, calling the massive project a “gift” to the country.

“I am pleased to report that the United States Supreme Court has just ruled in favor of the Ballroom/Military Complex being built without any further contingency, doubt, or threat,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“We are living in the Golden Age of America, and this Building will be one of the Greatest ever constructed in Washington, D.C.,” he added.

The conservative Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Monday to indefinitely halt construction of the project, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the high court’s three liberal justices in dissent.

“When completed in the Summer of 2028, the magnificent Ballroom and Military Complex will be something that the entire Country is very proud of,” Trump posted. He added that the lawsuit brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation was “baseless.”

The ballroom, the president insisted, “is under budget and ahead of schedule and “is totally funded by Great Patriots and Corporations and, therefore, is a Gift — At no cost to the American Taxpayer.”

President Donald Trump was roundly mocked by his critics on Monday after he appeared to fall asleep during a press conference in the Oval Office where his cabinet members heaped effusive praise on him.

Trump and multiple of his cabinet secretaries gathered the press in the Oval Office to tout the administration's record on health care. The event was held at a time when public polling suggests that Republicans face an uphill battle during the upcoming midterms.

At one point, Mehmet Oz, Trump's Medicaid administrator, heaped praise on the president for lowering the cost of some drugs. While Oz spoke, Trump seemed to have a hard time keeping his eyes open, which made some observers think he had fallen asleep yet again.

The president's critics shared their reactions on social media.

"Drowsy Don strikes again," Joanne Carducci, a political commentator who goes by "JoJofromJerz" online, posted on X.

"Grandpa is cooked," Alex Cole, a progressive news content creator, posted on X.

"You would think they’d stop scheduling these press conferences during executive nap time," Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of Campaign for Health New York, posted on X.

"Oz is loud and gesturing at Trump and yet ..." Josh Dorner, a Democratic communications professional, posted on X.


The Supreme Court’s decision allowing President Donald Trump to continue construction of his controversial White House ballroom triggered an immediate wave of outrage Monday.

The justices ruled 5-4 to reject a preservation group’s effort to indefinitely halt construction of the ballroom, according to media reports. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberal justices in dissent.

“The Court’s conservative majority can’t find the spine to tell Trump no about the ballroom,” former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance wrote on X. “Chief Justice Roberts is joined by the 3 liberal Justices in dissent, calling what Trump is doing 'likely unlawful.'"

Political scientist and longtime congressional scholar Norman Ornstein was even more blunt.

“Five lawless partisan hacks,” he posted of the conservative justices who allowed construction to continue.

Attorney Steve Martin took aim at the high court’s majority for seeming to work backward to hand Trump another legal victory.

“The Supreme Court is deciding first to support Trump, then they come up with a rationale,” Martin posted on X.

Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh also tore into the decision, accusing the Supreme Court of once again refusing to rein Trump in.

“He does not have the legal authority to build the ballroom,” Walsh wrote Monday. “But here’s the Supreme Court once again allowing the president of the United States to be a lawless dictator.”

Veteran congressional reporter Jamie Dupree told his followers that the ruling essentially "greenlights the concept that a President can do anything - even if Congress never approved the project or funding for it.

He added: "Imagine what a Democratic President could tear down / rebuild without worrying about Congress.”
