Podcaster Steve Bannon and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) discussed President-elect Donald Trump’s historic victory this week during a segment on his show Tuesday evening, as both vowed to go after Jan. 6 Committee co-chair Liz Cheney, now a former GOP lawmaker from Wyoming.
“MTG, you’ve been with us from the beginning as a fighter. Give us your thoughts tonight on this historic night,” began Bannon, a former Trump White House adviser and campaign manager.
“I tell you what Steve, this is the greatest thing. I’ve been so excited. We’ve been here at Mar-a-Lago everyone’s losing their mind. We’re celebrating, partying. But I knew this was going to happen,” replied Greene.
“America was not going to tolerate the communist regime destroying our freedoms, ripping our borders wide open, trying to turn our kids trans, and promoting abortion as reproductive rights. America is done with it. They’re fed up with a weaponized government, and we’re winning big tonight. And President Trump is going back to the White House,” the Georgia Republican continued.
“By the way, I have a hat tip for you. You stayed in Georgia and said, I’m committed to delivering Georgia for President Trump. Talk to me about Georgia tonight because it was a blowout win,” Bannon followed up.
“Huge win in Georgia. You know, I stayed on the ground in my home state. It was so important to me to deliver delivered for President Trump. And so that’s what I did. And we came through. And I’m so proud of everyone in Georgia. Everyone worked hard. They knocked doors. They made sure everyone got out the vote early. Most importantly, Steve, they were poll watchers watching our elections. We have to continue to fight for election integrity. That fight will never be over because the Democrats will steal elections if they’re given the opportunity. But I think Republicans finally learned how to win elections and we just have to keep it going,” Greene replied.
“Congressman Greene, you’ve done so much work. You’re such a you’re such a fighter. Now, is there truth to the rumor that you’re going to take over at DHS,” Bannon said, referencing earlier reports regarding Greene saying she wanted to run Homeland Security.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, Steve. We’re just thrilled to have President Trump back in the White House because everyone knows what that means. We’re going to dismantle the deep state. We’re going to end the weaponized government. We’re going to pardon the J6’ers. That’s extremely important. And we are going to restore peace and prosperity back for the American people. And we’re going to end those foreign wars and we’re going to end the climate change scam. Everything’s going to be restored. We’re so excited,” she said.
“Congressman Greene, the American people rejected tonight the entire narrative about J6. You’re committed with me that we’re going to work like crazy to make sure that we get a pardon for the J6 individuals and also go after those people that persecuted them,” Bannon noted further.
“Absolutely. I mean, look at what Liz Cheney did with the January 6th committee. Bennie Thompson, Nancy Pelosi. They totally abused the power of Congress and persecuted people, not just President Trump, but people like you, Peter Navarro, Trump staff, many people that worked in his administration, but also ordinary citizens,” Greene said.
She added: “And it was so wrong. And then what they did through the FBI raiding these people’s home, what they did at the Department of Justice and continuing to do Matthew Graves in particular. Just get this straight. [U.S. Attorney for D.C.] Matthew Graves is about to be fired. And that’s that’s one of the people that deserves to be held accountable for what he has done to ordinary Americans. They never did this to Antifa violent rioters. They never did this to BLM, violent rioters. But we’re going to take our country back and we’re going to restore the scales and the balance to justice.”
