He further demanded allegiance to the belief that the election was stolen, stating, “I’m adamant. There shouldn’t be anybody in the Trump campaign or the [Republican National Committee] in a paid position that does not believe to the marrow of their bones that the 2020 election was stolen. If you don’t believe that, to me, you miss the point of where we are and why we’re here.”

Carville, known for his colorful language, expressed concern over Bannon’s potential influence in prison. He emphasized the need for Bannon to be isolated due to the intensity of his beliefs, suggesting, “He needs a cell by himself because he’s gonna stink that jail up something fierce,” as per Mediaite.

Controversy surrounds Steve Bannon's insistence on election theft 

Bannon’s statements have continued to stir controversy, especially his insistence that those in the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee must believe the election was stolen.

Carville highlighted the divisive nature of Bannon’s rhetoric, implying it could pose challenges within the prison environment.

“Well, he’s gonna have four months to contemplate everything,” Carville replied. “But I think whoever his cellmate is can make a good Eighth Amendment case if you remember that from law school. That’s cruel and unusual punishment. You have to be in the cell and smell this guy. I think that’s something out of some North Korean torture chamber."

He added, "But he’s going to have, boy’s gonna have a lot of time to think about 2020 and his past life and whatever the future holds because he’s going to the penitentiary, probably for longer than four months. But please, Lord… he needs a cell by himself because he’s gonna stink that jail up something fierce.”

One added, "I heard people says he smells like sulfur."

Another wrote, "Maybe Trump and Bannon can share a cell?? They are the same diaper size, so it should be easier for the Jail."

One stated, Bannon stinks, sure. But his fantasies are a putrid stench no one can match."
