Steve Bannon mocked for claiming he isn't afraid of prison as he 'doesn't have a social life'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In an interview published by Time Magazine on the afternoonof June 25, Steve Bannon, the strategist for the 2016 Trump campaign known for his multiple popped collars and previous advice from the former president to improve personal hygiene, expressed indifference towards prison due to his lack of a social life.
Reportedly, in 2022, a federal jury convicted the right-wing agitator of contempt of Congress. Starting July 1, he will serve four months in a Connecticut penitentiary, mirroring the legal challenges faced by Donald Trump and Jan 6 rioters.
Steve Bannon fearless about upcoming prison sentence
The previous strategist told Eric Cortellessa that his upcoming four-month federal prison sentence, beginning July 1, does not concern him because of his isolated lifestyle.
In his words, “I don’t fear this at all,” said, adding, "I don’t have a social life."
Bannon told Cortellessa not to expect him to emerge from the low-security federal prison in Connecticut in November with a new muscular physique.
“You think I’m going to come out and be prison ripped?” Bannon said. “No, I'll have a lot to do.”
Steve Bannon's bold claims of fearlessness and readiness to serve his prison sentence starkly contrast with his numerous failed efforts to avoid incarceration.
Recently, Bannon argued to an appeals court in Washington DC that his imprisonment would hinder Trump's upcoming presidential campaign due to his essential role.
In response, a sarcastic Bradley Moss commented, "This just in from the man promising to hunt us all down."
Bannon is now appealing to the Supreme Court to overturn his contempt of Congress sentence, a strategy that some legal experts think might have a chance.
In the midst of these final attempts, Bannon stayed unruffled. He wore his signature layered polo shirts and invited Cortellessa into his luxurious D.C. townhouse, where he both resides and operates.
“I’m at war with the ruling class of this country,” Bannon declared. "This is my life.”
Steve Bannon widely condemned for his bold claim
Steve Bannon faced intense criticism for asserting he isn't afraid of prison before his July 1 incarceration.
One viewer expressed, "Really? With that pustulant mug? No social life? I'm shocked."
Another viewer shared, "Stevo, I hope you don't have a life in the very near future."
One viewer pointed out, "His long involuntary celibacy may finally be over in prison. He'll come out a new man."
A follower observed, "For someone who says he doesn't fear going to jail, he's sure trying everything he can think of to not go to jail."
One comment stated, "Oh you're going to have a huge social life in prison dirtbag O_O"
Another comment read, "In prison, the alcoholic grifter will finally be in his element."
"Oh, Mr. Bannon, something tells me you’re going to have a whole new social life in prison…. enjoy!" explained an individual.
