Steve Bannon Discusses Plans for Trump to be Reinstated With a New Election This Week, ‘Let’s Do It!’

Conservative podcaster and convicted felon Steve Bannon and former Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani were having quite the time on his program Tuesday as they talked about the former president’s plan to regain the White House by nullifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 win with “a new election,” Raw Story reports.

Bannon still seems to be skirting around his contempt of Congress conviction, The Wall Street Journal reports, and he and Giuliani had enough time to think up deliriously stupid comments. So in other words, it was just business as usual for these two.

“We’re never giving up,” Bannon told Giuliani during his War Room: Pandemic podcast. “Trump put that up last night that, hey, because of the Hunter [Biden] situation, because the FBI guy either getting fired or quitting, because of Facebook saying the FBI told them not to do it that he wants — that he won and he wants another election immediately.”

Raw Story reports that Giuliani reacted with a “loud cackle.” Back in the day when I used to counsel clients dealing with mental illness, I heard plenty of cackling. With Giuliani doing this it brought back memories.

And I really don’t understand Bannon at all, not that he’s necessarily worth understanding anyway, but he went on to say that Trump will take power because (for some reason known only to him) 2020 electors can’t be certified for Biden. Now that’s rather clueless on his part when you consider that all of the electors were legally certified before Biden’s inauguration.

“You’re going to not be able to certify the Biden electors and by not certifying the Biden electors, the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and our beloved Constitution have a way that’s supposed to happen,” Bannon said. “That is a contingent election where you vote by state party delegation. And guess what? Even with Liz Cheney of Wyoming voting for the Democrats, I think we will still win 26-24.”

“So let’s do it,” Bannon continued. “Let’s start the contingent election this week. Let’s do it. That’s what we should do. And, MSNBC, suck on that.”

Boy, these two can sure cook up some cockamamie schemes when they get together, can’t they?
