Former Trump strategist and War Room host Steve Bannon is calling for the arrest of Sen. Lindsay Graham over his trip to Ukraine and pushing for the war to continue.
Bannon stated that at the very least, the South Carolina career politician should have his passport revoked and be barred from returning to the United States during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Monday.
“He’s giving Ukrainians false hope,” Bannon said. “Two things ought to happen; either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back. Lindsay Graham is stirring it up right now. People better wake up to the fact that we’re getting sucked into this war.”
Cuomo argued, “I don’t understand how you could want to jail a U.S. senator because he’s saying something you don’t like — that sounds like worst of the deep state, and lawfare.”
“No, no. What he’s doing over there right now is stirring it up. He’s giving Ukrainians false hope-” Bannon countered.
“But it’s not illegal,” Cuomo interrupted.
“He’s giving Ukrainians false hope, he’s giving Ukrainians false hope that we’re there to support them on engaging Russia in a kinetic conflict and we are not. One of the central parts of President Trump —” Bannon continued.
Cuomo again interrupted, “So maybe he’s wrong. So maybe he’s wrong, but why do you say throw him in jail?”
“Two things ought to happen; either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back. Lindsay Graham is stirring it up right now. People better wake up to the fact that we’re getting sucked into this war and if we get sucked in much more-” Bannon said, before being cut off again.
“I get it,” Cuomo said.
“First off, you just said the intelligence community, if the intelligence community actually did this, this is an act of war against Russia. Did the American people vote to go to war with the Russian people?” Bannon asked.
Cuomo responded, saying, “No.”
“This thing is so serious, but look, I’m being serious,” Bannon continued. “Curtis LeMay at the top of the game and during the during worst years in the Soviet Union during the Cuban missile crisis. We never even conceived of going out and taking out 40% of their bombers on runways. The attack was audacious. It was brilliant. But the problem is it gets us involved in a conflict that no one in the United States wants to be part of and it’s going to be tougher for us to break off.”
Cuomo responded, “I don’t disagree with that. I’m just saying you can’t be throwing people in jail because you don’t like what they say. That’s my only point. I’m not saying that you’re wrong about where this might lead and how dangerous it is. And that’s why I wanted you on to discuss it. We’re watching it very carefully and we will continue to do so. And you’re always here to make your case. Steve Bannon, I appreciate you.”
