Former Republican operative Tim Miller confronted ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon over his lies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
“You don’t actually imagine this shit,” he informed Bannon to his face. (Watch the video under.)
Bannon, who was just lately sentenced to 4 months in jail for defying a subpoena to sit down for a deposition in regards to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and supply paperwork, continued to advance his and the previous president’s baseless claims in an interview shared Monday by the Showtime political doc sequence “The Circus.”
By no means thoughts that Bannon’s prediction of Republican Kari Lake profitable within the Arizona governor’s race aged so poorly within the clip. (She misplaced on Monday.) It’s his ride-or-die devotion to regurgitating 2020 falsehoods that stands out as Miller grills him a la Jordan Klepper.
Miller, who was the communications director for Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential run, calls Bannon “the king of the ‘cease the steal’ motion” and asks him why Lake, the Trump-backed election denier, was nonetheless harping on 2020.
“Wait until the Home of Representatives subsequent 12 months, when now we have an actual J6 committee,” Bannon stated.
“Oh, come on,” Miller replied.
Bannon predicted that a Republican-controlled Home will “adjudicate the 2020 election all via November.”
“You don’t actually imagine this shit,” Miller snapped at him, referring to the fraud claims.
“One hundred percent,” Bannon replied.
Bannon insisted Trump had nothing to do with the Capitol siege, prompting some harsh phrases from Miller. He bashed Bannon and his former boss for perpetuating the fabrications that fueled the revolt.
“Should you weren’t mendacity about it, that wouldn’t have occurred,” Miller stated. “Come on, you don’t imagine this, man!”
A fed-up Miller declared “I’m not doing this anymore,” and appeared to stroll away.
