Former White House strategist Steve Bannon told a group of Boston Republicans that former President Donald Trump will come roaring back in 2024, suggesting he may first be elected to Congress, displace Nancy Pelosi as speaker and launch impeachment proceedings against President Biden.
“Going forward, we can transform the Republican Party into more of a MAGA movement … just immerse the (Make America Great Again) movement with the Republican Party, and we’re going to have massive victories in the future,” Bannon said in a Lincoln Day Breakfast speech.
During his talk to the West Roxbury Ward 20 Republican Committee on Saturday, the same day Trump was acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial, Bannon even floated the idea of Trump becoming speaker of the House in 2022 and impeaching President Biden.
“Trump is a disruptor, but he has a long-term vision because I absolutely believe in the marrow of my bones that he will be our nominee in 2024,” Bannon later added. “He’ll come back to us. We’ll have a sweeping victory in 2022, and he’ll lead us in 2024.”
Bannon, who promoted the unsubstantiated allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election and claimed that Trump won, said his strategy is for Trump to run for Congress in 2022 and say he’s running for speaker of the House.
“We totally get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and the first act of President Trump as speaker will be to impeach Joe Biden for his illegitimate activities of stealing the presidency,” Bannon said, leading to applause and hollers from the Boston Republicans.
Bannon told the crowd that they “need to confront this radical Biden administration every day.”
Politics should no longer be thought of as Republicans versus Democrats, he stressed during his talk.
“It’s between populists, nationalists, traditionalists versus these kind of globalists, elites, secular radicals,” Bannon said, adding, “This is what I think the future of this movement is … . We’re going to have a big aspect of disaffected Democrats that start to come over.”
Lou Murray, the chair of the West Roxbury Ward 20 Republican Committee, also said that “more traditionally minded Democrats” will leave the party because of the “radicalism” of Biden’s administration.
“I 100% agree with that,” Murray said, later adding, “The Trump brand isn’t over. The MAGA, America First message of Donald Trump is extremely popular, and that message will keep being extremely popular.”
Bannon was among the scores of people who were pardoned at the 11th hour by Trump. The former strategist was one of four charged in an alleged scheme to divert fundraising tied to the southern border wall.
The organizers of the “We Build The Wall” group portrayed themselves as eager to help the president build a “big beautiful” barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, as he promised during the 2016 campaign. They raised more than $25 million from thousands of donors and pledged that 100% of the money would be used for the project.
But according to the criminal charges, much of the money never made it to the wall. Instead, it was allegedly used to line the pockets of group members, including Bannon.
Herald wire services were used in this report.
That would be quite a downgrade.
That’s far fetched, but it would be hilarious if Trump ran for Congress, and republicans took the house and made Trump speaker.
Then if Trump impeached both Biden and Kamala simultaneously, as third in line, Trump would become President.
And then he would actually be able to run again in 2024. Giving him just under 10 years as President.
I don’t’ think it would go over that well with the general populace. But I would love it!!
The Donald needs to run for Fl governor. Let DeSantis run for POTUS. Him and Pompeo. Or Pompeo and DeSantis.
You guys don’t see it because it’s an exceedingly stupid idea.
God bless President Trump! Excuse me while I speak wrest. The Moses analogy isn’t perfect, because Trump actually made it into the promised land before being ejected. Still, he’ll be 76 is two years. He’s done his duty and should be leading at the macro level, not running for office again himself. That’s part of the rats’ problem: their leaders and bench are old. We need to look for younger people who have learned you don’t have to take it from the media. President DeSantis, anyone? Congresswoman Owens? Senator Noem?
Agreed. MAGA is DJT but the torch needs to be passed to younger people.
Personally I think DJT has taken enough of a beating - what they did to him ...and are still trying to do ...is pure evil.
Bannon, ever the optimist. For all of Nov/Dec, he was saying don’t worry, we got this, there will be no president biden.
Why would Congressional RINOs elect Trump speaker?
It might be hard to get a conviction in the Senate.
What an idiotic idea.
There's the little matter of 67 votes in the Senate to convict that stands between you and your hilarity.
Vermont fills vacant Senate seats through a special election. The governor doesn't appoint them.
As we’ve seen impeachment by the House (in my lifetime 3 times) without conviction is a sternly worded letter home to ones mother.
If the election fraud is not corrected, 2022 and 2024 are irrelevant.
Hurray!
You need to be in the majority if you're going to be Speaker. If Trump is running for election in one congressional district then that means he's NOT available to campaign against RINOs like Cheney in Wyoming. He's a much more effective weapon covering the country and supporting other candidates for the House than running for one seat on his own.
Nonsense! LOL! President Trump as a Senator? AAAAAALLLLL would recognize him as the next President, again!! And those who did not, are just plain stupid!
Hey CIA Bannon,
Don’t you think your getting the massive systemic “election cart” fraud before the “election horse” —
Just a tiny little nation ending question.
fix the voting systems first was my first thought also.
Reckon we could get KY to recall Mitch? We would help.
Trump, the most powerful influencial person in out of Government would be Kevin McCartys bitch?Yeah keep smoking that rope Bannon.
