On Thursday, Steve Bannon had an unexpected interruption during the live broadcast of his daily “War Room” presentation. His house in Washington, D.C. was abruptly visited by police, setting off a flurry of rumors and worries.
When the Trump administration’s former White House chief strategist was at home, he was the focus of a hostile call to the police. In a disturbing but all-too-common occurrence, the caller’s intention was to hurt him or someone else.
Police may misinterpret swatting for a serious scenario and employ excessive force as a result, which has the potential to be fatal.
Over the last year, Bannon has been the target of many risky swatting events.
He informed his audience about the most recent Biden family corruption scandal on his broadcast on Thursday.
“We got swatted in the middle of the show when I was in the C block in the first hour,” remarked Bannon to his audience.
He claimed that individuals who had targeted him wanted to silence him.
“What they’re trying to do on the swats is they’re trying to have suicide [or, in this case, murder] by police. They’re trying to make sure that something happens here that one of the police officers gets concerned about what’s going on and actually starts off firing,” Bannon said.
Bannon maintained his composure and attention as cops drew near his residence.

“I’m telling my team, ‘Hey, can you knock it off?” he told his audience. “I’ve got to concentrate here. We’re actually getting swatted here.”
Call takers, according to Bannon, are criminals.
“They’re criminals and here’s why: They fear this audience,” he said. “They understand that this is ascendant.
“What they’re gonna try to do is take any voice — whether it’s Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson or Steve Bannon of the ‘War Room,’ — they’re gonna try to eliminate all those voices,” he continued.
Bannon thinks that his adversaries are out to influence voters and rig elections as part of a larger plan.
“They understand that an informed electorate is [an] electorate that will demand consent to the governed and the governed, right now, are not consenting to this, whether it’s on the southern border of this country or … other investigations,” he concluded.
The producer of Bannon’s “War Room” told The Post Millennial that the show continued to air even after the police were called to his house.
“And we stayed live!” the person said.
The presenter also made a quick response to the site regarding the alleged attempt on his life, saying, “Honey badger don’t give a s**t.”
As executive chairman of Breitbart News, Bannon made the famous comparison between the news organization and the courageous honey badger. Later, in a feature piece, a writer drew a connection between Bannon and the resilient animal.
