Fresh from his release after serving time in federal prison, Steve Bannon delivers stark warnings about Hunter Biden's potential incarceration.
According to Daily Mail, the former White House chief strategist believes President Joe Biden's son would struggle to survive in federal prison, suggesting he wouldn't last more than two days.
Released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, on Tuesday, Bannon immediately returned to the political sphere with provocative statements about the Biden family. The 70-year-old political figure served four months for contempt of Congress related to the January 6 investigation.
Drawing from his recent incarceration, Bannon described federal prisons as violent environments plagued by drug issues, particularly synthetic marijuana known as K2. His experience led him to conclude that Hunter Biden, who has previously struggled with drug addiction, would face significant challenges in such an environment.
The president's son faces potential prison time when he receives his sentence for gun and tax crimes in December. Despite calls for clemency, President Biden has consistently stated he will not use his presidential powers to pardon his son.
Bannon emphasized that surviving in federal prison requires constant vigilance and focus. His military background in the U.S. Navy, he claimed, helped prepare him for the confined environment with numerous other inmates.
Bannon wasted no time resuming his political activities, hosting his War Room livestream show from a Manhattan hotel suite immediately after his release. His return to the public sphere comes at a crucial time, just one week before Election Day.
During a press conference in Manhattan, Bannon, sporting his trademark double-shirt and Barbour jacket, revealed he had already communicated with Donald Trump. However, he declined to provide details about their conversation.
The political strategist maintained his stance on election integrity, warning supporters that the upcoming election results might take time to finalize. He emphasized the importance of ground game operations and voter turnout.
Bannon shared details about his own prison experience, noting how the strict regimen and outdoor exercise contributed to weight loss. His time with fellow inmates, he claimed, energized him for future political endeavors.
Speaking about the prison system, Bannon stated as follows:
I'm 70 years old. I can tell you, there's not many 70-year-olds I know on Wall Street or in the political class that could go to a federal prison for four months. It's extremely difficult. These places are violent places. There's lots of drugs. This drug, K2 is all over these prisons.
His observations about Hunter Biden were equally direct:
I don't think Hunter Biden would last 48 hours in a federal prison. I think that it would be too much for him, particularly with his previous drug addiction.
The former chief strategist's release coincides with a heated political climate, as polls indicate a close race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Bannon's immediate return to political commentary and campaign activities signals his continued influence in conservative circles. His warnings about Hunter Biden's potential prison sentence add another layer of complexity to the ongoing political narrative surrounding the Biden family. As December approaches, the implications of Hunter Biden's legal troubles continue to cast a shadow over the administration's political landscape.
