Steve Bannon

Twitter and Youtube have taken a stand against theright-wing strategist Steve Bannon and suspended an account that was promoting Bannon's podcast in which he said the US coronavirus task force expert Anthony Fauci should bedecapitated as a "warning" to others.

Donald Trump's aid and strategist hosts a podcast named "Bannon’s War Room". During one of the latest episodes of the podcast, he suggested that if Donald Trump wins the US election2020 againstJoe Biden, Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded as awarning to the other federalbureaucrats.

"I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I’d put the heads on pikes, right? I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program, or you’re gone," Bannon said.

Many believe that Bannon's comment was meant as a metaphor but was poked by his co-anchorJack Maxey who took the metaphor further by citing the example of anniversary of"hanging of two Tories in Philadelphia" during the American Revolution.

"These [Tories] were Quaker businessmen who had cohabitated, if you will, with the British while they were occupying Philadelphia. These people were hung. This is what we used to do to traitors," Maxey said. "That’s how you won the revolution… The revolution wasn’t some sort of garden party, right? It was a civil war."

Steve Bannon's War Room co-hostRaheem Kassam took to Twitter to share screenshit of the suspended accounts with the caption "Looks permanent. Time to bring
@WarRoom2020back!"

Donald Trump, whose main focus right now is to accuse Joe Biden of committing fraud has not yet commented on this issue. The two, who were once close, have had a falling out in the last few months, but Bannon has continued to lend his supporting voice for the President from a distance.
