Video: MSNBC Analyst Admits It’s ‘Important’ for ‘Huge MAGA Voice’ Steve Bannon to ‘Be Silenced’ Ahead of Election
An MSNBC legal analyst acknowledged the significance of jailing leading MAGA voice Steve Bannon, noting that silencing the ex-Trump advisor ahead of the 2024 election is “important” for Democrats.
“I think Steve Bannon will in all probability serve that four month sentence and be silenced in the lead up to the election,” admitted legal correspondent Lisa Rubin, summarizing how the jail term would keep the staunch MAGA advocate from influencing the 2024 election.
“That’s particularly important because Steve Bannon was a huge voice for MAGA in the lead up to and more importantly, after the 2020 election.”

The wink and nod to the Democrats’ subversive lawfare strategy comes as a federal judge on Thursday ordered Bannon to begin his prison term starting on July 1, stemming from his defiance of a congressional subpoena ordering him to testify before the Jan. 6 Select Committee.
Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse on Thursday, Bannon decried the order as a convenient way for Democrats to take down top-level MAGA influencers, but noted it would not be enough to stop MAGA in November.
“They’re not going to shut up Trump. They’re not going to shut up [Peter] Navarro. They’re not going to shut up Bannon. And they’re certainly not going to shut up MAGA,” Bannon declared.
BANNON: All of this is about one thing—shutting down the MAGA movement, grassroots conservatives and Pres Trump. Not only are we winning, we are going to prevail. There’s not a prison or jail built that can shut me up. pic.twitter.com/rjTvjHlrzW

“All of this is… about one thing this is about shutting down the MAGA movement, shutting down grassroots conservatives, shutting down President Trump.”
“Not only are we winning, but we are going to prevail, and every poll shows that.”
