Steve Bannon Is FURIOUS That Trump Cancelled His January 6th Event

Steve Bannon is not happy that Donald Trump cancelled his planned press conference today on the anniversary of the Capitol Riot, and he is lashing out at the Republican actors who convinced him to cancel. Bannon took particular aim at Lindsey Graham, saying that Trump should have stood up to him and should have done the exact opposite of what Graham says. In reality, Republicans dodged a bullet by getting Trump to cancel, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

So Donald Trump has decided that it's probably best if he doesn't give a press conference today, the anniversary of the Capital riot. He had been planning it for a couple weeks and then suddenly, just two days ago says I'm not doing it, which honestly is probably the best thing the Republican party could have hoped for. But not all Republicans are celebrating. Oh no, there's a couple that are super that Donald Trump decided to cancel this event and nobody is angrier right now than Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon of course used his platform this week to say this. We are never going to back off it and that's why president Trump tomorrow should step in front of the microphones at Mar-a-Lago. When Lindsey Graham is giving you advice, run the other way. That guy is wrong on everything. He's part of the problem, not part of the solution. Donald J. Trump should walk up tomorrow at Mar-a-Lago and the whole world would be there. He's got command of the narrative. Nobody's got the facts better than Donald Trump. Nobody can give a press conference better than Donald Trump. If they're telling you not to do something, do the exact opposite, he says. First of all, there was already talk among the networks of not carrying Donald Trump's speech and honestly, I feel like that's probably what weighed more on his decision than Republicans like Lindsey Graham, allegedly telling him, hey, this is a really bad idea. We, we know for a fact that throughout his administration, many people told him a lot of the things he did was a really bad idea, but he did it anyway. I think he was worried that the media wasn't going to cover this, except of course the Trump friendly media outlets, Fox news, Newsmax, One America. And beyond that nobody was gonna pay attention. He would be barking in the dark, which is exactly what should have happened if he had given this speech. Everybody who's been watching this knows that I had already pledged I wasn't gonna watch it. I wasn't gonna cover it. And I encouraged everybody else to do the same. Now that's not an issue because it's not a thing that's going to happen today. And again, the Republican party gets to benefit from that because Donald Trump would have gone out there and spread more lies. He would've gone out there and defended the people that stormed the Capitol at a time when most Americans are already getting off that these people aren't being sentenced harshly enough. More on that coming up on a, in a segment later. But either way, Steve Bannon is 100% wrong here. Everything he said in his statement is wrong. Trump does not have command of the narrative. The public understands what happened that day. Sure. There's plenty of Republicans who think, oh, no, it was totally peaceful protest. But the public at large understands that this was an atrocious event that needs to be investigated. They support, a majority of Americans support the work of the January 6th select committee. So Steve Bannon, I, I know you're supposed to be this kind of brilliant strategist, but really, if you can't see how damaging this would've been for Donald Trump, then you're clearly not as smart as you like to think that you are. Certainly not as smart as Republicans give you credit for being. This would've been a horrible move by the Republican party. They would've had to go and play cleanup for the next couple of weeks.
