It’s been a frenetic four weeks for Steve Bannon. At the tail end of October, just before the election, the pied-piper of the MAGA movement was released from federal prison in Connecticut in the middle of the night, 20 pounds lighter after serving a four-month sentence for refusing to cooperate with a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the January 6 riot. Bannon couldn’t follow much election news in prison, but once out, he picked up his populist crusade right where he left off. He donned his Barbour jacket and went straight back into the War Room, his freewheeling daily show, where he urged his posse of deplorable followers to mobilize for Donald Trump in the final week before Election Day.
