Far-Right Trump Ally Urges President To Take Over Election
Steve Bannon, a Trump lapdog and far-right ideologue, is once again calling on the president to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the polls in November and, failing that, to declare a national emergency allowing him to take over elections.
Claiming that noncitizens casting ballots dilute the election results and help Democrats win, Bannon said Tuesday on an episode of his “War Room” podcast: "If you just had American citizens that were actually eligible to vote and you had elections that were certifiable on chain-of-custody votes, they would never win."
"This is why President Trump — we've got to stop yammering about the SAVE America Act. It's not going to happen. You know why it's not going to happen? Because John Thune and the donors don't want it to happen. They think it's racist. They think it's nativist. The ID, all of it. That's why they blocked it. That's why they treat President Trump like a lame duck," Bannon said.
"This is why we need a national emergency proclamation, a national emergency memo, about the upcoming elections. You're going to have to have a forcing function to get to ID. You're going to have to have a forcing function not to have the phony mail-in ballots," Bannon said.
Though sending ICE officers to polls would violate numerous federal and state voter intimidation laws, Bannon countered: "They say, well, that's going to be intimidation. Well, it ain't intimidation if you're a United States citizen. It's an intimidation if you're a foreigner and here illegally and not eligible to vote. It should be intimidating. We don't want you there. We don't want you near a voting booth."
Treason deserves hanging.
