Twitter permanently suspends Steve Bannon account after talk of beheading
By Curt Devine and Donie O'Sullivan, CNN Business
Updated 12:25 AM EST, Fri November 06, 2020
(CNN Business)Twitter permanently suspended an account belonging to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon after he suggested Thursday morning that Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded. His comments were made in a video posted to his Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter accounts.
Bannon falsely claimed President Trump had won reelection, despite several key states still being too close to call, and said that he should fire both Fauci and Wray.
He then said he would go further: "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 are gone."

We are lacking in law enforcement. Bannon was probably drunk when he posted that. No one in their right mind would.

Damn. I was hoping he was stuck there due to COVID.

I've never seen Mussolini and Bannon in the same room at the same time.
We need to figure out who is making these Axis power zombies and releasing them on the world.

Looks like he is always drunk. McConnells hands and face purple. Trump with double dose of his pancake make up and they claim Joe is too old? The only clean living, active one of them all.
BTW 2 Senate seats will now go to run off. Perdue and another. I have so many names running around in my head it is impossible to keep up.
