Steve Bannon Accuses 'Judas' Mike Pence Of Providing Cover For Joe Biden - Ring of Fire

Trump ally Steve Bannon has accused former Vice President Mike Pence of somehow providing cover for President Biden by having classified documents found in his own home. Apparently Bannon seems to think that there could be a grand conspiracy and that maybe Pence is trying to say "look, we all do it!", but either way, this is about as stupid as humanly possible. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

It's always fun to witness the birth of a new conspiracy theory, and we got to do that this week when the classified documents were of course, reported to have been found in former vice president Mike Pence's home in Indiana. Shortly after that announcement came out, Steve Bannon, of course, took to his getter social media platform and said this to his followers, Judas Pence attempts to provide cover for Biden by having classified documents found in his home. Now, Bannon did not elaborate on this, okay? There was not a follow up sentence. There was not a follow up post on Getter, it was just Judas Pence attempts to provide cover for Biden.

So we have to extrapolate from this single sentence what he means. Obviously, we're talking about Judas, we're talking about traitors. So, so Steve Bannon views Mike Pence as a traitor, either to the American public, to the Republican party, but mostly of course, to Donald Trump because Pence would not overturn the results of the 2020 election. That much is obvious now provides cover for President Biden. Are you implying somehow Mr. Bannon, that Mike Pence seeing all the trouble Biden was having with his document scandal decided, you know what? I've been saving these, these classified documents here for a rainy day, and boy is it storming outside right now. So I'm gonna have my lawyers find them, and then it'll make it look like, Hey, what Biden did isn't so bad. Everybody does it. Ah, I've got some here too. Is that what you're trying to imply? That somehow Mike Pence of all people wanted to help President Biden in any way.

Mike Pence, for all the crap he takes from the MAGA crowd is a very good, loyal Republican. He's a horrible human being with horrible policies, but he's a very, very good Republican. See, while Donald Trump was hoarding cash in the 2022 midterms, Mike Pence was out there raising money and actually giving it to Republican candidates. While Donald Trump was ranting and raving on truth social about the 2020 election, Mike Pence was out there giving speeches about how much he despises President Biden. So Mike Pence has done everything that Republicans are supposed to be doing, right? You're given money to other candidates and you're attacking the opposition party. So if you think for a second that Mike Pence had those classified documents suddenly found because he's trying to run cover for Biden, then you're an idiot. And you clearly aren't smart

Enough to be talking about American politics these days because you can look back at Mike Pence's record since he left office and see that that man has been a relentless warrior to make sure that Democrats don't have any success as they try to help the American public recover from the Trump years. Pence is not a turncoat. Pence is not a traitor. Pence is not a democratic sympathizer. He's just a guy who was wanting to avoid any trouble himself. His lawyers at his request went through the house, they found the documents. There is no scandal here. Mike Pence is neither a hero nor a villain in this particular situation. He's not helping Biden, he's just helping himself. He's not obstructing like Trump did. He's fully cooperating just like Biden is. This whole thing has gotten incredibly stupid. And if this, you know, post from Bannon is any indicator, um, it's probably gonna get a whole lot stupider before it's all over.
