Trump ally Steve Bannon is SWATTED during his podcast

Trump ally Steve Bannon gets SLAPPED on his podcast: Claims cyberbullies want ‘suicide by cops’ as DC agents are called to his Capitol Hill home

  • Steve Bannon, an ally of former President Donald Trump, was knocked down Thursday while on air recording his War Room show
  • Whacking is a dangerous cyberbullying tactic – and Bannon has been a target before
  • It is when a call describes a violent episode at the target’s address, hoping to provoke an armed police response

Steve Bannon, an ally of former President Donald Trump, was struck down Thursday while he was on-air taping his War Room show.

Bannon was the victim of a dangerous cyberbullying tactic in which a caller describes a violent episode that happened at the target’s address, hoping to provoke an armed police response.

Trump’s former White House chief strategist was also slapped at least twice last year.

“What they’re trying to do with the whacks is they’re trying to commit suicide by the police,” Bannon said. “They’re trying to make sure something happens here that one of the police officers becomes concerned about what’s going on and actually starts firing.”

Bannon called the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department “smart” about targeting him, as his Capitol Hill address had been called before.

The former White House official lives in a row house on a quiet street behind the Supreme Court that was nicknamed the “Breitbart Embassy” for many years.

In its heyday, Breitbart’s staff hosted raucous parties with novelties such as a Mariachi band or a miniature horse.

On Thursday morning, Bannon had plenty of new content to discuss on his War Room program shortly after Trump returned to CNN Wednesday night for a New Hampshire town hall event with Kaitlan Collins.

However, instead of being able to play those clips, he said he was interrupted by law enforcement.

“We’re going to cut the show off last night, more into the 5-7 p.m. show, when I’d try to do [it] this morning, but there’s so much going on — including the fact that we got smacked in the middle of the show when I was in the “C” block in the first hour,” Bannon said.

“I say to my team, ‘Hey, can you take it out?’ I need to concentrate here.” We’re actually being beaten down here,” he continued.

Bannon's home in DC is a well-known address, tucked away on a quiet street behind the Supreme Court.  It was long nicknamed the 'Breitbart Embassy' and hosted raucous parties

The former White House official said those responsible were under investigation and called them “criminals.”

“They’re criminals and here’s why: they’re afraid of this audience. They understand that this is ascendant. And what they’re going to try is to take out every voice, whether it’s Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson or Steve Bannon from the War Room, they’re going to try to eliminate all those voices,” Bannon said.

“They understand that an informed electorate is an electorate that will seek permission from the governed. And the governments at the moment are not agreeing to this, whether it be on the southern border of this country, or any other research,” the strategist added.
