Former advisor to Donald Trump Steve Bannon attacked Fox News for finally covering the biggest story in United States politics—the January 6th House Select Committee hearings.

Bannon—a prior Trump pardon recipient—was cited for contempt for refusing to cooperate with the House inquiry into the Capitol riot that resulted in at least five deaths, over 100 injuries to law enforcement and millions of dollars in damages.

In a post to former Republican President Donald Trump's beleaguered Twitter clone, Truth Social, Bannon ranted:

"Fox News shows their hand—all in on taking down President Trump—now it’s out in the open—IF YOU WATCH FOX U ARE ONLY AIDING AND ABETTING THEIR ANTI-TRUMP HATE"

Fox News was widely criticized for their failure to cover or televise the January 6th hearings.

But now that they have devoted some airtime to the major story, conservatives like Bannon are making their displeasure known.

People were less than sympathetic to Bannon's complaints.






Some wondered what changed at Fox News.



Bannon has ranted about the hearings multiple times.

On his War Room: Pandemic podcast the day after the first televised January 6th hearing, Bannon said:

"Trump won the presidency. And he is the legitimate President of the United States, and your guy's illegitimate and the American people are awakening to that."
"We don't care what you have to say. And I dare Merrick Garland to take that crap there last night and try to indict Donald J. Trump."
"We dare you because we will impeach you. We're winning in November and we're going to impeach you and everybody around you."
"F*ck—screw the White House. We're going to impeach you and everybody in the DOJ."

In public, Bannon has consistently parroted Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election.

But testimony before the House Select Committee alleged Bannon knew it was all a lie, knew Trump lost by a wide margin, but repeated the lies to secure a pardon.

Bannon was pardoned by Trump as one of his last acts in office. Bannon was facing fraud charges for a border wall scam at the time.

Glenn Close Offers Dire Warning To Trump Over His Regime's 'Inhumanity' In Powerful Video

Film legend Glenn Close shared her feelings on President Donald Trump and his regime's "inhumanity" in a viral video on Instagram, saying she felt "compelled" to speak out in the wake of the murder of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Close—best known for starring in such classics as Fatal Attraction and who recently received raves for her work on Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery—condemned the "cold-blooded murder of American citizens" and warned Trump that "there will be hell to pay" as more and more people rise up against his leadership.

Gavin Newsom Epically Rips JD Vance And MAGA Senator Over Their Hot Takes On Minneapolis Shootings

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Vice President JD Vance and Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton after they both posted heartless remarks about the recent killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Earlier this month, ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Good in her car. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.”

AOC Goes Nuclear On Kristi Noem For Suggesting That Protesters Who Show Up With Firearms Deserve To Die

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's hypocrisy after Noem responded to the murder of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis by claiming that protesters who show up with firearms aren't "peaceful."

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—whom authorities said was permitted to carry but was not handling—before fatally shooting him.
