Of Course Steve Bannon and January 6 Fans Are Cheering on the Brazilian Insurrection
"Steve Bannon and others involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on Congress lauded supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro as they stormed government buildings in their capital on Sunday. The cheerleading showed that far-right supporters of Donald Trump’s Big Lie are not merely unrepentant but eager to continue exporting their opposition to democratic norms.
“Brazilian Freedom Fighters,” Bannon wrote Sunday on the right-wing social media app Gettr. His comment follows months of vocal support on his War Room podcast for Bolsonaro supporters who have camped out in Brazil to protest his defeat in October’s elections. Bannon has said that he is directly advising the former president’s son, Brazilian Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro. The younger Bolsonaro has touted Bannon’s calls for his father, who is reportedly now in Florida, not to accept defeat.
Bannon’s role appears to reprise his support for Donald Trump’s election fraud lies and effort to retain power after his 2020 defeat. As Mother Jones reported, Bannon encouraged Trump’s premeditated plan to falsely declare victory on Election Day and championed his efforts to assemble supporters in Washington on January 6. On his January 5 War Room podcast Bannon encouraged listeners eager for “revolution” to go to Washington. “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” he said."
