Steve Bannon Says ‘J6 Choir’ of Capitol Rioters Will ‘Play the Kennedy Center’
Steve Bannon said Thursday a “choir” of Jan. 6 Capitol rioters should perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts now that President Donald Trump is the venue’s chairman.
Bannon said the choir would be welcomed at the center with Ric Grenell serving as president – and after Trump was elected as chair by a board he appointed.
While addressing a crowd at the annual CPAC convention, Bannon also suggested that “elites” who usually get the best seats at the Kennedy Center should spend a night in a “gulag.”
“The J-sixers are here at CPAC,” he said. “All of them! From the medium, high-security prisons to the US penitentiaries. To the men that got diesel therapy. All of them are here!” Bannon continued:
Hey, and let me tell you something else. I talked to Ambassador Ric Grenell last night and the J-sixers, I think the J-six choir is going to play the Kennedy Center for a night in honor of their families. In fact, I got an idea. The night that they play – the J-six choir plays and opens the new – you know, the new – with Rick Grenell and President Trump as chairman. We have the J-six choir, right? And we invite all the families. They try to destroy, the J-sixers and they get to sit in the boxes where the elites sit, right? And we take the lead for just one night and we take him down to the D.C. gulag, right? For one night.
Bannon asked the CPAC crowd if they believed the country’s “elites” could handle a night in a “gulag.” He agreed with them when they replied with a resounding no.
Trump issued a blanket pardon of people convicted of Jan. 6 crimes last month as one of his first acts back in office.
He later fired the board at the Kennedy Center after claiming it had gone “woke.”
