In the latest installment of War Room, Steve Bannon and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene dove headfirst into the debate on whether antifa should be officially labeled a terrorist organization. Their conversation echoed a broader sentiment within segments of the Republican Party, advocating for a more stringent approach to political opposition.
Bannon pressed Greene on the necessity of translating President Trump’s executive orders into statutory law, arguing that without such action, these directives remain just temporary measures that could lapse when the current administration leaves office. “Without codification,” he noted, “these orders are ephemeral, surviving only as long as the presidency.”
Greene candidly admitted, “No, I don’t have 215 co-sponsors from the Republican Party on this bill. It seems that requires our elected officials to exhibit some courage—a trait that has been notably lacking.” She criticized her fellow Republicans for not bringing the bill to the floor for a vote, declaring, “This should be the easiest vote for them.”
Reflecting on the history of antifa, Greene claimed, “We’ve been observing them since the early days of Trump’s presidency. The same individuals were involved in movements like Occupy Wall Street during the Obama administration.” She voiced a vehement warning that antifa’s ultimate goal is to dismantle the U.S. government and plunge the nation into anarchy.
Labeling antifa as part of a coordinated effort to spread chaos, Greene characterized their agenda as deeply anti-government and, by her definition, rooted in communism. “This is an organized push for anarchy, designed to undermine our governmental structures,” she cautioned.
Addressing the heart of the issue, Greene pointed to Congress as the source of the problem, calling on citizens to hold their elected leaders accountable. “Our representatives in the House and Senate must fulfill their responsibilities,” she stated. “If we don’t turn those executive orders into law, they vanish when Trump does.” Bannon reinforced this sentiment, arguing that the current overreach of executive power, executed through the Office of Management and Budget and various executive orders, risks rendering Trump a mere temporary figurehead.
According to Greene, it is the legislative branch’s duty to secure permanence for Trump’s policies through law, arguing, “The House and Senate must pass legislation and responsible appropriation bills to entrench these policies.” She continued, “The executive orders we backed should transition to law for lasting impact.”
“This revolution will only become permanent once it is solidified through the legislative process of the House,” Bannon concluded.
