War Room host Stephen K. Bannon bulldozed ABC News’ Jonathan Karl in an interview ahead of his imprisonment for defying the corrupt January 6 Committee, turning the tables on the corporate media hitman as he asked him to tell Donald Trump supporters to “respect the results” of the 2024 election.

“Have you asked a Democrat this question?” Bannon demanded. “Yes or no? The answer’s no,” he said, before repeating the question to a dumbfounded Karl.

“Have, uh, have, have, I haven’t seen, I haven’t seen Democrats storm the Capitol to try and stop an election,” stammered the ABC journalist, a partisan actor who has authored anti-Trump books, such as the prematurely titled 2021 tract Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show. 

Bannon pressed Karl on extreme statements by Democrats such as Jamie Raskin, prompting Karl to cut in with a testy, “I have no problem asking Democrats if they’re going to respect the election.”

“Then why don’t you do it?” Bannon asked. “The only reason you’re gonna have to is we put a pitchfork to your back and said, ‘Why don’t you ask Democrats?’”

“Here’s the bottom line,” Bannon concluded, rolling over Karl’s feeble attempts to interject again. “When this is adjudicated and reviewed, if they are certifiable, chain of custody ballots and votes from American citizens, then hey, whatever that outcome is, is totally fair. Until the time that we get that, all bets are off.”

Surveys suggest around a fifth of mail-in ballots in 2020 were fraudulent.
