Update (1/28/21): This video has been removed from YouTube following this report from Media Matters. However, Bannon continues to appear in videos on this YouTube channel, pushing debunked claims about Chinese interference in the 2020 election during a January 27 interview and denouncing American politicians who “have turned into running dogs of the Chinese Communist Party.” The host claimed another interview with Bannon will take place next Wednesday, February 3.
After his podcast was suspended from YouTube on January 8, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is back on the platform, spreading the same conspiracy theories and lies that originally got him banned.
Bannon sat down for a virtual interview with the Himalaya London Club UK, one of a number of organizations led and operated by Bannon’s billionaire benefactor Guo Wengui. The interview was livestreamed on Guo’s video platform GTV and subsequently uploaded to the group’s YouTube channel.
During the interview, Bannon pushed some of the same misinformation and conspiracy theories from War Room: Pandemic that violated YouTube’s community guidelines on election and COVID-19 medical misinformation.
Within the first minute of the interview, Bannon falsely claimed, “We think that this election — President Trump won,” and hyped the upcoming impeachment trial as an opportunity to “present his case on how this election was stolen.”
