Former Trump Administration Official and “War Room” host Steve Bannon received a Patriot Award during a ceremony at the National Press Club. The South Shore Press was there for the event and spoke to Bannon exclusively about the New York Mayor’s race in 2025 and what Republicans need to do to win in the Empire State
“Every time he (President Trump) reaches out. They spit in his face. Every time that he reaches out to them they want to ‘moderate him.’ to do it their way. guess what? we’re not doing it their way, we’re getting rid of the Biden people. deport 15 million illegal aliens. We're going to take on the lords of easy money who control this country. The big money of Wall Street controls this country, it's got to be broken. The person to break it is President Trump.
Are you guys ready for a fight? I can't hear you. Are you ready for a fight?
Last thing. I want to repeat what Napoleon told his marshalls. the 12 Marshalls of France, and make it about our country and our republic. He said, “When you set out to take Vienna."
South Shore Press: “What’s your message to New Yorkers?”
Bannon: “You see what happened there. As soon as Eric Adams tried to crack down on sanctuary cities, they charged him with crimes. The whole thing is rigged. The whole thing is absolutely rigged. What we have to do, is we have to win at the ballot box. NYC is on the tipping point. President Trump went to the Bronx. Queens, the Bronx, are ripe for us to take over. So the outer boroughs should be Trump country.”
South Shore Press: “Are minority voters the key to picking up GOP votes in New York?”
Bannon: “Absolutely. New York is full of working-class people, which is what is going to win. Just follow President Trump and MAGA (Make America Great Again), and we’ll get there”
