The United States House of Representatives established the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol building on July 1st 2021 to determine exactly what led to the riot at the Capitol building and determine how to avoid such occurrences in the future. The US House of Representatives ordered Steve Bannon, former campaign manager and political advisor to the Trump administration, to appear before the House Select Committee on October 14th 2021, Bannon refused this subpoena and the House voted to hold him in criminal contempt of Congress on October 19th. Recently Bannon established a podcast the War Room, which was banned from several social media sites for Bannon calling for the beheading of Anthony Fauci, the government’s chief medical advisor, and FBI Director Christopher Wray. In the months since the January 6th attack, Bannon is one of the few Trump staffers left continually pushing the narrative that the 2020 election was stolen and should be overturned, many mainstream media outlets have taken to publishing articles claiming Bannon is attempting to push the country into a second civil war. Should Bannon be prosecuted for failing to appear before the House Select Committee?
