Steve Bannon continues sowing doubts about the 2024 election as he heads to prison

Steve Bannon, a top ally of former President Donald Trump, reported to prison in Danbury, Conn., on Monday to begin a four-month sentence for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas — a term he sought to paint as a political prosecution.

Bannon spoke to reporters outside the prison before entering the prison grounds at noon.

“I am proud to go to prison. If this is what it takes to stand up to tyranny, if this is what it takes to stand up to the Garland corrupt criminal DOJ, if this is what it takes to stand up to Nancy Pelosi, if this is what it takes to stand up to Joe Biden, I’m proud to do it,” he said.

In the days leading up to his prison sentence, Bannon continued sowing doubt about Democrats' ability to win in November unless "they're stealing it," following a pattern of his spreading falsehoods about election security as he heads to prison Monday.

Bannon reiterated to NBC News in an interview Saturday that he believes there is "no chance" Democrats will win November's election unless "they're stealing it."
