Twitter banned an account associated with Steve Bannon on Thursday and YouTube removed one of his videos after the former Trump adviser called for the beheadings of two federal officials.

Bannon, in a video for his podcast recording, had said he wanted to behead FBI Director Christopher Wray and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious diseases expert.

Bannon said he would “put the heads on pikes” as a “warning to federal bureaucrats,” referencing Tudor-era England.

“The @WarRoomPandemic account has been permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules, specifically our policy on the glorification of violence,” Twitter said in a statement. The platform has an established policy against the glorification of violence.

4. I'm sure he was just "being sarcastic", like his shitbag, former boss.

But yeah, LOCK HIM UP, for sure.

7. Soliciting murder of specific government officials is not protected by first amendment

2. Good

he's a grease pit hate mongerer. (I apologize to actual grease pits in diners and other places. You're much better than Bannon.)

3. fuck that POS!! he so needs to be convicted for fraud, locked up, and the key tossed into the sun

5. THAT is a terroristic threat!

6. good.

8. Revoke his bond?

I wonder what the terms are of his bail/bond? I would think that suggesting the beheading of public employees might be a good reason to consider a revocation and a return to custody.

9. I'd have no problem with that.

If I were the prosecutor, I'd be calling the judge right about now.
