Steve Bannon on Friday asked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene whether being booed while she introduced a resolution to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson was like the “Christians going into the Colosseum.”

Greene joined Bannon on his “War Room” show and discussed her resolution, which she introduced Wednesday and drew boos from House members on both sides of the aisle.

“People don't understand the courage it takes to go there, when your colleagues — those boos, inside that chamber when it's coming down, it's even 10 times, it sounds so loud, you can barely hear you there, but how loud was it?” Bannon asked Greene.

“It was deafening,” Greene said. “Imagine walking into an arena where everyone hates you in that moment.”

“So, this is like the Christians going into the Colosseum with the Romans?” Bannon asked.

“Oh yeah. Oh, 100%,” she replied.

“It may not have sounded that loud on the audio because the microphone was here for me,” Greene said, gesturing to her face, “and that's what was picking up their boos, so I am the loudest voice here. But inside that room, the boos were deafening.”

Bannon, meanwhile, lost his appeal of his contempt of Congress conviction earlier Friday. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the verdict, which would carry a four-month prison sentence for Donald Trump’s former White House adviser.

Bannon was sentenced in October 2022 for refusing to testify before the House January 6th committee investigating the insurrection, but he was free while he appealed. He could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the court previously rejected former Trump aide Peter Navarro’s appeal on similar charges.
