Lots of post-conviction spin these days and yet the trumpists continue fundraising in the resulting chaos.

Conservative media personality Steve Bannon suggested on Friday on his War Room program that Republican lawmakers who support former President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement are bought by big donors.

Bannon, who served as the White House chief strategist under the Trump administration, told his listeners on Friday that there needs to be investigations into the criminal proceedings of Trump, who has been indicted four times on the state and federal level. Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, claims the cases against him are politically motivated as does his allies and supporters, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The conservative talk show host called out House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan of Ohio, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer of Kentucky and House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for not doing enough to help the MAGA cause.

"Once again. I beg of you. Where is Jim Jordan, where's Comer, where's Polly Pockets Johnson. Where are the subpoenas? Where is an investigation? Why are people not being held accountable? Why does it take [conservative activist] Mike Davis and [former Trump aide] Kash Patel and the same people over, and over, and over again. [Former Republican Nevada attorney general candidate] Sigal Chattah...Why does it take them pounding, pounding, pounding," Bannon said.

He continued: "You know why, the fix is in. The donors don't want it. What the donors want is [former Republican presidential candidate] Nikki Haley as prime minister."

x Trump will not step aside, there is no member of the GOP capable of harnessing the same MAGA energy he does and if they tried to replace him he'd tell his cult to boycott the election. https://t.co/1OiK9KkNAD — Ragnarok Lobster 🐺 (@eclecticbrotha) June 1, 2024

x The irony of this abject idiocy is IF Haley replaced Trump, she would win the election. But because the GOP has transformed itself into a conman’s cult, they are blind. https://t.co/qrTJNYWhlV — Spiro’s Ghost (@AntiToxicPeople) June 1, 2024

x If these numbers hold, the swing states could be the writing on the wall for Trump. The Dump Trumpers will be interesting to see at the GOP convention:https://t.co/MzoAnZRlN6 — Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) June 1, 2024
