Steve Bannon, a former Chief Strategist to President Donald Trump, has been banned from Twitter for suggesting that Dr Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray, be beheaded.
He said so on
Thursday during a live stream of his online show; “War Room: Pandemic”. The
video was then shared to his Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter accounts.
In the video,
Bannon falsely claimed that Donald Trump had won the U.S Presidential election,
adding that the President should fire both Fauci and Wray.
”I would put
the heads on pikes. Right. I’d put them at the two corners of the White House
as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you are
gone” he said.
Almost
200,000 people had viewed the video before Facebook removed it, citing its
violence and incitement policies.
YouTube also
removed the video for violating its policy against “inciting violence” on
Thursday evening.
Twitter said
it had permanently suspended the account of Bannon’s “War Room” podcast for
glorifying violence.
