WarRoom host Stephen K. Bannon made an appearance on The John Fredericks Show Tuesday morning, where he joined Fredericks in calling on former President Donald Trump to demand the immediate resignation of Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel.
Bannon criticized the current state of the RNC, citing a substantial list of failures, including financial issues, lack of focus, and questionable priorities such as organizing debates that foment anti-Trump sentiment.
Bannon noted that the RNC “can be a robust platform under new leadership.”
“People want to make it work, but when you see where they spend their time and money, flitting around with the mainstream media – which all hates Trump; giving a platform to all the anti-Trump poison,” he said.
“It’s not acceptable.”

TRANSCRIPT
John Fredericks: Final question: one of the things we’re doing in January – speaking about January it’s a big month – we’re going to the RNC winter meeting that’s going to be in at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas.
We’re calling on President Trump to call for Ronna Romney to resign prior to that, so we have an apparatus in place to elect a new chair.
Do you think he’ll do that? And do you think he should do that?
Steve Bannon: I think 1,000 percent – I think it’s one of the great things you’re taking leadership on.
You know, Charlie Kirk and Turning Point, I think you’re going to try to have a two-day preliminary, which you would have to be at.
But no, I think it’s incumbent upon President Trump. We need a correlation of forces here, a convergent of forces, to make sure that not just that we win in 2024, but then we win across the board and that we can govern; not like when they tried to stop President Trump at the phony Russian hoax and what I call the nullification project from the very beginning.
He has to be able to govern.
You need a robust RNC. It’s just not there.
I mean, there’s no money. There’s no focus. I mean, it’s disgusting that they spent all this time with these debates trying to gin up basically never-Trump and anti-Trump sentiment and to spread that nationwide.
And my strongest recommendation for President Trump, he should not do any debates whatsoever with the RNC and I would say, even stay away from town halls – particularly ones put on by Fox.
I would stay away from all of that.
Right now, you’re kind of on a roll. Keep grinding. Don’t, don’t give these guys any oxygen.
You definitely don’t want to give them any platform whatsoever to spread their poison. So I think Ronna McDaniel’s got to go. I’m glad that you’re stepping up and taking leadership in this.
I think she’s gone the moment President Trump says she has to be replaced.
John Fredericks: The next day? I mean, she’s gone the next day.
But there’s no apparatus to get her out of there if he doesn’t do that. He put her in there. He kept her there. And so if he says, hey, it’s time for change. He’s got to do it now. So when you get to that meeting, you have the structure in place, 168 are there, you can elect a new chair and turn this thing around because her performance, I mean, it’s pitiful.
There’s no money. They’re broke. They can’t raise funds. They’re rudderless. They have no mail-in ballot plan. They have no game plan. They have nothing.
Steve Bannon: They have done something. And that is they’ve spent all their time and effort and money putting on these debates to highlight the never-Trump and the anti-Trump sentiment – it’s quite obvious what they’ve done.
That, to me, is what is totally unforgivable.
Because we argued about this with people that we know quite well, a friend of yours and mine, Dave Bossie, and these others, saying you’re not helping things here. The Democrats ain’t having any debates, right?
They know how to run things. And President Trump is essentially an incumbent here. The 2020 election was stolen. If you don’t think it’s stolen, you should move on. Right? And you shouldn’t use a platform and take people’s money. And that’s why I’m so glad that The Deplorables have cut off the RNC.
RNC has no cash.
So right now, President Trump has so many burdens on him. He can’t do it all. Nobody’s got shoulders that big.
This legal stuff is you know, but look – in this month alone, now we have these massive Supreme Court filings and arguments, which he has an argument on this whole immunity thing, I think, on the 9th, these whole filings of the 14th Amendment.
These are expensive, they’re time-consuming, he’s got to focus on it.
He’s also got the closing arguments on trying to steal his business on, I think, the 11th.
He’s then got this drummed-up defamation suit.
You can’t expect him to do everything.
The RNC has to be a robust platform.
It can be a robust platform under new leadership. People want to make it work, but when you see where they spend their time and money and, and, and flitting around with the mainstream media, which all hates Trump; giving a platform to all the anti-Trump poison – the Nikki Haley’s of the world, and the Ron DeSantis’ of the world, and particularly the Chris Christies of the world, to sit there and essentially defame President Trump at these debates? It’s not acceptable.
All President Trump has got to say is the word – boom, ‘She’s got to be replaced,’ and people will figure out how to get that done with the delegates, etc.
But he’s got to step up and do this. And, quite frankly, we need a robust RNC going into this, so it’s gotta be done. It also would take a burden off him.
I think right now his team has got to be figuring out how do we take burdens off of President Trump and let him focus on the main event, which is the complete takedown of Joe Biden’s illegitimate regime. I mean, that should be his focus. And right now, he’s got the whole world on his shoulders.
