Steve Bannon, the far-right political activist and former White House chief strategist to Donald Trump, issued a warning to Congress on Saturday as lawmakers resume discussions on a government funding bill.
The country narrowly avoided a government shutdown last month, after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy put forward a temporary stopgap bill to keep the federal government funded until mid-November. This came after weeks of intra-party conflict, with the further-right flank of the House GOP demanding major spending cuts in exchange for their support.

Now, both chambers of Congress are forging ahead with negotiations on a continuing resolution to fund the federal government, having lost precious time due to the speakership chaos. Taking to his official Gettr account on Saturday, Bannon issued a stern warning to congressional Republicans, imploring them to reject compromise and to shut the government down.
"Warning to House : NO CR [continuing resolution]..." Bannon wrote. "SHUT IT ALL DOWN !!!"

(13,609 posts)The disaffected Trumpers and He his orangeness are attempting to run government by threat. They're being successful when you consider who the Speaker is now.
