He's been in contact with Epstein, his names appears in the files (though, to my knowledge nothing directly incriminating), he's a Trump lackey and a Fascist who seems to have no qualms about deleting the constitution in order to establish a Fascist Neo-feudalisim.
Despite being a person that any civilized society would have seen tried and hang for sedition, I haven't seen any 'pedophile apologist' material.
But, this is social media in 2026. Once a person is labeled 'bad', no amount of lying, bad faith framing or misinformation is off limits. Any attempt to correct any misinformation is attacked and framed as if the person is 'defending '.
So, to my knowledge, no he is not (though I have no read the millions of files personally). Despite being an otherwise odious human being who is working against the Constitution and despite running in the same social circles, I haven't seen him attempting to defend pedophilia.
I think potentially the comment above isn't questioning the pedophile part, but the apologist part. Has Bannon even acknowledged that there's anything wrong? An apologist has to at least try to defend something. He just acts as if nothings changed and everything is fine.
Oh yeah, I was only talking about positive statements. I don't think that the factual record (not the social media propaganda spin show) contains anything like that.
I am not even remotely defending this man, I believe that he's guilty of far worse things than pedophilia apology. I just don't know of any positive statements that he has made on the topic.
