Former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon interviewed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who appeared live from New Hampshire on Tuesday, the day on which the state held it’s first-in-the-nation primary.
But Greene wasn’t the only one who appeared during the segment.
Visible behind the Georgia Republican was Democratic presidential candidate Vermin Supreme, who might best be described as the documentary “Who Is Vermin Supreme?” did in 2014, as a “political prankster.”

In this case, his “prank” was mostly limited to standing in a window behind Greene, wearing his signature boot as a hat and lifting up his shirt to show his nipple.
Bannon had asked Greene for her “sense of what’s going on out there in the field” when Supreme appeared in the window behind her.
“Well, I think New Hampshire is going to show the country that we are going to elect President Trump in this primary,” she said.
Meanwhile, behind her, Supreme was showing the country his right breast.

It was difficult to tell if the straight-faced Bannon saw Supreme behind her, but Greene herself appeared oblivious to his presence throughout the short clip.
“Tonight, the primary is officially over for Nikki Haley, whether she’s ready to admit it or not,” Greene predicted, somewhat prematurely.

Yes: 99% (240 Votes)
No: 1% (2 Votes)
At that point, it appeared that someone had spoken to Supreme and told him to stop exposing himself, which he did, holding his hand out in a placating gesture and then showing a V with two fingers on each hand to communicate “peace.”
“She’s going to go to South Carolina and that will be the end of her political career, Steve,” Greene went on. “She’s going to be defeated tonight, but if she continues on, all the voters across the country are going to say, ‘Never Nikki, never again.'”
Greene did not explain what she meant by “never again,” since Haley has not been president or a presidential nominee before, but by that time in the interview, it’s fairly likely that more people were paying more attention to Supreme than Greene anyway.
Supreme is running for the Democratic presidential nomination this election cycle, and actually picked up 0.6 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s Democratic primary with about 94 percent of the votes counted, according to The New York Times.

He has run in every presidential election since 1992, according to Film Daily, identifying variously as an independent, anarchist, Democrat, Libertarian and Republican. He previously sat on the Judicial Committee of the Libertarian National Committee.
His campaign promises typically include instituting a mandatory tooth brushing law, increasing zombie apocalypse awareness, taxpayer funding of time travel research, and giving a free pony to every American.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
