Steve Bannon urged President-elect Donald Trump to make rescinding a Presidential Medal of Freedom to “demonic individual” George Soros a day one priority once he’s sworn back in.

On his WarRoom podcast on Saturday, Bannon went off on Soros being included in a list of 19 individuals receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Joe Biden. Other honorees include Hillary Clinton, Denzel Washington, Michael J. Fox, and Anna Wintour. The full list can be found here.

Conservatives took to social media to vent their frustrations about Soros being honored by Biden. Bannon took things slightly further than most, recommending there be an “exorcism in the White House” once Trump is back in office. Billionaire Soros is often the target of his conservative outrage thanks to his far-left politics and his expansive donations to both national and local elections.

“The demon himself is going to be in the White House. They have to have — the first thing President Trump should do now, given what Biden’s doing today with Soros and Clinton, we should have an exorcism,” Bannon said. “I think you have to have a Catholic priest and, I don’t know, bring a Protestant minister, bring whoever you want, bring a Shaman in, I don’t know. Let’s have an exorcism. You’ve got to drive the demons out.”

Bannon more seriously recommended Trump rescind Soros’s medal right

after he’s sworn in, recommending a team be put together to “rip it right from his frickin’ neck.”

Bannon argued:

My recommendation to President Trump is that you notify today that you’re going to sign an executive order on Monday, one of the very first actions is to rescind the Presidential Medal of Freedom that’s being given to George Soros today rescinded. They’re going to say, well, you can’t rescind it, okay, well, fine, try me, and send a team to track down Soros and take the medal back. It is a disgrace that a demonic individual like that has gone out of his way to try to destroy this country, destroy this country would actually be given [the medal] to to mock this Constitutional Republic, to mock this Constitution, which he hates and is dedicated his life to destroying. That we would be presenting him, awarding him the highest civilian honor that you could give — President Trump today ought to come out and say, hey, I’m putting out an executive order.

Bannon added Trump should have the medal taken whether people are telling him he can or not. The medal, according to Bannon, should be rescinded as a “symbol.” There is currently no process for revoking a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award. There has, however, been calls to revoke medals from controversial individuals in the past, including Bill Cosby

.

“Send a team up to track Soros down and take the medal, rip it right off his neck. And then melt down, and maybe it may be cut up in pieces and send it to the families of the 13 that died at the Abbey Gate, the brave heroes, the young men and women from places like Laredo, Texas,” Bannon said. “Do that! Rip it off his frickin neck! You want to play smash mouth, let’s play smash mouth. If you want to get cut, Biden, we can get cute.”
