MAGA influencer Steve Bannon challenged Republicans Newt Gingrich and Grover Norquist after they called on President Donald Trump to extend tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
In a post to X this week, Gingrich suggested he had convinced President Donald Trump not to effectively hike taxes on the wealthy because it would doom Republicans’ election chances. Bannon, however, has maintained that a higher tax rate was needed to help balance the budget.
“This is being misreported by the conservative media and the Republican media. They’re saying all massive tax hikes for the wealthy,” Bannon said on his Wednesday War Room program. “No, it’s about massive tax cuts for working-class and middle-class people.”

“What you’re doing is not extending the tax cuts for the upper bracket,” he continued. “It’s called mathematics and — anybody! Grover Norquist, Newt Gingrich, all of you. Bring it, baby!”
“And bring some math when you come, okay? Bring some math when you come because the program that you guys have is not sustainable.”
