Steve Bannon BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Steve Bannon stole the spotlight at Turning Point USAs AmericaFest in Phoenix this week, igniting a fiery MAGA civil war with his scorching onstage takedown of Ben Shapiro. According to Fox News, Bannon branded Shapiro a cancer that spreads and metastasizes, accusing him of envying Charlie Kirk and plotting to seize control of the organization while pushing Israel-first priorities over America. Axios reports Bannon lowered his mic dramatically after the bombast, telling the cheering crowd of over 25,000 this feud signals no more tiptoeing around tough issues. CBS News captured Bannon claiming Shapiro acts as a PR flack for Jeffrey Epstein, while Times of Israel noted his aside that progressive Jewish billionaires are Israels real internal enemy, though he insisted the American right backs the Jewish state.

The clashes, unfolding amid the conferences chaos post-Kirk assassination, pit Bannon and Tucker Carlson against Shapiro in a raw debate over antisemitism, Nick Fuentes, and US Israel policy. Middle East Eye details Bannon tying it to 2028 politics, framing it as a proxy battle with VP JD Vance in mind, as Erika Kirk endorsed Vance for the next White House run. ABC News highlights how Bannon lumped Shapiro with the Israel-first crowd, escalating rifts that Megyn Kelly said predate Kirks death.

No fresh business moves or social media buzz surfaced in the past few days, though his WarRoom podcast hums on via Apple Podcasts. House Oversight docs from December 2025 revealed old Bannon-Epstein texts on legal maneuvers, per Wikipedia, but thats archival heat. This AmericaFest outburst could scar conservative alliances long-term, positioning Bannon as the unfiltered MAGA brawler amid Trumpworlds fractures. Word count: 378
