‘Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws’: Meet the Characters Behind Bannon’s ‘WarRoom’
Rob Bluey /
Stephen K. Bannon is set to be released from federal prison on Tuesday, ending his 120-day sentence for contempt of Congress.
That same day, a new book chronicling Bannon’s hit show, “WarRoom,” makes its debut.
The timing is purely coincidental, but there’s perhaps no better way to celebrate Bannon’s release than purchasing a copy of “Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws: A Pictorial History of WarRoom.”
Dan Fleuette is the mastermind behind the project, serving as both the author and photographer who spent years compiling the 464-page tome. Fleuette’s creation—done in partnership with Skyhorse Publishing—tells the stories of courageous leaders who’ve waged fights against the powerful Washington establishment and cultural elites in America.
“They’ve lost their jobs; sometimes, their marriages. They’ve been debanked, they’ve been canceled, the whole gamut of things,” Fleuette told me. “And they’ve willingly stood up against that, and said, ‘I’m not doing this. This is not right. I need to take a stand. And if it’s not me, who’s it going to be? How am I going to face my kids when they ask me questions when they get older?’”
Bannon, of course, is the most prominent example. President Joe Biden’s weaponized Justice Department politically persecuted Bannon, taking him off the air in the critical months before the 2024 presidential election.
In addition to Bannon, Fleuette’s book features other big-name rebels, such as Tucker Carlson, British Member of Parliament Nigel Farage, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and also the “posse” backstage who make the show run.
A book review from Kari Donovan sums it up well:
This book bridges the gap between aesthetic appeal and intellectual challenge, capturing a moment in America that will be remembered long after the headlines fade. It’s a coffee table book that not only starts conversations, but also engages in ongoing political and cultural dialogue—a piece of history wrapped in provocative visuals and a rebellious spirit.
