The GP is not supporting violence, but is underestimating the consequences of a surprising percentage of the population having mental health issues (over 1% of the U.S. population has Schizophrenia, for instance) and 10% of the population is at or below 10th percentile intelligence. Most of us understand the hyperbole, but for those who don't, the consequences are deadly.
Bannon wasn't calling for violence, but way too many people would clearly interpret it as such, and that has serious consequences.

Given my layman's understanding of schizophrenia, it strikes me as particularly irresponsible for Bannon to take the paranoid delusions he peddles and mix in this violent hyperbole.
