Steve Bannon is an anarchist as are most of the people he attracts. They are extremists and are not widely accepted in a democracy. Match them up with war weapons and there is daily, violent deaths.
But, Bannon will call out whatever person he wants to intimidate from his 15 minutes of fame, because, he believes in the Strong Man paradigm not the Rule of Law. Hence, his verbal assault of Chairperson Thompson.
Chairman Thompson is viewed as the most powerful of those accusing Bannon. Hence, strongman Thompson has to be talked down. Trump calls people faux names for the same purpose. Everyone can play that game.
Just that simple.
