Many of the War Room clips uploaded by candidates effectively circumvent YouTube’s already weak ban of the podcast and contain apparent violations by spreading election misinformation. Now, right-wing candidates at the local and national levels are flocking to Bannon’s show to promote their 2022 campaigns and uploading the clips to their own YouTube channels.

Many of the candidates Bannon throws his support behind and who appear on his show are linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory, which has also been banned on YouTube. Here are the GOP candidates using their War Room appearances to campaign for office on YouTube, totaling 191,173 views total:
