Ironically, to me the Sartre quote better applies to your own comment than Bannon's bit.
Perhaps this is the rhetorical version of "the dress". (We seem to be stuck in general in some sort of political version of the dress.)

It is a call to violence. He is saying that these people deserved to be killed for what they have done to Trump. That in his estimation, the world would be a better place if someone were to kill Fauci and Wray as examples to the rest of Washington.
Sure, he's not really suggesting that he would actually do it, but he is certainly asking someone to.
I'm not a fan of vigilante justice in general, but at least the targets in the "punch a nazi" case have confessed, and the punishment called for isn't death.
However, I do not believe that posting "punch a nazi" is a conservative enough position given that the standard of evidence for labelling someone a nazi, in practice, is that they disagree with you on the internet.

It's hard for me to believe that someone can watch that and think that Bannon is literally suggesting we put Fauci's head on a pike, when it's clearly intended to be a metaphor.
If I get exasperated with this conversation and say something like "kill me now," I guess you'd call the suicide hotline?
