Stephen K. Bannon Attacks Trump’s Enemies
So Stephen Bannon decided he was going to let everybody know how he really felt about everybody in politics during a “60 Minutes” interview that aired this past Sunday. While Bannon pledged to support President Donald Trump from outside the White House, he held no punches regarding anyone else Bannon deemed as an idiot.
Bannon criticized the security advisers to President George W. Bush, he said Gary Cohn the President’s Chief Economic Adviser should resign because he broke ranks with the President, and aired the dirty laundry on why Chris Christie did not get a job within the President’s administration.
Bannon was never going to go quietly into the night. I had suspected all along he would support the President, but go after pretty much any and all who opposed the president. Many people thought that meant an all out assault on the democratic party and the left, but in reality the President’s biggest enemies are those within his own party. The President’s party has control of Congress and the Senate, and yet can get nothing passed. The Democrats don’t have to do anything.
Bannon’s AR-15’s of Conservative Justice are aimed straight at Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and all the Republican’s getting in the way of Trump/Bannon’s nationalist, populist, white people first agenda.
Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, left the White House last month vowing to support the man he helped get into the Oval Office and to savage those he saw as blocking Trump’s way.
In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Bannon exacted revenge on a host of people, both Trump supporters and advisors as well as outsiders who never warmed to the president during last year’s campaign.
Of House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Senate leader Mitch McConnell, who have tried to work with the president despite long-standing concerns: “They do not want Donald Trump’s populist, economic nationalist agenda to be implemented…It’s as obvious as night follows day.”
Of the national security team that helped the last Republican president, George W. Bush, and who have been critical of Trump: “I hold these people in contempt, total and complete contempt…They’re idiots and they’ve gotten us in this situation, and they question a good man like Donald Trump.” (Bannon mocked former secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, Vice President Dick Cheney and other national security advisors as the “geniuses” who embroiled the nation in war with Iraq and empowered China economically.)
Bannon saved his most scathing criticisms for those who he said had not been loyal to Trump despite ostensibly being part of his brain trust, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and the president’s chief economic advisor, Gary Cohn.
