Steve Bannon has been running his mouth about what happened during his time at the White House… and things are getting kinda weird.
I honestly have no idea what to make of this… I don’t even know if I believe it.
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon continues to throw bombs at Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner in a new interview – as he fuels his war with the GOP establishment and plots his own political future.
Bannon got pushed out of the White House in August, but has continued to push back on rivals.
‘He’s like an 11-year-old child,’ Bannon joked to a friend in November, Vanity Fair reported.
Why is he doing this?
Of his own contentious White House role after helping guide Trump to the White House, he said: ‘I realize in hindsight I was just a staffer, and I’m not a good staffer. I had influence, I had a lot of influence, but just influence.
What did you THINK you were, Bannon? YOU were not elected to be the president. Donald Trump was. You know that, right?
Then things get REALLY weird…
In the spring, when a Bannon-Kushner feud and battle for influence was at its height, the president called Bannon, Kushner, and Ivanka Trump into the White House to try to resolve the situation.
The president’s daughter blamed Bannon for leaks.
‘She’s the queen of leaks,’ Bannon shot back, according to the story. ‘You’re a f****** liar!’ Ivanka Trump reportedly responded.
Bannon said of Kushner, a wealthy Manhattanite who like Trump was born into a real estate business: ‘He doesn’t know anything about the hobbits or the deplorables,’ a label Trump supporters have embraced. ‘The railhead of all bad decisions is the same railhead: Javanka,’ he said.
Ohhhh boy. Oh boy. What? Uuuugh.
Then he goes on to complain about the Roy Moore thing…
Bannon got behind the doomed effort to try to get Roy Moore elected to an Alabama Senate seat. Kushner got behind incumbent Senator Luther Strange, and prevailed, Bannon said.
Trump ‘momentarily has lapses when he’s convinced by people around him in the White House to do ridiculous things like support Big Luther Strange, another genius move by Jared,’ Bannon said. ‘But look at how many things he approved right after Alabama to get us back on board. I think the establishment has to understand something. Their day of running the Republican Party is over.’
YEAH, ok… and how well did they Roy Moore thing turn out?!
I don’t know about any of this… but it’s interesting that Bannon has the nerve to call President Trump a “child” while running his mouth about all of this.
