I think Bannon is a patriot, too. I think Moore was a lousy candidate after the Hannity interview. And Hannity didn’t amvush him. Those were straight forward questions avout the accusations which were the reason for the interview in the first place.
Bannon had to drive on or ask him to step down. Sounds like Bannon chose drive on. I think that was a big mistake.
What else could be done? If Moore stepped down it would have empowered more ugly bitches to come out and make up fake claims about sexual harassment. And if he pulled out it was too close to election time. A replacement would have lost as well.
