Stephen K. Bannon Returns Home to Breitbart News
Breitbart ^ | 18 Aug 2017

Posted on 08/18/2017 3:38:06 PM PDT by mandaladon

Former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon returned as Executive Chairman of Breitbart News Friday afternoon and chaired the company’s evening editorial meeting. Ranked the #63 website in America by Amazon-owned ‪Alexa.com, and with the #13 Facebook page in the world, Breitbart News is considered the most influential populist website in the world.

“The populist-nationalist movement got a lot stronger today,” said Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow. “Breitbart gained an executive chairman with his finger on the pulse of the Trump agenda.”

Breitbart News CEO and President Larry Solov agreed.

“Breitbart’s pace of global expansion will only accelerate with Steve back,” said Solov. “The sky’s the limit.”

Bannon joined the Trump campaign on August 17, 2016 — nearly one year ago to the day of his return to Breitbart. He submitted his intention to leave the White House on August 7 of this year.

“White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Friday afternoon. “We are grateful for his service and wish him the best.”

The Drudge Report hailed Bannon as a “populist hero” who enjoyed an “impressive run” during his tenure as President Trump’s top White House strategist and campaign CEO.

"If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~I like that!

Bannon can do far more damage to the Democrats from outside the WH...

How many lib news outlets called him a white supramacist without any evidence? Bannon should choose a couple and sue them.

I agree. Within the White House, he needed to keep in the shadows (in his role) and was under the thumb of COS Kelly.

Back in his Breitbart role, he will be unchained and unleashed. Will be fun to watch.

He’s much more dangerous to the globalist Dems. RINOs, CEOs, and media there.

Surprised that they let him loose.

It was really crappy that they fired Milo.

I feel sure he won’t be back.

I agree. The dems should’ve been careful what they wished for.

This whole thing was clearly an orchestrated move. The day his departure is announced he shows up for Breitbart’s senior executive meeting? LOL.

Bannon says that he once confidently believed in the prospect of success for that version of the Trump presidency he now says is over. Asked what the turning point was, he says, “It’s the Republican establishment. The Republican establishment has no interest in Trump’s success on this. They’re not populists, they’re not nationalists, they had no interest in his program. Zero. It was a half-hearted attempt at Obamacare reform, it was no interest really on the infrastructure, they’ll do a very standard Republican version of taxes.

The mediots, rioting liberals and liberal mayors, who allow the rioting are in for some fun times from Bannon.

There will be zero mercy on the mediots and Never Trumpsters in Congress and Rino's in Bannon land.

Bannon has now entered a Free Fire Zone and will take Zero Prisoners!

So we know where Bannon stands. Breitbart’s been consistent all along.

What I’d like to know is, what in the heck is going on with Drudge? Drudge has been almost as bad as CNN or MSNBC lately. Non-stop links to leftist puke coming from NYTimes and WaPo.

I’ve been using a similar site instead. Much more reliable information:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The battle that must be won first is removing the Democrats in R jerseys. The enemy within is far more dangerous.

Start with the Amnesty Senators

Flake, Hatch, Heller and Corker in 2018

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022

That statement is much different than the people saying it was a planned move. Bannon left because he could no longer see the promises being fulfilled.

Exactly. We need a self-proclaimed pederast to make the case for our policies.
