Interesting post. I’ve been a Bannon fan for a long time, then a Trump booster from the first day he stepped onstage at a debate, I saw them as a team. Man of action plus man of deep political knowledge. I like the combination.
If all you say about Bannon is true, I feel slightly better about his leaving. Slightly.
Unfortunately, most people are unaware of these facts about Bannon since they only really started paying attention to Breitbart after the nomination process was over.
I was aware the whole time and have followed Bannon for quite some time.
I liked Andrew Breitbart, but Bannon is no Breitbart and has instead operated like someone who uses Conservatism as a means to promote their own fame or special interests (so basically just like the majority of “conservatives,” from Glenn Beck, Ted Cruz, all the way down to National Review and Ben Shapiro). Ethics and even basic reporting of facts takes a step back from these ego trips or special interests, though we are fortunate that whenever a “conservative” goes on an ego trip, it’s usually—USUALLY—a positive thing for us, at least in the case of Breitbart.
But eventually the interests of the Conservative Pundit’s Ego and the interests of the Country at large diverges, and things like this happen.
