Presidential son-in-law and former presidential advisor Jared Kushner spoke out about his often troubled relationship with ex-chief strategist Steve Bannon, whom he likened to a 'suicide bomber.'
Kushner, speaking on The Hugh Hewitt Show Friday, said that Bannon 'blew up' before father-in-law President Donald Trump fired the former Breitbart chief in 2017, according to Mediaite.
He said: 'Steve really defeated himself, you know. His head got so big he was just doing all these crazy things, and the ultimately just you know, like a suicide bomber, blew up'.
The former White House senior advisor, 41, referred to Bannon as a 'cancer' and a 'malignant' figure in his new book, Breaking History, which he spent much of the interview promoting.
Kushner told the president in an excerpt obtained by DailyMail.com that despite their feud, he didn't oppose a presidential pardon for Bannon, who had been charged with a fraud scheme related to an effort to raise private funds to build the border wall.
'Steve was incredibly destructive to your first year in office, but he was there for you on the first campaign when few were,' Kushner told the president, he writes. ...
Kushner believes it stems from Bannon's early support for his father-in-law: 'I think if you look at Steve … Steve was actually with us very early. He was great on the campaign. He was a great partner when it got to the White House. I think maybe the power got to his head a little bit or he just – it was being more of what he was.'
The Affinity Partners founder added that Bannon was 'undermining us, knife-fighting with colleagues and it just wasn't helping us implement the agenda.'

If there were a true choice to be made between the two Candidates from Florida, it would be a tough choice. I love Trump, but DeSantis has the edge just based on his personnel choices. Plus we need 8 years of a President to fix this mess. Either one deserves my vote and yours too. I am MAGA, not a Republican any longer. I hope the movement is big enough to survive POTUS45/46 retirement, or even the end of POTUS47’s Presidency.
I knew Pence and Kushner were backstabbers, hangers on along the way to power. It oozes from their demeanor, and actions.
Imagine a Presidency with Gen Michael Flynn still as a partner with Trump. We had it, until Pence lied and threw Flynn under the bus. Imagine Covid, without Kushner pushing the ideas of his “compatriots” onto his Father in Law. Trump should have hired Scott Atlas, fired Fauci, and Birx and led the way with an honest and Science based policy.
POTUS has one flaw, trust and loyalty. If you misplace who you give it to, wear your chain mail under that suit.
“Imagine a Presidency with Gen Michael Flynn still as a partner with Trump.”
That’s a great vision if Flynn is the badass I think he is. We need someone who’s tough as nails — and isn’t afraid of carrying out a little vengeance.
