Bannon Points to DeSantis' 'Great Reception' at NFL Game Amid Trump Warning
Newsweek ^ | January 23, 2023 | Nick Mordowanec

Steve Bannon may already be picking sides in a potential 2024 Republican presidential race between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.

This past weekend Bannon, the one-time close adviser and confidant of Trump, touted an appearance made by the Florida governor at a postseason NFL game. While praising who many in the GOP believe could be the next president, Bannon also expressed disdain towards his former boss closely unifying with Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican.

"I have no earthly idea why [Graham's] around [former] President Trump," Bannon said regarding Trump's campaign event on his War Room program. "He's a cancer. He is a cancer, that's metastasizing. President Trump's gotta be warned. There's nothing good that comes from having [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell's mini-me, the snake, Lindsey Graham around you at all."

Meanwhile, Bannon also posted on his Gettr account the "great reception" DeSantis received on Saturday while at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars in a playoff game.  A video circulated on Twitter of a casually-dressed DeSantis walking on the field before the game, shaking hands with fans of different teams.

Nikki Haley is a not an option.

Tim Scott endorsed Lisa Murkowski, which tells you what kind of “ conservative “ he is.

“And Trump is having a rally with Lindsey Graham who will be endorsing him.”

Lindsay Graham does whatever he thinks will benefit Lindsay, or get him media coverage, in the moment. He has no core beliefs and principles. He is a lesser clone of his mentor John McCain.

Lindsay’s current lean toward Trump will evaporate in a heartbeat if Lindsay sees and advantage somewhere else. Lest we forget Lindsay’s behavior in the weeks after January 6 when he though Trump was politically dead forever: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lindsey-graham-donald-trump-25th-amendment_n_6233091de4b009ab92f3fb89

Perhaps, but Trump could’ve taken his endorsement when it came but he also chose to invite him to the rally. Trump likes many swamp critters.

Ever since we learned he was leaking stories to the MSM while in Trumps cabinet, I have had some disdain for him.

I eased up some and forgave him for apologizing and continual supporting Trump, but now that gnawing feeling in my lower back tells me I was right, he is a back stabber.

Plus, I hate Brietbart’s site, too many adds, and it's a headache to get around them. Slows everything down.

Steve Bannon was just stating the obvious. Trump should stay far away from Lindsey “The Snake” Graham and DeSantis got a great reception.

Including one young boy in Kansas City Chiefs' garb clearly shouting to Governor DeSantis, "Run for president! Run for president!"
