Breitbart's game here is to turn Trump supporters against Trump so that the globalist policies Breitbart supported just one year ago are back on the table. Outside of Trump, there is no one who is going to fight for the border wall or true immigration (merit) reform.

Are you a DACA transplant? I mean besides the fact that Breibart, Bannon, Gorka, and many others there are populists and definitely not globalists; you seem to have an extremely vested position on this issue.

Is your wife, husband, or one of their or your relatives an illegal alien living in America currently?

I categorically disagree with your premise Breitbart is trying to turn anyone against Trump. There's a lot at play right now so they nor us really know what's going on. Some insiders might but other than telling us what they want us to know right now; the rest is pure speculation.

May I recommend you down the rest of that bottle of Jim Beam and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow will look better.

Only his current incarnation. Bannon's Breitbart spearheaded Ted Cruz's immigration rehabilitation. I can show you the articles where Breitbart claimed, on many occasions, that Cruz never voted or supported greencard or H1B increases, then I can show you where Cruz did just that, even shooting down a Jeff Sessions amendment on the grounds that restricting greencards was unAmerican. I can also show you where Breitbart called Marco Rubio a liar (technically he is, but not on the subject I am about to reference) for saying Cruz supported legalization of illegals. I can show you where Cruz not only supported legalization during the Gang of Eight fight, which many FReepers here blamed on just BS he was telling the Dems to "poison" the bill, but I can also show you his statements in support of legalization even AFTER the fight was over, and as late as 2015. Cruz couldn't even give Chuck Todd a straight answer when asked if he would rule out permanent legal status for illegals, since Cruz, in fact, called permanent legal status for the 40-50 million illegals a moderate third-way. Cruz even criticized Romney on this point.

A lot of FReepers deny this stuff to this day simply because they are ignorant of the sources.

Now, either Breitbart's people are shitty at basic research that took me, at the time, just 10 or 20 minutes of checking, or else Breitbart was willing to lie to their audience--not even in opinion pieces, but in straight up news articles--in order to shove Ted Cruz onto the Republican electorate.

Meanwhile, Breitbart's coverage during the primary could hardly have been considered "Pro-Trump." It only got that reputation because Ben Shapiro is a neurotic nitwit who wanted Breitbart to be 100% anti-Trump, instead of 50% anti-Trump, with the "Pro-Trump" articles basically implying that Trump isn't "really a conservative, but he's great on immigration! JUST LIKE CRUZ!!! Gee whiz, what a great guy Trump is! Cruz is just as good on all that immigration stuff. Yup! That Trump is really something!"

And this systematic evidence of straight up lying on Breitbart isn't even the tip of the iceberg. We got Breitbart taking dirty money to push candidates. We got Breitbart conspiring with Mark Levin's BS "Conservative Review" to shove Levin's fake Conservative ratings into every "objective" news article. They gave Cruz even better numbers than Sessions, even though Sessions was better than Cruz on basically every issue we consider conservative! THEN Breitbart even GAVE website poll data to Cruz's campaign, not to mention used Breitbart email databases and Breitbart email accounts to send unsolicited Cruz propaganda.

So, you guys sitting here telling me, oh, Bannon is such a good conservative, honest guy, hates them globalists, what I say in return is: Only because people have really short memories and allowed Bannon to re-invent himself as a Trump supporter.

All those stories about Bannon supposedly trying to take credit for Trump's election?

There's no doubt in my mind they're all true, because this is what "Conservatives" do in our day and age.
