If you’ve ever played Red Dead Redemption, you probably lassoed people, thrown them on a railroad track, and watched a train run them over. It was an excellent way to deal with a posse of bounty hunters that went after you and lost. That is essentially what has happened to Steve Bannon. The Trump Administration laid into Bannon, not only saying he’s lost his mind, but also diminished the accomplishments Bannon claims.
Here’s the full statement:
Statement from the President of the United States
Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.
Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn’t represent my base—he’s only in it for himself.
Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was. It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books.
We have many great Republican members of Congress and candidates who are very supportive of the Make America Great Again agenda. Like me, they love the United States of America and are helping to finally take our country back and build it up, rather than simply seeking to burn it all down.
To many conservatives, this is a welcomed victory. To liberals, this is Russian conspiracy fodder. After all, Steve Bannon did just switch sides on the Russian Farce issue. So Trump can expect that headache for weeks to come. Donald Trump Jr. went even more personal because Bannon’s comments were aimed at him as well.
Wow, Just looked at the comments section on Breitbart. Wow. When Bannon has lost Breitbart, he’s left with . . . umm, nothing.

It would be amazing if there would have been a nice simple path to keeping this seat with a nice 30 point margin… #thankssteve https://t.co/uB7DXMZjiH

Steve had the honor of working in the White House & serving the country. Unfortunately, he squandered that privilege & turned that opportunity into a nightmare of backstabbing, harassing, leaking, lying & undermining the President. Steve is not a strategist, he is an opportunist

Ben Shapiro has an especially scathing response to Bannon.
Perspectives
Ben Shapiro Daily Wire: #WAR: Bannon Goes To War With Trump, Calls Trump-Russia Campaign Activities ‘Treasonous’
None of this is a surprise coming from a leech on the ass of power, a man who rode Michele Bachmann’s coattails to Sarah Palin’s coattails to Andrew Breitbart’s coattails to Donald Trump’s and the Mercer family’s coattails. It’s also not a shock from a fellow whose only contribution to the White House was apparently leaking regularly to reporters for The New York Times. Bannon’s an ambitious fellow, and his connection to power has now been reportedly cut off on both the monetary side (the going rumor has it that the Mercers aren’t funding his side projects anymore) and the political side (he’s not on good terms with the Trump White House, either). That means he has to build a brand of his own. So far, his branding isn’t going well — it turns out endorsing a credibly accused child molester and then utilizing your publication to dig up dirt on the accusers doesn’t do much for your Q rating. So now Bannon, who always had more balls than brains, is turning on the hand that fed him.

The Hill: Trump feud puts pressure on Bannon candidates
Great America Alliance (GAA), the super PAC that has operated as a vehicle for Bannon’s endorsement and sports a top Bannon ally as an advisor, issued a statement noting that Bannon and the group “did not always agree on candidates or issues.”
“Our top priority is supporting President Trump and advancing an America First agenda,” Ed Rollins, the group’s chairman, said in the statement. “Whether or not Bannon shares this priority, it won’t change our focus one bit.”
Great America Alliance’s statement could provide some cover for endorsed candidates who don’t want to be tied to Bannon right now or seen as opposing Trump.
Rep. Evan Jenkins (R-W.V.), who is facing Bannon-endorsed state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey in the primary, became the first candidate to publicly seize on the feud.
“After Steve Bannon’s vicious attacks on President Trump and his family, Patrick Morrisey should immediately disavow Bannon’s support,” Jenkins said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Reactions
In the last 24 hours, Trump has basically told Kim Jong Un and Steve Bannon to go f*ck themselves.
He’s not going to put up with anybody’s bullshit and this is why people love him.

Steve Bannon tried to do to the Trump presidency what he did to Breitbart News. Trump’s nuclear button was bigger.

Final Thoughts
These events revealed that a lot of our assumptions about Steve Bannon were incorrect. He’s not a mastermind. He wasn’t that close to Trump. He’s not a Party Boss (although I mentioned that he sucked as one). Steve Bannon is just a brown-nosing sycophant and now he just got explosive diarrhea in his face. People won’t want to be around that stink, which is a welcomed victory for conservatives in 2018. People don’t want to read stink either, so we shall wait and see what happens to Breitbart.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
As much as you or Trump or others want to bad-mouth Bannon, his history is still out there and cannot be re-written.
Trump nominated him for the Senior Advisor position after Bannon turned BrietBart.com into TrumpBart.com and went on the attack against any republican that dared to bow insufficiently low to Trump.
Now Trump acts like Bannon was no help and unimportant to his campaign while Bannon and Breitbart was THE major web presence supporting Trump and continued to do so long after the inauguration.
Your article shows me that you have chosen to “side” with Trump, ignoring truth, history, and decency.
I have nothing nice to say about Bannon, but that does NOT mean that I support your revisionist history that repeats Trump’s WH revisions claiming that Bannon never held a significant post in the WH, that Bannon was NOT a significant contributor to Trump’s planning and execution in his early days. (Bannon was widely credited with having written Trump’s first travel ban EO for instance.)
Now that Trump has chosen ot lash out at bannon, you and many others in the formerly-conservative media have decided to suspend your own experience in favor of Trump’s revised history, not realizing that in furthering Trump’s revised history against all Republican and conservative dissent, you are hardening the resolve of true conservatives to never again vote Republican and you are aiding Trump’s hostile takeover of the US Government and his attempts to intimidate all those that would oppose his dictatorship.
I have nothing good to say about Bannon, but I will also not agree, admit, or go along with Trump’s revisionist history where Bannon was only ever a “water boy” and never a significant part of Trump’s campaign / Administration.
The sooner Trump is impeached, the safer our Republic will be and the sooner our country can unite and return to greatness.
