Steve Bannon returns to Breitbart after ouster from White House

That didn't take long.

Steve Bannon returned to Breitbart News as executive chairman on Friday following his ouster from the White House, the far-right website announced in a press release. Bannon chaired the outlet's evening editorial meeting, the press release added.

"I feel jacked up," Bannon told the Weekly Standard. "Now I'm free. I've got my hands back on my weapons. Someone said, 'it's Bannon the Barbarian.' I am definitely going to crush the opposition. There's no doubt. I built a f***ing machine at Breitbart. And now I'm about to go back, knowing what I know, and we're about to rev that machine up. And rev it up we will do."

Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow welcomed Bannon back in a statement, saying that Breitbart had "gained an executive chairman with his finger on the pulse of the Trump agenda."

President Trump fired Bannon earlier in the day, multiple White House officials told CNN.

What is odd is that Trump did not say or tweet a word about Bannon today. They can say what they want, but Bannon is going to try to bury the White House. And make no mistake, his "this Presidency is over" statement today was a warning shot.
