Former allies and associates of ousted White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon say that his triumphant tone last week in which he crowed that his hands were back on my weapons at f*cking killing machine Breitbart.com was empty bluster.
According to Lloyd Grove at The Daily Beast, Bannons return to the white nationalist hub was anything but triumphant and that the websites former CEO only returned to its helm because he had no other options.
Bannon had no other place to go except for Breitbart, said conservative pundit and former Breitbart News editor Ben Shapiro, who left the website in 2016 over its fawning tone over then-nominee Donald Trump. Shapiro has emerged as a critic of Breitbart News and its decision to become Trumps Pravda. Bannon, Shapiro said, is not going to be the head of a think tank. Hes not going to be a personality or a talk radio host. Hes not qualified for any of those things.
The former Goldman Sachs executive and B-movie producers sharp elbows during his time in Washington have virtually ruined Bannons chances of landing a sinecure think tank position and even allies are skeptical that he has what it takes to build out a TV brand associated with Breitbart News.
