Steve Bannon
Despite all that had transpired Bannon said he still supported Trump. During a radio call he told a caller “the President of the United States is a great man. You know I support him day in and day out.”
Bannon had also claimed that a meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Russia was treasonous.
The White House responded to his statement. Sarah Huckabee Sanders did a briefing condemning such comments.
She said “that is a ridiculous accusation and one that I’m pretty sure we’ve addressed many times from here before…. I’d refer you back to the comments he made previously on ’60 Minutes’ where he called the collusion with Russia about this President a total farce.”
“Going after the President’s son and in an absolutely outrageous and unprecedented way is probably not the best way to curry favor with anybody,” she added.
Sam Nunberg said “the only candidate who could have won this past election on the message of populism and conservative nationalism is Donald J. Trump.”
“However, at the time Steve took a formal role, the campaign was in dire straits, and I don’t believe the President would have been able to pull off that upset at the end without Steve Bannon,” he added.
