Bloomberg -- Bannon Says He's `Going to War for Trump' After White House Exit


Removing Steve Bannon or other alt-right factions from the White House is ridiculous. The problem is Trump. The President is a white nationalist and racist, and he believes that he is superior to others. Hate groups are Trump’s people. The only way to solve the problem is to remove Donald Trump from office.

The problem was never just Steve Bannon. It was and always will be Donald Trump, -- Senator Bernie Sanders

Ousted White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon returned to the conservative Breitbart News website on Friday and said he’ll be going to war for President Donald Trump, vowing to intensify from the outside the fight he has waged against opponents of his brand of populist conservatism.

“’If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America, Bannon said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg News hours after his departure was announced.

Bannon led the evening editorial meeting at Breitbart, where he resumed his role as executive chairman, the website said in a statement.

He left the White House earlier Friday, ending a controversial tenure as the administration is engulfed in a storm over the president’s remarks on violence in Virginia. Bannon’s departure was agreed on mutually with new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.
