Steve Bannon Gives Bizarre Interview Amid Departure Rumors
He called white supremacists “clowns,” despite having once run a website that caters to them.
White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon gave a strange interview with a progressive publication amid rumors that he’s on the outs with President Donald Trump.
The American Prospect co-editor Robert Kuttner said that Bannon called him out of the blue following a column the journalist had written about Trump and North Korea.
Kuttner said that Bannon unexpectedly praised the column, and outlined his plan for dealing with North Korea’s nuclear threats as well as China’s economic prowess. Bannon contradicted Trump, saying that “there’s no military solution” to North Korea, despite Trump’s repeated threats to attack the isolated nation.
When the subject of the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, came up, Bannon dismissed the group as “a collection of clowns” and claimed that the “media plays it up too much.”
