Have ultimately been a decision that two men came to at the same time. Whether or not there was some thought, and if there was not consider about making the administrations life and the president s life more difficult, he might have been left it. Kelly was said to have delivered the news. It is unclear and unknown, its a wild card. He goes outside independently. Steve bannon is now a household name. There is people that will be
upset that he left this white house. I talked to a bannon ally earlier this week. They said we had a sense this is coming and we look at this white house now and we see new york democrats and generals. That is not what we worked for in 2016. Steve bannon is the leader of a coalition and it remains to be seen. Let me bring in jennifer reuben. The author of the post, so your paper is quoting friends of Steve Bannons assayi saying lo he can help the president s agenda from the outside, that things were not working on the inside. Gabe sherman reports something very
affiliated or associated with white nationalism on television to do analysis about immigration. i think the juxtaposition there is particularly disconcerting. he s who i m going to look to for compassionate perspective. donald trump is pandering to the most extreme people in his base that steve bannon represents. i think that will be a problem for them in 2018. it seems ago if, in the begins when president trump entered the white house, he did not believe in family separation when it came to separation, but steve miller got in his ears, and they earled that number jumped up and sudden they set our only option here is zero-tolerance. is this just a window into the thinking of the current white house and their policies on immigration by seeing steve bannon talking the way he is. certainly we know it wasn t
doesn t work? kat: this is for you. tuesday, september 12, at a bookstore nor you. near you. the announcement steve bannon was going to be a top advisor in this white house, i think people that were possibly willing to consider open-mindedness when it came to president trump immediately closed down. there s a narrow interpretation of what steve bannon represents. charlie: i will disagree a little bit. a little bit. some people mislabel steve bannon in a lot of different ways. being a white supremacist and racist. eboni: is that a mislabel? do you understand why based on some of the statements of headlines on breitbart that that s some of the headlines. you can talk about the alt-right, he talked about jews. daca never said anything like that.
personage of donald trump. he s lost moral authority internationally as well. we saw the business community, part of the spine of the republican party walk away. we ve seen every ceo. we ve seen evangelical leaders now. we see a president who is very, very isolated. what we see really is the crack-up of the coalition that elected donald trump. the fusion of the conservative party with this breitbart populism. and during the campaign, of course there were the dog whistles, the winks and the nods to these extremist elements that are now out fully in the sunlight. so what steve bannon represents is a real fundamental test and choice for the republican party. the republican party cannot remain in coalition and survive with neo-nazis, kkk, white supremacists, and their fellow
travelers and apologists. there s no room for them in the party. so this week the moral failure of the president, the moral equivalency between neo-nazis who venerate adolf hitler, who venerate the most murderous and brutal despotic and evil regime in all of history, you can t transact with them for political purposes. and what steve bannon represents is a populist wing of a coalition that winks and nods and it s okay to be with those people. they re expedient for the moment. this presents a profound moral test for the republican party. so, ali, i interpret these comments this way. let s say they have 12 days to avoid a government shutdown and a default on the full faith and credit of the united states. i see breitbart running editorials, pressuring trump to demand funding for the wall. if there s no funding for the
