Bannon “Increasingly Isolated” As Breitbart’s War On McMaster Backfires

Jon Government

First it was Preibus, then Kushner and now General H. R. McMaster. Breitbart has seemingly waged war on many of President Trump’s closest advisors over the past several months but it seems that the only person they’re actually hurting is their former Executive Chair, Steve Bannon. As Politico notes this morning, whether true or not, every time Breitbart drops a negative article on the White House, all eyes turn to Bannon.
‘Fair or not, common sense would dictate that Steve Bannon has reach and influence and communication with these alt-right platforms whose editorial bent more often than not, aligns with Steve’s agenda,’ said Kurt Bardella, a former Breitbart spokesperson. ‘I think [the stories] gave ammunition to his detractors internally, to either ID him or his people as part of the problem.’ ‘The guy is desperately trying to lay low and keep his fights from spilling out into the public,’ said one White House official. ‘Because he knows that he gets blamed.’
A White House spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment. Bannon declined to comment.
