Abcarian: Steve Bannon discovers the hard way that defying Congress is no joke.
This is part 7 of a 12 part series on Steve Bannon’s tenure as chief strategist and senior counselor for President Donald Trump.
In part 1, Stephen K. Bannon, Jr. explained how he went from a relatively obscure political commentator to an influential political advisor and senior counselor for the new president.
Part 2 focused on Bannon’s rise to prominence and what he hopes to achieve in the White House.
Part 3 examined the political implications for the Trump administration, a conversation in which Bannon said he would not “have a problem with the president of the United States going after me if I go too far.”
Part 4 examined Bannon’s recent comments about President Donald Trump’s presidency and how they differed from his early comments on the campaign trail and his recent comments defending his boss.
Part 5 examined how Bannon helped Trump with his inaugural speech and how he expects to use his influence in the future to “take down” Democrats.
Part 6 examined Bannon’s comments on how certain media outlets are controlled by Democrats.
Part 7 concentrated on how Bannon learned the hard way that defying Congress was no joke.
I recently asked Bannon to expand on his thoughts about why the media is controlled by the left.
“There’s a lot of things the media is controlled by the left and the center. When you control the media, you control the country. That’s how they roll. And the country knows.”
Bannon also shared what he hopes to accomplish in the White House.
“One thing I would like to accomplish is to take down the Democrats. That’s the first order of business. Then take down the establishment. We know the establishment left. We know the establishment right. We know who the establishment is. We know who the establishment isn’t. That’s how they roll.”
