Washington: Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has vowed to “go to war” with President Donald Trump’s opponents in the media and on the Capitol Hill after he was fired from his job.
Bannon was fired on Friday and just hours after his ouster, Breitbart News announced that he was back as executive chairman of the ultra-conservative website.
The former Trump adviser left Breitbart in 2016 to join Trump’s presidential campaign, the Washington Post reported.
Breitbart itself carried the headline: “Populist Hero” Stephen K Bannon Returns Home to Breitbart.
After his sacking, Bannon said that he feels “jacked up” and is preparing for a fight for the agenda that won Trump the election. “I’ve got my hands back on my weapons,” he said, “it’s Bannon the Barbarian.”
“I am definitely going to crush the opposition. There’s no doubt. And now I’m about to go back, knowing what I know, and we’re about to rev that machine up.” — IANS
