WASHINGTON — Stephen K. Bannon is stepping down from his post as executive chairman of Breitbart News, the company announced Tuesday.

Mr. Bannon’s departure, which was forced by a onetime financial patron, Rebekah Mercer, comes as Mr. Bannon remained unable to quell the furor over remarks attributed to him in a new book in which he questions President Trump’s mental fitness and disparages his elder son, Donald Trump Jr.

Mr. Bannon and Breitbart will work together on a smooth transition, a statement from the company’s chief executive, Larry Solov, said.

In the statement, Mr. Bannon added that he was “proud of what the Breitbart team has accomplished in so short a period of time in building out a world-class news platform.”

"A SINGLE donor."

She basically told Bannon, "I'm built for this sh!t!"

Learn from your oppressor: show NO mercy.

Politics is an extremely dirty game that few can play, much less master.

Nah, the rich folks have spoken. He thought the big money donors was going to take his side over the Presidents. I bet Bannon figured Trump’s Presidency is going down so why not hasten it and come out smelling like a bed of roses. He was wrong.

The moment Frankenstein became more valuable than Dr. Frankenstein.

Once Drumpf delivered on tax reform and filling the courts with racist conservative judges his worth skyrocketed past Bannons. Not for the toothless shit kicking bigoted base (as the narrative suggests) but for the billionaires cutting the checks. He put millions and billions back in their pocket in corporate tax cuts and death/estate tax reform.

Has to sting to see your creation render you useless.

Trump is their Messiah. He's untouchable in the minds of Hillbillies and minority coons.
Bannon fucked up when he thought "e-props" comments on his site was actual tangible support.

He is gonna snitch hard if he gets called in.

Bannon is like a person who befriends someone and gets in tight with that person's friends/family. Well one day him and that friend had a fall out.
Well those friends of your friend are no longer your friends either and they never were (and will show as much). because they were only your friends while the two of you were friends

Bannon’s exit comes after his quotes in a new tell-all sparked a feud with President Donald Trump.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is out at far-right Breitbart News, the outlet confirmed Tuesday.

“I’m proud of what the Breitbart team has accomplished in so short a period of time in building out a world-class news platform,” he said in a statement. Bannon was a founding member of the board and took over as executive chairman of Breitbart News following founder Andrew Breitbart’s death in 2012.

In a statement Tuesday, Breitbart CEO Larry Solov commemorated Bannon’s role in establishing the site.

“Steve is a valued part of our legacy, and we will always be grateful for his contributions, and what he has helped us to accomplish,” he said.

Bannon is also out as the host of “Breitbart News Daily” on SiriusXM radio, the station confirmed.

Rumors of Bannon’s ouster from the conservative news outlet began Thursday, when The Wall Street Journal reported that the owners of the publication were debating Bannon’s future.

During a press briefing Thursday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Breitbart should consider firing Bannon.

“I certainly think that it’s something they should look at and consider,” she said.

Bannon’s exit comes after he feuded with President Donald Trump last week. The former executive was quoted saying that a 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr., other Trump associates and a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower was “treasonous.”

“The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor — with no lawyers,” Bannon told Michael Wolff in an excerpt from Wolff’s new book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.


“Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately,” Bannon added.

The fallout from Bannon’s comments was almost immediate. On Wednesday, Trump’s lawyer sent Bannon a cease-and-desist letter claiming the former aide had “breached the Agreement by, among other things, communicating with author Michael Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company [the campaign], disclosing Confidential Information to Mr. Wolff, and making disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements to Mr. Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members.”

Trump said Wednesday that Bannon “has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.” And on Thursday, Trump said he doesn’t speak to Bannon.

Rebekah Mercer, a financial backer of Breitbart, distanced herself from Bannon in an interview with The Washington Post.

“I support President Trump and the platform upon which he was elected,” Mercer told the publication. “My family and I have not communicated with Steve Bannon in many months and have provided no financial support to his political agenda, nor do we support his recent actions and statements.”

Bannon left his job as White House strategist in August, telling Bloomberg Businessweek that he would fight for Trump “against his opponents ― on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.”

“If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war,” he told the outlet at the time.
