Who can accept anything Bannon says?
After Long Silence, Bannon Apologizes and Praises Trump’s Son as a “Patriot”
Steve Bannon is sorry. After days of increasing acrimony between President Donald Trump and his former chief strategist, Bannon finally issued a statement apologizing for his words against the commander in chief’s eldest son. Bannon also expressed regret that it took him so long to speak up and made clear that despite the recent insults from the commander in chief, he still believes in Trump and his agenda.
“Donald Trump, Jr. is both a patriot and a good man,” said Bannon, who is quoted in Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury calling a 2016 meeting with Russians as “treasonous.” “He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our country around.” Bannon insisted that his mention of treason didn’t refer to Trump Jr. but rather to Paul Manafort, “a seasoned campaign professional with experience and knowledge of how the Russians operate.” Manafort, who was briefly Trump’s campaign manager, should have known better. “He should have known they are duplicitous, cunning and not our friends. To reiterate, those comments were not aimed at Don Jr,” Bannon said in the statement that was first reported by Axios.
