A week after President Donald Trump began to publicly distance himself from White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, alt-right ringleader Mike Cernovich threatened to release a “motherlode” of stories that could “destroy marriages” if Bannon is formally let go from the administration.
Cernovich made the claims that he’d release a series of “scoops” if Bannon is officially pushed out of the White House on an eleven-minute, self-recorded Periscope Thursday night.
Is trump afraid of what could come out?
This guy Cernovich is repulsive. He thinks there's no such thing as date rape and tweeted bragging about going to the gym after relations with a woman during her cycle and the odor it caused. Classy!
These guys are, unabashedly, a veritable 'basket of repulsive' full stop.
Mr. Trump may not have realized it (& how unusual would that be ) although from Day 1, Mr. Bannon has been quite clear about the ideological special interest group he represented. Trump was always viewed as a (dim witted) 'blunt instrument' for this group:
Quote:
...On the surface, Bannon at least has the benefit of being politically sympathetic with Trump; Breitbart, under his leadership, after all, has become “Trump Pravda,” as one former staffer described it to me. But when I talked with Bannon, he expressed a wariness about the political genuineness of the Trump campaign persona. Trump is a “blunt instrument for us,” he told me earlier this summer. “I don’t know whether he really gets it or not.” ...
Thanks for that article. Mostly a rehash but it was funny to read something written in August about how Trump and Bannon were essentially losers who knew nothing about American politics and what were they going to do after the election?

You're welcome. It may've been written in August, however it seems oddly accurate in predicting how the political calculus would change if these, as you've noted, "essentially losers" were given the opportunity to (abuse) the power that comes with the office:

...Bannon, not surprisingly, has critics, even within the movement he leads. A former employee of Breitbart described him to me as “Donald Trump but more intelligent.” He didn’t mean it as a compliment, and was instead referring to the opportunism, the personal vindictiveness, and the lack of a moral center that have become defining characteristics of Trump.
Bannon certainly does appear to share some of Trump’s moral flexibility.
...Breitbart, indeed, is a brand built on anger. ...
As an aside, I think it was political activist & president of Citizens United, David Bossie, (also Trump's deputy campaign manager), who first introduced Mr. Bannon & the Mercer family to Mr. Trump.

He's another horrible example of alt-right wing creepers with loud voices now. He was into that gross PUA (pickup artist) stuff, somehow he got his ex wife to support him, he acts like he is always coked up, and he seems extremely arrogant. Now he is threatening the president about who is allowed to be in the administration. What a fool.
