‘WAR’: Breitbart Going ‘Thermonuclear’ Against ‘Globalists’ After Bannon Ouster
Mediaite ^ | August 18, 2017 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 08/18/2017 11:42:26 AM PDT by be-baw

Joel Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large for Breitbart News, tweeted out the following after the news of Steve Bannon‘s departure from the White House:

Joel B. Pollak @joelpollak #WAR 1:18 PM - Aug 18, 2017

The reaction from Breitbart to Bannon leaving will be one to watch as the news unfolds, given how Bannon ran Breitbart before joining the Trump campaign. There’s reporting this afternoon that Bannon may return to Breitbart next.

Following Pollak’s tweet, Axios’ Jonathan Swan tweeted that Breitbart is “going thermonuclear”:

Jonathan Swan ✔ @jonathanvswan Joel is a Breitbart editor. They're going thermonuclear, I'm told. Story tk on Axios. https://twitter.com/joelpollak/status/898595085247324161 … 1:30 PM - Aug 18, 2017

Just heard Pollock interviewed on Headline news. It’s unbelievable some of the questions they ask him. Just a sample:

Is Breitbart anti semitic? Pollock then patiently explains that as an orthodox Jew, he wouldn’t be there if it were.

Did your this is war tweet contribute to the stock market dropping? He jokingly said that he had to cut away from his short sells to take the interview...

Again, these people in the press are friggin idiots!!! The founder of Breitbart was a freakin Jew!! They are not anti semitic!!!!

Amen to that!

Probably no more than click-bait, just like on Breitbart.

Breitbart is going after Drudge too.

The only real question is whether Ivanka and Jared get the globes around their names. (Because they’re Jews, you see).

How’s that infrastructure bill coming along?

Let me get this straight...Bannon, an ultra conservative, accused of leaking and acting globalist quit but we are told ousted is defended by Breitbart, which hasn’t been as conservative since Breitbart died, in fact hasn’t defended Trump so much though Trump has been the only one saving the republic, so he is actually the now real conservative though he really isn’t a conservative oh but this might all be a ploy...but, Axios knows the real story. Am i close?

Doubt it:
The White House has confirmed that Donald Trump’s controversial chief strategist Steve Bannon is leaving the White House - after six controversial months.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders spokeswoman said in a statement: “White House Chief of Staff John Kelly & Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day.”

“This will leave no conservatives in Trumps advisor group.”

Other than Conway, I’m hard pressed to think of any. I didn’t intend to vote for a president who would end up surrounding himself with globalist democrats. In his cabinet, he still has a few conservatives: Sessions, Carson, Pruitt...and, as far as I know, he’s still appointing mostly conservative judges, even though Democrats and a foot-dragging McConnell are allowing them through at a crippled snail’s space.

I don’t see us “winning” again. Not on any of the platform.

It feels like we are all puppets on strings at this point.
Chaos, confusion and anger is ruling the day.

Are you kidding me? Deserting Trump is exactly what the Globalist Elites want.
