Breitbart scribe says it’s ‘#WAR’

“WAR” IS coming.

Steve Bannon’s departure from the White House was met with joy from his detractors and promises of future battles from his supporters.

News that the former Breitbart leader and Trump’s chief strategist was out marked the exit of a figure who had come to personify the “alt-right” wing of the administration.

Bannon had faced calls for his resignation from those accusing him of racism and sexism since shortly after he was named to his position in November.

“There is one less white supremacist in the White House, but that doesn’t change the man sitting behind the Resolute desk,” the Democratic National Committee said in a statement.

“Donald Trump has spent decades fueling hate in communities, including his recent attempts to divide our country and give a voice to white supremacists.”

Supporters of Bannon, however, saw the move as Trump shifting away from the kind of leader they elected him to be.

“#WAR,” said Breibart writer Joel Pollak, writing later that the departed strategist was the “conservative spine of the administration.”

“I’m very upset,” Tea Party activist Debbie Dooley told The Hill. “The deep state globalists won. They forced out Steve Bannon. I had a ‘CNN is fake news protest’ scheduled for tomorrow at their headquarters in Atlanta that I’m canceling because I’m so disheartened. It’s a betrayal of his base. ”

Bannon’s longtime critics at the Anti-Defamation League, however, cheered the move.

“In November of 2016, when Bannon was first appointed, we called on the president to disassociate himself from someone who boasted about creating a platform on Breitbart for the alt-right, a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites. Just this week, Bannon unconscionably praised President Trump’s response to the events in Charlottesville,” ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt said.

“Hate has no place in our nation: not in our town squares and not in our White House. We are glad Steve Bannon will no longer advise the president.”
