Bannon Calls Comey Firing the Biggest Mistake in ‘Modern Political History’
Speaker Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin and Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority
leader, two Republicans Mr. Bannon accused of “trying to nullify the 2016 election.”
“They do not want Donald Trump’s populist, economic nationalist agenda to be implemented,” Mr. Bannon said.
“I was the only guy that said, ‘He’s talking about something, taking it up to a higher level,’” Mr.
Bannon said, then echoed Mr. Trump’s language in the days after the Charlottesville violence.
Does it end — does it end in taking down the Washington Monument?”
Yet Mr. Bannon accused neo-Nazis of “getting a free ride off Donald Trump” for their role in white supremacist rallies.
“We would not have the Mueller investigation and the breadth that clearly Mr. Mueller is going for,” Mr. Bannon said.
The president set a March end date for the program and asked Congress to come up with a solution in the meantime, a task
that Mr. Bannon said could split Republicans and cost them their House majority in the 2018 midterm elections.
