Coward Steve Bannon Apologizes To Trump For Telling The Truth About The Russia Scandal

Proof that zero truth is allowed in Trump’s Republican Party came when Steve Bannon apologized to Trump for telling the truth about the Russia scandal.

In a statement to Axios, Bannon took everything he said about the Russia scandal and the Trump family back:

Donald Trump, Jr. is both a patriot and a good man. He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our country around. My support is also unwavering for the president and his agenda — as I have shown daily in my national radio broadcasts, on the pages of Breitbart News and in speeches and appearances from Tokyo and Hong Kong to Arizona and Alabama.

….

My comments about the meeting with Russian nationals came from my life experiences as a Naval officer stationed aboard a destroyer whose main mission was to hunt Soviet submarines to my time at the Pentagon during the Reagan years when our focus was the defeat of ‘the evil empire’ and to making films about Reagan’s war against the Soviets and Hillary Clinton’s involvement in selling uranium to them. My comments were aimed at Paul Manafort, a seasoned campaign professional with experience and knowledge of how the Russians operate. He should have known they are duplicitous, cunning and not our friends. To reiterate, those comments were not aimed at Don Jr. Everything I have to say about the ridiculous nature of the Russian ‘collusion’ investigation I said on my 60 Minutes interview. There was no collusion and the investigation is a witch hunt. I regret that my delay in responding to the inaccurate reporting regarding Don Jr has diverted attention from the president’s historical accomplishments in the first year of his presidency.

The statement uses all of Trump’s buzzwords and favorite Russia conspiracies, so this should not in any way be taken seriously. What happened was Trump flipped out after the book was published and got Bannon’s backers the Mercer family to pull out their cash, while at the same time, the White House was trying to get him fired from Breitbart. The statement is garbage and it shows just how tightly controlled the Republican Party is by a handful of billionaires.

The genie is already out of the bottle, so Bannon can put out any sort of White House written statement under his own name, and it won’t make a bit of difference. The book is published, millions are reading it, and the damage has been done.
