Steve Bannon tells Ivanka Trump to go to hell
Steve Bannon is having a really bad week, and he may have just made it even worse for himself. Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos implicated Bannon in the Trump-Russia scandal, prompting at least one prominent cable news pundit to assert that Bannon is going to prison. Now questions are being asked about why Special Counsel Robert Mueller hasn’t yet questioned Bannon. Tonight, Bannon decided to very publicly take out his frustrations on, of all people, Ivanka Trump.
Bannon spoke at a rally in Alabama on Monday night for accused child molester Roy Moore. Things started off poorly for Bannon when he inexplicably insulted Joe Scarborough for having attended the University of Alabama. Then Bannon said ”there’s a special place in hell for Republicans who should know better.” This was a clear attack on Ivanka Trump, who recently said that “there’s a special place in hell” for child molesters.
So at this point Steve Bannon is publicly telling Donald Trump’s daughter to go to hell. Making things even more uncomfortable for everyone involved, Donald endorsed Roy Moore shortly after Ivanka condemned him. But the real story here is Bannon’s meltdown.
Donald Trump won’t be happy with Steve Bannon for taking such an ugly shot at Ivanka, and he could end up firing back at Bannon on Twitter. Then again, it’s widely reported that Donald and Ivanka are feuding as it is. In any case Bannon seems to be rapidly coming apart under the pressure of the Trump-Russia investigation, if it can be said that someone like Bannon ever had it together to begin with.
