‘We Took a Casualty’: Steve Bannon Fumes Day After MAGA Suffered ‘Big Defeat’ With Matt Gaetz

Steve Bannon fumed on his Friday War Room podcast over former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) dropping out as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be attorney general.

Gaetz made the announcement on Thursday amid a cloud of scandal related to allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor and drug use.

“This fight goes back to the revolution. That’s why I said, when I say we are, we are linked by patriot graves all the way back to the beginning. We answer to them, we answer to their memory,” began Bannon, striking a dramatic tone.

He went on to rail against the so-called “deep state” and what he sees as the lack of accountability in the executive branch and eventually said of Gaetz:

And we took a casualty today. One of the best warriors we have in all his imperfections, and he’s quite imperfect, as Donald Trump is imperfect, as Stephen K. Bannon is super imperfect.

And Tucker Carlson and Vivek RamaswamyElon MuskTulsi GabbardRFK, Jr. All of it. Very, very, very imperfect instruments. But in that imperfection is some of their power. We took a casualty today. One of the reasons we took a casualty, I hate to say it and let me be brutally frank. You can’t stick these people out there with no air cover. What are we doing? You can’t stick them out there and take them off television. They’re the best at selling themselves. You take them off television for five, six, seven, eight days, and it’s nothing but incoming. Where is the plan and where is the execution of the plan?

“It’s a big defeat for President Trump today. And trust me, those demons and jackals and hyenas up there in the United States Senate, Mitch McConnell, that crowd, they know it. Yo. They know it,” concluded Bannon, who has repeatedly threatened retribution against Trump critics.
