Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon said in a new documentary that he didn't enjoy his time in the Trump administration, but said he was "doing the Lord's work."

USA Today reported that Bannon is the subject of a documentary, "The Brink," which will premiere Wednesday at Sundance Film Festival. The film focuses on Bannon's life since departing the White House in mid-2017.

“There’s no glamour to the job," Bannon said in the documentary. "I hated every second I was there. The West Wing has bad karma to it. They say, ‘Because you were doing bad stuff!’ But I was doing the Lord’s work.”

Bannon does not speak badly of President Trump in the documentary, USA Today reported, saying that Trump is a "historical figure and a transformative president."....................................

Bannon is, in his estimation, being true to the Catholic faith.

Religion is bullshit and can be used to justify pretty much anything.

Or, more to the point, lack of reasoning. So irrational and presumptuous.
