White House chief strategist Steve Bannon in 2015 called former Fox News host Megyn Kelly “pure evil” during a vitriolic exchange with former network CEO Roger Ailes, according to a book excerpt published Monday by New York Magazine.

Bannon, who later became President Donald Trump’s campaign CEO, had several contentious exchanges with Ailes after their respective news outlets clashed over then-candidate Trump, according to the report adapted from an upcoming book by reporter Joshua Green.

Then the chairman of conservative outlet Breitbart News, Bannon published a series of articles critical of Kelly after she asked Trump difficult questions during the first Republican primary debate. According to Green, Ailes asked Bannon to relent.

“Steve, this isn’t fair, and it’s killing us,” Ailes said, as quoted in the report. “You have to stop it.”

“Fuck that,” Bannon replied, according to Green.

2. Who's calling whom evil?

Check the mirror, Stevie, if you want to see evil.

4. The New Yorker article from Green is freaking fascinating...

The article shines a pretty big light on why Trump's people react the way they do and was a brutal reminder of how they manipulated the "grab them by the p*ssy" narrative. If we are smart, we can attack Trump in a similar fashion, without being as dirty....
