Breitbart blames McMaster for Trump error in reacting to Naval collision

"That's to bad" statement is the falult of McMaster. - Here we go. - This should get interesting.

Breitbart published a story on Monday accusing National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster of not briefing President Trump on a Naval collision near Singapore, raising new speculation that the conservative site is going opponents of Steve Bannon, the former White House strategist who has now returned to the website.

The report said McMaster, along with his Chief of Staff Ret. Gen. John Kelly had originally "kept the president in the dark on the incident" involving the USS McCain, which it says caused the president to respond "that's too bad," when asked about the matter.

Trump's initial, curt response raised eyebrows and received criticism, however the president later issued more detailed remarks on Twitter.

The report marks the second time in less than a day that the publication has taken aim at McMaster.

So because McMaster hadn't briefed him on it, that prevented Trump from having a sincere reaction?

Are we now going to have to suffer through Bannon's Breitbart inveighing on every act of our government as if it is its own branch? Seat at the table for neo-Nazis and white supremacists?
