Bannon got demoted but he just can't handle the truth
In the unending stream of diversions the White House is pushing to obscure their failing agenda, comes this explanation following news that almighty White House strongman Steve Bannon finally got kicked off the National Security Council (though, for now, he remains a top White House adviser.)
Allow me to second the amusement of Daniel Drezner. Heres another head-scatcherBannon as voice of moderation:
Steve was put there as a check on [Mike] Flynn, the second official said, referring to the former national security adviser who was forced to resign in February over undisclosed contacts with Russia. With Gen. McMaster now in charge, there was no longer a need [for Bannon] because they share the same views, the official said.
Nice try. Apparently, the White House never trusted that Flynn guy who Donald Trump put in charge of his entire national security team.
