46. Let's deconstruct this. . .

In terms of being a political functionary, Bannon is the assassin. It's his elemental goal and his M.O. confirms this.

In terms of methodology, Pelosi could be likened to an assassin. The difference is that she is supremely skilled.

Coming from Bannon in those circumstances, the label wasn't meant to be an insult. "Game recognize game"; Bannon was waking up to the fact that he was out-classed.
