Steve Bannon says in revealing doc that he did 'the Lord's work' in Trump White House

PARK CITY, Utah – Remember Steve Bannon?

The former chief strategist to President Donald Trump was once one of the most divisive figures in politics, who in 2017, helped spearhead the so-called "Muslim ban" and craft Trump's rhetoric blaming "both sides" after the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

But since he was fired from the Trump administration in August 2017, Bannon has been mostly out of the headlines, save for his departure from Breitbart News last year and the president's continued mocking of him on Twitter.

Now, a new documentary is here to catch you up on Bannon's whereabouts. "The Brink," which premieres at Sundance Film Festival on Wednesday, gives a window into his daily life since his White House ousting: traveling around the country endorsing Republican candidates before last November's midterm elections, and meeting with right-wing leaders throughout Europe in hopes of creating a "united populist agenda."

Director Alison Klayman (2012's "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry&quot takes a fly-on-the-wall approach to the doc, capturing Bannon in rare unguarded moments at home and on the road. Within the film's first 15 minutes, he admires the architectural achievements of the Auschwitz concentration camp, and simultaneously denounces and defends his short-lived White House stint.

tells me that "the Lord" does not exist. Unless is the Dark Lord of the Underworld to whom he is referring. Talk about the dregs of humanity...

Yeah, The Lord of Darkness, underscored by his 'admiration for the architectural achievements of Auschwitz.'

I hope Mueller has a place for Bannon, somewhere deep in the bowels of the Earth.

Ugh.

Steve Bannon: 'Darkness is good'

By Daniella Diaz, CNN Updated 7:17 PM ET, Fri November 18, 2016

Washington (CNN)Steve Bannon has no regrets.

The ex-Breitbart executive, who serves as Trump's chief strategist for the new administration, told The Hollywood Reporter that "darkness is good."

"Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power.

It only helps us when they (liberals) get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing," he said in an interview published Friday, his first outside of Breitbart since the election.

listening to you anymore, you hypocrite, you foul mouthed guttersnipe.

The toxic ultra right wing thinking that Bannon and others have is going out with the dirty bath water when numerous democratic candidates swamped republican tickets all across the board in November, 2018.

And yet, you continue to believe that you alone are right in your thinking and beliefs and no one else is? I guess being ignored is a pretty hard blow, eh? Especially by your own party and candidate rump. I laugh in your face!
