White House rejects Bannon's apology

Source: The Hill

BY JORDAN FABIAN - 01/08/18 03:11 PM EST

The White House on Monday rejected Stephen Bannon’s attempt to take back his criticism of the president and his children.

Spokesman Hogan Gidley said President Trump’s stands by his belief that Bannon has “lost it” and is “only in it for himself. I just don’t think there’s any way back at this point,” Gidley told reporters on Air Force One who asked about the former chief strategist.

The comments do not bode well for Bannon, whose job as head of Breitbart News is reportedly in jeopardy due to the rift with Trump.

Bannon was a key source for the bombshell book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” which paints a chaotic and dysfunctional picture of Trump’s campaign and early months as president.

Bannon may think he was saving his position atop his empire, but he could have done so without apologizing.

Now he is weaker.

People of Trump's ilk have no loyalty whatsoever and will turn on a dime. It doesn't matter, in the least, that Bannon was responsible for getting Trump into the White House. It would take having a conscience to do otherwise.
