A Republican congressman took the fight directly to a Donald Trump ally on Saturday in the wake of a report about Jeffrey Epstein.
CNN reported this weekend that Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser to US President Donald Trump, “discussed opposition strategies with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein against Pope Francis, with Bannon saying he hoped to ‘take down’ the pontiff, according to newly released files from the US Department of Justice.”
That move didn’t sit well with one Republican lawmaker: U.S. Representative Don Bacon (R-NE). Bacon, who has been consistently conservative while opposing Trump on things like tariffs, lashed out against the ex-adviser.
“Steve Bannon showing who he really is and who he always was,” Bacon wrote on X. “He deserves political exile.”
Self-identified veteran B.J.Myers asked, “Who in the hell likes Steve Bannon after he Grifted so many MAGA’S,” to which Bacon responded, “My last primary opponent loves him.”
