I love nothing more than a good reality drama, and nothing is better than the reality-TV star-turned-president and his merry band of misfits. On Friday, Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough posited an interesting theory, and one that I think I can get behind.
According to Scarborough’s sources inside the White House, White House chief political strategist and proud white nationalist Steve “Papa” Bannon is behind leaks against Trump’s son-in-law, Jared “Got Dem Visas” Kushner.
We know that the two have been openly feuding inside the White House over who gets to pull President Vladimir TrumPutin’s puppet strings. And with Papa Bannon’s connections to the “press” via right-wing site Breitbart, this feels highly likely.
“Steve Bannon was running around from—according to my sources, bragging to journalists a month and a half ago that he didn’t have to worry about Kushner and he was going to sideline Kushner because of Russia, that he had information on the Russian investigation, and that he was going to sideline Jared Kushner,” the MSNBC host said, according to Raw Story.
Scarborough added that when he heard the news from his sources, he didn’t give it much thought until major news publications began writing pieces about Kushner and Russian connections.
“Two days after I heard this, two days, front-page New York Times story about the links between Kushner and Russia,” he said. “A coincidence? Absolutely not. Steve Bannon has been leaking, I believe, based on everything that I’ve heard, has been leaking these stories.”
