Bannon slams Reince Priebus over Trump’s “Access Hollywood” tape

Despite defeating all odds and forging a good combination while in the White House, Steve Bannon has taken a new turn by slamming the former White House Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus for his reaction to the “Access Hollywood” tape which threatened to destroy Trump’s candidacy during the campaigns.

Bannon speaking in an interview with CBS’ Charlie Rose set to air on “60 minutes” on Sunday recounted a meeting Trump called in the days following the tape’s release (in which Trump bragged before Billy Bush about grabbing women by the p__sy) that he and Priebus attended.

He said, “Trump went around the room and asked people the percentages he thought of – of still winning and what the recommendation. And Reince started off and Reince said, ‘You have -=- you have two choices. You either drop out right now, or you lose by the biggest landslide in American political history.’ And Trump, with his humour goes, ‘That’s a great way – that’s a great way to start our – start our conversation.'”

Bannon then boasted that he responded last and assured Trump he had a 100 percent chance of winning if he stuck to his mantra and ignored the tape.

“He goes, ‘Come on, it’s not 100 percent,’ ‘I go, ‘It’s absolutely 100 percent.’ And I told him why. ‘They don’t care,” Bannon said.

The Breibart’s firepower noted that the “Billy Bush Saturday” was a critical defining moment for him in the Trump camp and that, his time with Trump can be divided between pre-“Access Hollywood” and post-“Access Hollywood” – a moment he said illuminated him on who was really all in on Trump and who was still part of the GOP mainstream – protecting their own interests rather than standing firm in their commitment to Trump.

He stressed, “Billy Bush Saturday showed me who really had Donald Trump’s back to play to his better angels. All you had to do, and what he did, was go out and continue to talk to the American people. People didn’t care. They knew Donald Trump was just doing locker room talk with a guy. And they dismissed it. It had no lasting impact on the campaign. Yet, if you see the mainstream media that day, it was, literally, he was falling into Dante’s Inferno.”

Bannon continued on to make it clear in the interview with anchor Charlie Rose, that he never really trusted Priebus to be loyal to Trump after the “Access Hollywood” moment.
