Steve Bannon savages 'Javanka', laying bare White House tensions

Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are under fresh scrutiny over their influence at the White House after a very public eruption of their feud with former chief strategist Steve Bannon.

In a gloves-off interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Bannon laid bare the mutual enmity with the senior advisers to the president, one of the worst-kept secrets of the Trump administration.

“The railhead of all bad decisions is the same railhead: Javanka,” he said, using a nickname that conflates the couple.

Bannon, who returned to rightwing site Breitbart News after being forced out of the White House in August, recalled an Oval Office meeting in which he accused Ivanka of being “the queen of leaks”. The first daughter allegedly retorted: “You’re a fucking liar!”

1. Isn't Bannon the guy who's getting indicted for espionage? Or is it treason. I can't remember which.

[riversedge]

26. He has not been interved yet. Wonder why??

2. They're all fucking liars

4. Perhaps they are both correct. eom

[JI7]

5. Fuck all of them.

[Hekate]

6. KnRnSchadenfreude

[Kaleva]

7. I agree with Bannon's assesment on this one point

"It was Kushner who reportedly encouraged the president to fire FBI director James Comey, a move that could come back to haunt him during the investigation into alleged collusion with Russia in the election campaign. Bannon said: “It’s the dumbest political decision in modern political history, bar none. A self-inflicted wound of massive proportions.”"

8. what the hell is this guy's deal?

one second it is "drumpf is god" and the next second he's ripping his kids. i just don't get what this dude is going for.

[Skittles]

16. maybe he just hates Jewish folk

[The Genealogist]

9. They're all a bunch of pigs, fighting over slop in a trough

All of them. The whole deplorable lot. The sooner they all crawl back under their respective rocks, the better for the country. The contrast with the Obama White House could not be more stark. Like night and day.

[Squinch]

10. Oh, yippee! They've reached the "eating their young" phase. And Bannon is so desperate

to keep his name in the newspapers until the moment his liver explodes, he'll say anything!

[lunasun]

11. Excellent if true more trump chaos and backstabbing

[mountain grammy]

12. Hobbits and deplorables?

I hate these fucking people.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. This, at least, should get the PGIC off the FBI's backs for

a day or so. Unless his handlers somehow keep him from seeing it.

[thbobby]

14. Stupid and Deplorable Traitors

A group of people this evil and this greedy can seldom be at peace among themselves. When one thinks they are superior to all others and believes they are entitled to whatever they can steal, is it a surprise they hate each other?

[Solly Mack]

15. Ivanred.

[Cha]

29. Perfect, Solly!

[shadowmayor]

17. Ladies and Gentlemen

It's popcorn time!

[Irish_Dem]

18. Keep talking Steve. Fascinating.

They call their base "hobbits" ---
Ivanka cusses like a sailor.
Jared loved the limelight.
Jared and Ivanka are stupid and gave Trump bad advice (this one we knew).

[Honeycombe8]

19. Wow. Why would he publicize his feud? What's he get out of it?

So he isn't the one blamed? I thought he was still a Trumper. This doesn't sound like a Trumper.

[oxbow]

20. Bannon 2020

He gives trump a 30% chance of completing his term, so he’s maneuvering to jump ship ahead of the other rats.

[Cha]

30. Who's accusing who of "..loving the limelight.."?

[Honeycombe8]

35. I see. I clearly have a lot of catchin' up to do with Bannon.

I'm not up on everything he's said lately.

[Xolodno]

25. Optics. He's trying to save his ass from Mueller.

He knew about the Russia collusion, but he's been out of the spotlight...thus far. He's trying to set himself up as an innocent bystander that got caught in the crossfire.

The asshole was smart enough to figure out how to get this bastard elected....and was smart enough to know the party was over.

[Javaman]

21. Slap fight between two ninnies soon to be wearing orange nt

[blueinredohio]

22. No media outlets should give him the time of day

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. So Steve Bannon is suddenly a reliable and respected source?

What did I miss?

[gratuitous]

24. Not Javanka, Ivanred

Just carries a little more . . . meaning that way.

[comradebillyboy]

27. This is what Scaramucci meant when he said

Bannon was 'sucking his own dick'.

[tblue37]

28. Wow! Check out Bannon's comment about Ivanka statement that there's a special place

in hell for people who prey on children:

Bannon, who supported Moore despite the allegations only to see him lose the Republican heartland to a Democrat, responded in the Vanity Fair interview: “What about the allegations about her dad and that 13-year-old?”

[DeminPennswoods]

34. Reads like a warning shot across the bow to me

This is the Jeffery Epstein party and the lawsuit that was filed by never went anywhere, isn't it? There's enough of a grain of truth in it for Breitbart to sensationalize the story anytime the want - not that they care about truth.

[democratisphere]

32. These are the expected results when you put "experts" in charge.

No nothing, get nothing.

[duforsure]

33. Who is he

Isn't he the guy who backed the accused pedophile roy moore and trump, and met with the neo-nazi group in Austria while serving under trump? Isn't he the guy who hates everyone except himself and acts like trump does with extreme rhetoric and phony claims against others to gain attention to himself. Isn't this guy just another right wing extremist hate monger who has to attack others to make himself feel better about himself. He is the guy who looks homeless and looks like he has just dragged in from an all night bender who claims to know it all, and no one else does . These types are nothing but frauds, looking for there next mark. nothing more, and Javanka , they could be facing time for what they may be involved in. Time will tell , they may all be looking out from a prison cell door when everyone is exposed and held accountable for what they all have done. I think the American people are wise enough to not back such a horrible , and divisive hate monger like him, as they are now doing to this illegitimate President we have now. These types never last because of that, the people start seeing through their rhetoric, their lies, and their hate, and their propaganda starts to fail for them, again like its doing for this guy in office. They can't be trusted, for anything ,especially for their worse enemy, the truth.
