Breitbart Staffer Warns Trump: We're Ready to 'Help Paul Ryan Rally Votes for Impeachment'

“We’re prepared to help Paul Ryan rally votes for impeachment,” a high-level Breitbart staffer told Sherman.

You heard that right: a senior Breitbart staffer is claiming that if Trump betrays the populist, nationalist message he ran on, the website will side with its arch-nemesis Paul Ryan, House speaker, to push for the impeachment of the president.

Now, that’s most likely hyperbole from a Breitbart staffer a little too excited about the “#WAR” they just declared, as the website has remained staunchly defensive of Trump throughout his formless presidency, even when he has strayed from the issues he ran on — and its unclear Breitbart’s readership could stand for any criticism of the dear leader.

Either way, while no one should hold their breath for direct criticism of Trump from the news outlet, the comments signal that Bannon at least intends to target factions of the administration he once battled from within the White House. So expect the onslaught against Kushner, McMaster, Cohn and their cohorts to continue ad nauseam.

He can't stand Trump, and it's likely he'd be able to pass a lot more legislation through if Pence was in office because congressmen and senators would actually rally behind Pence.

And Trump, feeling the need to lash out at critics, suddenly starts criticizing the Breitbart crowd?
