During a recent episode of his War Room show, Steve Bannon complained about Donald Trump's choice of Susie Wiles as his Chief of Staff.
There was a time when Bannon was deeply involved in Trump's campaign. It was different this year as Bannon spent a fair amount of campaign season in prison. He was in prison because he refused a subpoena to speak before Congress.
Trump made his first major move of his new administration, naming Susie Wiles, an important campaign adviser, as his Chief of Staff. Bannon wasn't a fan of the move, telling viewers:
"We came out for Susie Wiles and against McCarthy and Jeff Miller, that swamp. And is Susie perfect? No, she’s a DeSantis person, a Bush person. I got that. But you look at, remember, you’re making decisions here on alternatives that don’t kind of exist,"
The pundit continued, "Are there better MAGA people who might make a better chief of staff, hey maybe. But President Trump kind of wanted her. Doesn’t he get a vote? Doesn’t he get a say so? Hasn’t he done enough?"
Bannon then told viewers:
"With everything is happening on transition and I’ll get into this in a second is that– I think if you ask President Trump right now on his transition, what he would tell you, the one thing he wants. Is for people to get along and for people to figure out how to make it work. You’re not going to have all MAGA in the White House. You’re not going to have all MAGA in these cabinet position is just not going to happen. You’re going to get some, but there are just going to be some establishment people there. That’s just reality."
