Breitbart staffer vows to rally votes for impeachment if Trump abandons right-wing baseBrad Reed 21 AUG 2017 AT 09:25 ET
As Breitbart News prepares to go to war with Steve Bannons enemies within the Trump administration, one unnamed Breitbart staffer has thrown down the gauntlet for the president.
In an interview with journalist Gabriel Sherman in Vanity Fair, a high-level Breitbart staffer warns Trump that the publication is not afraid to go thermonuclear on him if he starts going soft on issues such as immigration.
Were prepared to help Paul Ryan rally votes for impeachment, said that staffer, who worried that administration officials such as Gary Cohn and Jared Kushner would push Trump to moderate his views on key nationalist planks that he used to get himself elected.
Sherman also reported over the weekend that Bannon plans to weaponize Robert Muellers probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election to help bring down Kushner and he wants former Trump Chief of Staff Reince Priebus to help him do it.

(65,057 posts)Despite the debate i had late last week, this is the lunatic fringe. "It" got elected by the labor defections in 3 swing states where disaffected workers were looking for outside the box ideas. This far right fringe is not why we have this mess. And they don't have the sway the folks that work at that site think they do.
I know it's a small sample size, but over the weekend, at the store, at the golf course, and when our friends came over, i got 3 people who even knew what Breitbart was. Out of around 40. And 2 of them referred to it in unflattering terms.
