February 23, 2017 By WHC Insider

According to transcripts of his speech, Bannon said that:

“If you look at the opposition party, how they portrayed the campaign, how they portrayed the transition, how they portray the administration, it’s always wrong. If you remember, the campaign, by the media’s description, was the most chaotic, the most disorganized, most unprofessional, had no idea what they were doing. And then you saw [the media] all crying and weeping”

Bannon is the former head of Breitbart News and has long embraced the position of vocal media antagonist.
