Bannon returned to media powerhouse Breitbart to assume his role as an executive, and referred to himself as a "street fighter." When asked about his unconditional support for President Trump, Bannon pushed back at criticism over the president's reaction to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and defended Trump's overall message. He also blasted white supremacists as having no place in society or politics and lashed out against those in the Trump administration who disagree with the president--calling out Gary Cohn by name--saying they have an obligation to resign.
