Don Jr. Excoriates Bannon in Crazy Tweetstorm: ‘Andrew Breitbart Would Be Ashamed’
Like father, like son.
Shortly after President Donald Trump released a scathing statement denouncing his former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, as “crazy,” Donald Trump Jr. lit the Breitbart chairman up on Twitter.
As part of an excerpt from a soon-to-be-released book authored by USA Today’s Michael Wolff, Bannon ripped Don Jr., among others, over the infamous Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer.
“Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately,” Bannon wrote.
Junior’s response?
Andrew Breitbart would be ashamed of the division and lies Steve Bannon is spreading!

That wasn’t all. Here’s the rest of the (possibly ongoing) Tweetstorm:
Thanks Steve. Keep up the great work. https://t.co/J9O8CUfJAD

Wow, Just looked at the comments section on Breitbart. Wow. When Bannon has lost Breitbart, he’s left with . . . umm, nothing.

Bannon seemed to save some of his harshest comments for Trump Jr.
“They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV,” Bannon said, in the yet-to-be-published book. “Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner…It’s as plain as a hair on your face.”
