Bannon returning to Breitbart was expected, as both he and the site indicated earlier today that they plan to ratchet up the ‘war” against the President’s opponents.

Breitbart’s report on Bannon’s big return shows how he’s being welcomed back in:

“The populist-nationalist movement got a lot stronger today,” said Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow. “Breitbart gained an executive chairman with his finger on the pulse of the Trump agenda.”

Breitbart News CEO and President Larry Solov agreed.

“Breitbart’s pace of global expansion will only accelerate with Steve back,” said Solov. “The sky’s the limit.”

It was exactly one year ago this week that Bannon left Breitbart to join the Trump campaign.
