Former White House Chief Strategist Steve
Bannon apologized to President Trump and his son, Donald Trump, Jr. on Sunday,
feeding quotes to the website Axios.
Battered by the backlash from Michael Wolff's
book and the knowledge that President
Trump has directed those who appear on television to “bury” him, Steve
Bannon is trying to make amends with the Trump family, providing a statement to
Axios that expresses "regret" to President Trump and praises his son,
Donald Trump Jr.
"Donald Trump, Jr. is both a patriot and a good man.
He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has
helped turn our country around."
"My support is also unwavering for the president and
his agenda—as I have shown daily in my national radio broadcasts, on the pages
of Breitbart News and in speeches and appearances from Tokyo and Hong Kong to
Arizona and Alabama."
"President Trump was the only candidate
that could have taken on and defeated the Clinton apparatus. I am the
only person to date to conduct a global effort to preach the message of Trump
and Trumpism; and remain ready to stand in the breech for this president's
efforts to make America great again."
"My comments about the meeting with Russian nationals came
from my life experiences as a Naval Officer stationed aboard a destroyer whose
main mission was to hunt Soviet submarines to my time at the Pentagon during
the Reagan years when our focus was the defeat of the ‘evil empire’ and to making
films about Reagan’s war against the Soviets and Hillary Clinton’s involvement
in selling uranium to them.”
"My comments were aimed at Paul Manafort, a seasoned
campaign professional with experience and knowledge of how the Russians
operate. He should have known they are duplicitous, cunning and not our
friends. To reiterate, those comments were not aimed at Don Jr."
"Everything I have to say about the ridiculous nature
of the Russian 'collusion' investigation I said on my 60 Minutes
interview. There was no collusion and
the investigation is a witch hunt.”
"I regret that my delay in responding to the
inaccurate reporting regarding Don Jr. has diverted attention from the
president's historical accomplishments in the first year of his
presidency."
