'No other place to go': Former allies say Bannon's return to Breitbart is anything but triumphant

Former allies and associates of ousted White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon say that his triumphant tone last week — in which he crowed that his hands were “back on my weapons” at “f*cking killing machine” Breitbart.com — was empty bluster.
According to Lloyd Grove at The Daily Beast, Bannon’s return to the white nationalist hub was anything but triumphant and that the website’s former CEO only returned to its helm because he had no other options.
“Bannon had no other place to go except for Breitbart,” said conservative pundit and former Breitbart News editor Ben Shapiro, who left the website in 2016 over its fawning tone over then-nominee Donald Trump. Shapiro has emerged as a critic of Breitbart News and its decision to become Trump’s Pravda. Bannon, Shapiro said, “is not going to be the head of a think tank. He’s not going to be a personality or a talk radio host. He’s not qualified for any of those things.”
The former Goldman Sachs executive and B-movie producer‘s sharp elbows during his time in Washington have virtually ruined Bannon’s chances of landing a sinecure think tank position and even allies are skeptical that he has what it takes to build out a TV brand associated with Breitbart News.
