Twitter Users Gleefully Troll Steve Bannon Over Breitbart Exit
Steve Bannon is out at Breitbart News and some folks are thrilled.
Twitter users couldn’t contain their glee after the news broke on Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s ex-chief strategist had resigned from the far-right media outlet. It came following the release of Michael Wolff’s tell-all book about the Trump administration, Fire and Fury, in which Bannon reportedly made derogatory comments about the president and his family.
Here’s a sampling of the responses:
Forget “drain the swamp,” getting rid of Bannon is more like draining an abscess.

Tearful Steve Bannon stands at the door of the Breitbart embassy
Pepe the Frog: "One more thing, Steve, I'm going to need your key"
Unable to hold back the sobbing any longer, Bannon collapses, a sloppy crying mess. He reaches under the 14 polo shirts and pulls the key free— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) January 9, 2018
In a month, who's going to write the Bannon profile titled "A Warrior in Exile"? I'm assuming Politico but am willing to entertain other possibilities.
