From Rosie O’Donnell, who once offered to play Bannon on Saturday Night Live, to Don Cheadle, Bradley Whitford, and Conan O’Brien, the anti-Bannonites celebrated like it was Christmas, Independence Day and Mardi Gras all rolled into one.
“Hey bannon,” tweeted O’Donnell, “shove a tiki torch up ur…” See the full suggestion below, along with other tributes.
Writes David Alan Grier, “WH sources say David Duke has been tapped to replace Steve Bannon!”

BANNON GONE! When Bannon saw Trump able to defend white power all on his own, he said 2 himself, "My job here is done. Mission accomplished"

Bannon is out. Beware! He can do the exact same thing without an official title in the Administration. Nothing changes until Trump is out.
