Steve Bannon's Role Being Questioned: President Trump 'Never Needed' Him | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[@mosshark]

I would like Kushner to hold a presser. I am still not convinced that this human being is able to properly speak, much less hold half a dozen White House jobs.

[@edwardjames50]

Agreed. I don't think I've ever heard him speak.

[@rdubs1705]

mosshark I agree. I haven't ever seen him speak to the press. I think the American people would like to know something about the man the president has given so much power to. Unfortunately it seems he is scared to be questioned, which raises many questions in itself.

[@thisguy1520]

David Kushner, Trey Gowdy, Carter Paige, and Kelleyanne Conway are all the same Shape-shifting Reptilian.

[@richlester3858]

This Guy Attacking a guy like Trey Gowdy is just ridiculous. He's as good as they get in DC.

[@brespeed3633]

mosshark 😂😂😂

[@pablocastanon9641]

Is this a White House administration or The Real House wives of D.C?

[@jogrant9721]

Pablo Castanon 😁

[@walternunes2149]

is this going to be donalds new realty show???

[@Orca19904]

"Big Brother: Pennsylvania Avenue"

[@KS-nc7mm]

Can someone snatch Trumpeesha's weave? He's been showing some attitude these past episodes. I mean, I get he's having some trouble with his husband Putin, but seriously.

[@phil7394]

Why does bannon have a problem with President Kushner anyways?

[@xjarheadjohnson]

LOL....because Kushner is Jewish. Read, “Camp Of The Saints” a book Bannon has referred to VERY often.

[@Montesama314]

Joke aside, Bannon and Kushner kind of represent two different factions. Kushner is part of the big money establishment who wants to keep things the same, Bannon is among the nationalists and authoritarians who want to remake the country according to their vision. It was only a matter of time that they were going to clash.

[@thomascarroll39]

Phil Lmao.

[@jamesbrown9553]

Phil WRONG... KUSHNER "KING CON".

[@apurvanataraj5547]

Zombie-Trump's role is being questioned *now* ? The whole *administration* is a question to the entire world.

[@edwardjames50]

And we must *not* give up our efforts to get this entire gang of thugs *out* of our government!

[@dududski]

thank you americuh for entertaining the whole world. sincerely the whole world

[@pm8715]

WELL SAID

[@Lumby1]

Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, and Donald Trump deserve each other, in so many ways.

[@dseer13]

think mishca is getting sick of being cut off.

[@cexspiravit4328]

yep

[@emberparadox458]

If she isn't, the viewing audience certainly is. It's really getting to the point that it seems like her only purpose on the show is to be a pretty piece of fluff for Joe to sit next to, puff out his chest, and constantly pull a 'hush now dear, the menfolk are talking', which is a load of b.s because when Mika is actually able to talk (when Joe isn't around) it's clear she's an intelligent woman with a good grasp of the subject matter being discussed. The best thing the network can do for her is to get her her own show away from Joe so she can actually do more than say two words without that asshat constantly stepping on her.

[@digitalventuresltd]

NL Paradox Joe is sometimes disrespectful to Mika. He's a pig really. He has this republican attitude towards women.

[@emberparadox458]

I'd say most of the time with the way he is constantly interrupting her and his general attitude of superiority towards pretty much everything she says. Honestly, it's getting really tough to watch these days and I'm wondering if the next O'Riley-type story we hear about involves Joe. He just seems like the type that would act in that way towards women or pretty much anyone he considers inferior to him.

[@SHANELL032007]

YES! He keeps doing it! I'm waiting for the day she pulls a Sean Spicer and snaps on him!

[@Aritul]

I hope that Trump, Kushner, and Ivanka push him to his limits and then I hope that Bannon literally goes postal on them.

[@rdubs1705]

Aritul I hope there is a serious power struggle between them and eventually they all start leaking dirt on eachother. Fun fun!

[@Aritul]

Somehow, that doesn't bother me.

[@cateellington4081]

Aritul god yes! I want Bannon to be enraged and spill everything!! But this is likely why Trump is also afraid of Bannon. Joe hyper focuses the only reason Bannon sticks around is Becs of Breitbart base. But I think that's a smaller reason in comparison to the dirt Bannon has on Trump

[@cateellington4081]

OMG. To compare Trump to Obama in anyway (Valerie Jarrett Kushner analogy) is just stupid. So many in the media are very naive and go straight to the superficial in everything

[@digitalventuresltd]

I want Bannon and Putin to go postal on Trump.

[@conniecook8095]

Trump's selection of Bannon to work in ANY capacity in the White House was a disgrace from the start.

[@w5winston]

Is it me or does Bannon, in public, always look like he's counting the seconds to his next whiskey??? (c'mon cirrhosis of the LIVER!!!!!!!!!)

[@toddtoure7041]

w5winston hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha!

[@sputnik9043]

Bannon and Kuscher are as bad as each other, get Trump and these bums out

[@justaguy174]

So Bannon thought he was the power behind the throne, but found out he is just a house servant, not part of the royal family. Bet that hurts.

[@simonclemence4662]

Why does Joe keep cutting the female reporter off mid sentence. Happens all the time.

[@Aritul]

It seems like Morning Joe is trying to get Kellyanne fired. I approve!

[@backandstillbgmsdangerusda5493]

Is Bannon still walking around with that I'm better and smarter than you smirk on his face?

[@007Decky]

Well said, Mika! Foreign Agent Flynn was fired, Queen of Alternative Facts Conway was muzzled, "Strategist" Bannon was shut up (not to mention that Sean Spinach Spicer got all confused about gas!), it is just so feebly pathetic!

[@Aritul]

I'm so looking forward to the break up between Breitbart and Trump. It's gonna be terrific.

[@iriejones8292]

For real though, can someone send Bannon a Clinique hamper or a voucher for a dermatologist or SOMETHING.

[@expatlagos454]

As per Dre Berry comment, Can we please call Breitbart to take their white supremacist back.

[@artzcafe]

What about Bannon's relationship with Robert Mercer?

[@23Domo]

Whenever I see the Trump Family, I have "The Addams Family" theme song in mind playing.

[@ivonedefigueiredo9301]

23Domo That is unfair on the Addams family

[@coolkillab5236]

23Domo Now that is a really good comparison..snap...snap. Lol

[@kenpanzer6702]

Joe, please stop being so rude by interrupting ...Producer please take note !

[@morharmar]

IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!

[@demondshaw4691]

These guys are the only people I feel given genuine commentary on the current state of the Trump White House. No bias unlike 4he other networks. Love it.

[@justamusta]

Ban on, Ban on, BAN OFF!

[@cexspiravit4328]

he does look like a walking case of the Clap..

[@danielmask3871]

JOE! Let others talk!

[@doggiesarus]

As a Dem, and someone who did not vote for Trump, I would feel much better about his choices if he had not hired all "the usual suspects" and tried to honestly work as one with the opposition. He needs to get rid of about 1/3 of the people he has hired. I tend to feel that he is going to be fending off sharks for 4 years instead of running the nation's business-- what he is supposed to do.

[@Nicro328]

Why haven't the producers notified Joe that viewers do NOT want Mika to be cut off at every turn. The show is so much more enjoyable to watch when he is absent. Panelists actually get to present their opinions without fear of constant interruptions.

[@ploidz]

The United States really is the ultimate reality show now. Who will build alliance, who will vote who off, who will be fired.

[@henryalbrecht2930]

Joe I love you but you need to let Mika speak.

[@hankthepatriot3733]

The house of cards is shaking! 1st card to fall was Flynn, Bannon is next, and the biggest elephant in the room is... NEPOTISM!

[@rogerfaint499]

Alternative *FIRST*.

[@mikes333]

That guy forgot to add one line at the end at 3:03 "Look, you guys work it out, I don't have time to deal with this, fix it. 'Cause I gotta go play me some golf!" That's what everyone knows President Doofus most likely said.

[@LindaCasey]

Wouldn't it just be the biggest joke on all of us if Trump went into the WH as an extreme right wing Republican and left as a progressive middle of the road Democrat and the most popular president in history? Nothing would surprise me anymore. Haaaaaaaaa

[@Sandler23]

Bannon likes to hear his name. He likes people talking about "Bannon" like he is this powerful and brilliant mind. "Bannon" he just loves it.

[@machintelligence]

When the National Enquirer throws Bannon under the bus, you will know he is toast.

[@stephenmilner6719]

"But..but...I thought you loved me Donald?!?" - Steve Bannon

[@LS-tj2ho]

Ratings over policy. Sad!

[@parkviewmo]

I kinda don't really dislike Joe Scarborough, but if he would quite man-interrupting Mika Brzezinski my level of liking would increase a few points. It's not that I am a big Mika fan, it is just annoying. It keeps binging my patriarchy sensor. The topic--Joe is trying to normalize Trump. No sale, buddy!

[@sirdouglas2010]

Let's hope Chump sees this. It will drive him bananas and he will drive Bannon and Conwoman out of the WH.

[@zissou6928]

Can we put restrictions on putting the word News in your company name?

[@kamalmortoza9888]

It's not Bannon per se, it's Robert Mercer's lot ...

[@Zultarify]

'Never Needed' is maybe a bit too much to assume... would he really be the president of the US now without Bannon? I can't tell and you can't either. This whole system is not working. Not in the USA and not in Europe. You need investments into education and an updated democratic system, including the internet as a tool, which would be way more direct than the actual one.

[@susanmartin708]

I know this show is called "Morning JOE", but it is very rude when Joe cuts Mika off mid-sentence the way he does. (like he's swatting an irritating fly out of the way) It just comes off very disrespectful :(

[@tori2dles]

Yes, he said it 30 years ago. It it is also true that Bannon & Conway were instrumental in getting Trump elected; more so, Rebekah Mercer, though. Mercer's money & connections coupled with the Bannon/Breitbart machine were key. There were other components, as well, that are interconnected.

[@sarachilumo5171]

To me Bannon has outlived his use and Trump favors son in law. This programme seem to also favor Trumps nepotism. Ours is to see what happens.

[@ragingmonk6080]

The presidents daughter and son in-law should not even be there. To say "an attack on Jared is an attack on Ivanka" only stands to prove my point. Not defending Bannon here but how can ANYONE do their job if they have to be afraid Ivanka will be offended and daddy will drop the hammer?

[@gusb7711]

Bannon is a very intelligent individual. He should be kept within the administration.

[@DavidHeffron78]

I think there could be more analysis of this. Only 7 people from 5 locations? Could we get 12 people from 9 locations? 15 people from 19 locations? More people! More locations!

[@modernrebel3788]

why is trump in WH?? what about Russian involvement in CAMPAIGN!!

[@ivonedefigueiredo9301]

Ahem ................ Attention "Morning Joe" producers: Time to retire Joe! This show should be named "Morning Mika", or else "Your Morning Cuppa Joe". I get really tired of Joe forever interrupting Mika, being paternalistic to Mika, and only having something to say if it involved the Reagan administration and his time in congress. I avoid watching the show for that reason, which is a pity because it could be a great show, and apart from those main issues, I do enjoy the show. At the very least send him out into the field, or perhaps he should take another holiday to reflect on his rude behaviour and limited experiential rhetoric.

[@RB-mk7ph]

What happened to Kelly Conway

[@scarletaghajani5908]

Why is it Joe is allowed to talk over everyone, especially his cchost.

[@toddtoure7041]

Scarlet Aghajani Joe is a Blowhard

[@janedoe327]

I think the show is called, "Morning Joe." It is his show, Mika is just the like the blonde T & A on game shows, turning letters...reading the morning news, not much different. Her opinion on events is not required.

[@shack276]

Scarlet Aghajani "morning Joe" it's his show that's why

[@LS-tj2ho]

Tell us how you really feel, Mika!

[@kerriemacon5603]

Show your love for America Like a American Pay your share of taxes.

[@thisfacebelievesyou8862]

"Its an absurd suggestion that [Breitbart] would muzzle critical coverage of any Senior *Jewish* White House Official". See I fixed it for you!

[@TheDennisgrass]

Thought I would never hear a bad question, but Joe proved me wrong!

[@tomtapp5093]

Trump at his sge is old. No offense but its true. I think Trump is overwhelmed by all of this and or he really does not want this job.

[@ooxxssugarpuss3078]

NOW??? There are questions NOW?????? 😂😬🤓😳

[@phaynes1077]

just curious , how much did it cost to bomb a airfield that was apparently operational the next day? did it cost more or less than his golf weekends?

[@TheRoybert]

"turd blossom". that doesn't reek of authority.

[@steve1978ger]

'oh, that kind of tools' LMFAO

[@busyteacher2]

Trump on Bannon 's bad side is not good for the orangeman because Bannon knows where the skeletons are buried. I'm sure he will gladly release them. #revenge is sweet #revenge is best served cold

[@2Exile0]

Joe is critical of everyone but Trump.

[@VanIyke]

Like Don Corleone would say .... "Never go against Family."

[@gwillya7656]

Mika is a savage "tools, like a hammer" hahah

[@OGSiX33]

What kind of Telenovela B.S. news is this? Granted, it couldn't be if Trump wouldn't bring is family into national politics, but still - this is all so cringe-worthy.

[@gitvin]

Morning Joe, the Donald J. Trump Fan Club: When exactly did that happen?

[@Yves_Ka]

Apropos Kellyanne - is she still alive?

[@Mintmakeup]

Please JOE atop being soo rude, you really make the news so tedious if you are going to keep on cutting off all people around you, it really annoys when you scream and yell again and again. BE MORE PROFESSIONAL

[@budakdk]

Someone forgot to set their phone to silent

[@chavacha]

When are they going to drop Joe and re-name the show "Morning Mika", Joe adds no value or insight to the discussion and always falls back to his Reagan days or time as a politician - boring!

[@brespeed3633]

Joe your reaching new lows.. how is attacking ones wife the first lady, the same as attacking his daughter unknown role? Mika get him together please...

[@oldseer6936]

Joe is pleading to become the replacement for Sean Spicer the Press secretary.

[@jackflash5659]

Kushner will outlast Bannon in the White House. While Trumps base like Bannons policies and his aggressiveness, Trumps has demonstrated promises made by candidate Trump are different from policies of president Trump.

[@chainmanu4902]

Trump is learning

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

I don't mind MSNBC, but this Morning Joe show is everything that is wrong with news.

[@richlester3858]

Joe, have you sent or recieved email or text from Jared Kushner? The streets are talking 🤔

[@jonamcc]

Mika: "no"

[@leimomi4343]

sigh

[@leanacarter8567]

Bannon! Your Fried! Hmmm.......

[@jean2084]

I dont think steve bannon gave Trump his nationalistic agenda. Bannon was the policy master, because he had a similar nationalist agenda. Trump alone couldn't articulate his policies, that was Bannon's doing.

[@HandInhand123]

[@switch1237]

Why don't they talk about some serious news like Syria.
