Bannon doesn’t speak for Trump – Carswellfamilyfoundation

Corey Lewandowski said Steve Bannon is not speaking for President-elect Trump, reacting to the former strategist’s recent remarks about the federal government.

“Nobody speaks for the president but the president, and what the president said and how he said it last night on stage is that he will be a president for everyone, and right now we have an opportunity to unite the country. to unite this country,” Lewandowski, a senior adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign, said during an appearance Wednesday on NewsNation’s “Dan Abrams Live.”

Lewandowski’s response came after host Dan Abrams asked him about Bannon’s comments on Wednesday after Trump won the US presidential election against Vice President Harris. Bannon railed against federal agencies and MSNBC, saying they were trying to “ruin this country.”

“You stole the 2020 election” – Bannon said on Wednesday. “You mocked and ridiculed, jailed people and ruined their lives because you said this thing was stolen. All this falsehood is swept away. Biden is being forced out. Kamala Harris is being washed out.”

“MSNBC is being pushed out,” he added. “The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) is failing. The FBI has been forced out. You people suck, okay? And now you will pay the price for trying to destroy this country.”

Lewandowski said Wednesday that he knows and respects Bannon, “but he does not speak for this administration; he does not speak for President Trump.”

“Look, there’s going to be a lot of hyperbole; there will be a lot of people who will say they know Donald Trump or will speak on his behalf,” he said. “If you don’t hear it from Donald Trump, you don’t have to listen to what other people have to say.”

Bannon, the former chief strategist of the Trump White House, was released from prison a week before election day. He served a four-month sentence after refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
