At best, Bannon is an unhinged flamethrower and was once described by pundit, Dana Loesch, as “one of the worst people on God’s green earth.”

He is also a rabidly devoted toady to Donald Trump.

This news may come as a shock to RNC Chairman, Reince Priebus, who was named as the potential Chief of Staff by Trump’s transition team. It would be absolutely faithful to who Trump is, however.

To quote a colleague:

I’ve never seen a potential Chief of Staff pick come pre-soaked in gasoline before.

It’s going to be a glorious four years.
