Trump henchmen and MAGA orchestrator Steve Bannon has been exposed as not only being in the Epstein files, but as a close friend and ally who tried to rehabilitate the dead pedophile sex trafficker’s image while plotting to oust Pope Francis, who was too progressive in his Christian nationalist views.
All this happened in 2019, before Epstein was arrested in July of that year. In fact, Bannon was texting with Epstein the day he was arrested.
CNN reports that Bannon wanted to take down the Pope so he could promote his horrific religious views: “Will take down (Pope) Francis,” Bannon wrote to Epstein in June 2019. “The Clintons, Xi, Francis, EU – come on, brother.”
After Bannon left the White House in August of 2017, he went on a radical Christian campaign to spread his wingnut nationalism into Europe, and the Pope stood in his way.
The BBC reported that in text exchange “Bannon apparently strategized with Epstein on how to change the narrative around his past crimes, suggesting “first we need to push back on the lies” and “rebuild your image as philanthropist.”
