The unnamed person added that the former chief strategist’s ouster was “done to help salvage the Presidency…two to three weeks, in my opinion, to salvage things, or it’s over.â€
There has also been speculation that the couple’s faith may have played a role, with the Daily Mail quoting a source as saying, “They were concerned about how they were being viewed by the Jewish community.â€
Bannon has been blamed by some for influencing President Trump’s controversial comment attributing the violence at a Charlottesville rally of white nationalists to “many sides.â€
The rabbi who helped Ivanka convert to Judaism sent out a joint letter with two other rabbis, stating, “We are appalled by this resurgence of bigotry and anti-Semitism, and the renewed vigor of the neo-Nazis, KKK and alt-right. While we always avoid politics, we are deeply troubled by the moral equivalency and equivocation President Trump has offered in his response to this act of violence.â€
Nevertheless, President Trump has called Bannon a “good person†and “not a racist.â€
And shortly after Bannon’s ouster from the White House and return to Breitbart News, Trump tweeted, “Steve Bannon will be a tough and smart new voice at @BreitbartNews…maybe even better than ever before. Fake News needs the competition!â€
