Steve Bannon on 60 Minutes: Hillary Clinton "Isn't Very Bright;" Maybe Jared Kushner Thought Firing Comey Was a Swell Idea

Three clips below.

In the first, Bannon says Hillary "isn't very bright," and then, when Charlie Rose attempts to get off that topic and ask about "ethno-nationalism," Bannon rejects ethno-nationalism but champions economic nationalism, stressing that there is no "ethno" in the question about whether you're an American citizen or not.

In the second clip, Bannon says "the media has reported" that he vehemently objected to firing James Comey, though he won't confirm that -- he just says the media has confirmed it. He also won't say if it's true, as the media has also reported, that Jared Kushner was a booster of the idea of firing Comey.

He calls the firing of Comey one of the biggest political mistakes in the modern age, given that it led to the Mueller investigation.

The last clip, via Breitbart news, has Bannon calling Bush's foreign policy team "the geniuses" -- meaning that sarcastically -- and saying he holds them "in contempt, in complete contempt."
