Smerconish: You Can’t Hold Bannon Accountable for Everything Published at Breitbart

‘People are trying to hold him accountable for a lot of words and a lot of headlines that aren’t his’

CAMEROTA: "But I mean, they were Breitbart. If he was running Breitbart, were -- wasn't he responsible for the content?"
SMERCONISH: "I don't think you can hold him accountable for everything that was put on that website. Look, I'm not a defender of the tone of that website. I think that it leads to the coarsening of the language. But David Horowitz, for example, you know, wrote that headline pertaining to Bill Kristol. I don't think that it's fair to hold Steve Bannon accountable for what David Horowitz says were 'my words.' But here's my take away from the interview. He sounds very establishment-like. You know, read the totality of that interview, and you hear a guy who says, 'Can I work with Paul Ryan to advance Donald Trump's agenda?' Quote, 'Oh, yes.' He speaks about needing to maintain the coalition that he's established with Reince Priebus and the RNC. And I thought, boy, this is not the guy any longer from the outside throwing stones toward the establishment."
