Zurawik: We’re Overstating Bannon’s Importance

RUSH EXCERPT:
ZURAWIK: "And part of it is this. We sometimes create these scary media and political figures on the right. We did it with Karl Rove to some extent. Oh, he’s a Svengali who is going to manipulate all these things. And I really think we’re overstating Bannon’s importance. Now, it’s not that he is not very important. You know, he told “The Economist” this week, “I’m going to light up members of Congress,” I think was the language he used in terms of defending Donald Trump. And then, yesterday, we see a headline — or today — that says Paul Ryan throws in with leftists in criticizing President Trump’s pardon of Sheriff Joe. It’s a great headline for Breitbart, but throwing in with leftists is trying to really throw a hard punch on Ryan with this."
