Former Breitbart Spokesperson Kurt Bardella told CNN host John Berman that a March 13 Breitbart exclusive detailing leaked audio of House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) stating, “I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future” is merely the “continuation of a long campaign” created by Steve Bannon to take down Paul Ryan, whom he perceived to be “the enemy.” Breitbart, the pro-Trump outlet Bannon helmed before joining Trump's administration, has spent years laying the groundwork for Trump's war on Ryan, including accusing Ryan of trying to get Hillary Clinton elected, calling Ryan a “saboteur” for his disagreement with Trump over the Muslim ban, and stating that he should be “disqualified from Congress” for his views on immigration.
