I'm only about four minutes in and needed to pause. The tight camera on his face is brutal.
He's obviously a drinker, but I think he might also be insane. He sounds like the kind of person who's gone a long time saying and doing what he wants with no filter and no push back. |
Did you notice his jugular vein throbbing when he was being challenged? Scary shot. Guy is a walking aneurism, |
A few really great clips didn't make air:

"Limousine liberals" - so that's where that stupid phrase comes from. |
Yes, I'd like to know this too. Also, Charlie Rose has got to be one of the most annoying TV personalities ever. |
He has a chubby face and Charlie Rose doesn't The angle would not have mattered as the evil that is Steve Bannon is visible from any angle. |
I am so glad Rose asked about the relationship with the Mercers.
(this is sarcasm, since he didn't ask) |
It didn't zoom on from below. Charlie Rose was shown from a longer distance because he was the interviewer, not the interviewee. This is pretty standard stuff. You focus more closely on the person being interviewed than on the person doing the interviewing. And again, it wasn't showing him "from below." |
To the linguists out there: why does Steve Bannon sound like he's from Pittsburgh?
He's from Virginia, but his accent on this interview was very western Pennsylvania / Baltimore like (which, despite being geographically far away are similar accents). What gives? |
It was pretty obvious. The guy's ideas are wacky and woe betide anyone who challenges him. He seems to think he is possessed of some great intellect. BTW the RoguePOTUSStaff Twitter account went silent just a couple days before General Kelly fired his ass. Looks like Bannon was leaking after all. |
So PPs think he's a drinker, find his business location suspect, question his accent and thought his jugular was throbbing but so far no one can give any examples of what he said during the interview that was evil and wicked. Anyone? |
Looking for specifics here, not your impressions. |
Watch the interview yourself. |
Wacky ideas and perhaps a false sense of great intellect are a far cry from wicked and evil. |
He oozed anger from beyond his bloodshoot eyes, lipsticked lips, and unexplainable stack of black shirts. He called himself a street fighter, but he's just a hateful dork. His ideas about how America was built by Americans was some revisionist bullshit. Much of America was built by exploiting non-citizen slave labor. He must know this. |
