Former Trump advisor says Steve Bannon only touted the former president's baseless voter fraud claim
A former Trump campaign aide said in an interview published this week that he didn't think Steve Bannon believed any of Trump's baseless voter fraud claims but touted them anyway to secure a presidential pardon.
Sam Nunberg, a former Trump campaign aide turned political consultant, spoke to The Atlantic for an article on Bannon titled "American Rasputin." Bannon and Nunberg both worked on the Trump campaign in 2016, before Bannon became the former president's chief strategist.
"Steve was in on the joke," said Nunberg, per The Atlantic. "He never believed that the election would be overturned. Steve needed a pardon."
"The tragedy of Steve Bannon is that when he leaves the White House, he's known as the great manipulator, the intellectual heavy of the international populist uprising," Nunberg added, per the outlet. "But still he ends up in the fetal position at Donald Trump's feet."

Like Trump so long as Bannon can grift some money off this he'll push the conspiracy.
