Steve Bannon met with Tom Tancredo about a possible run for Colorado governor, Tancredo says

Two-time candidate for governor and former congressman uses winking emoji to say two had talked

Tom Tancredo said Thursday that he sat down with former White House strategist Stephen Bannon and hinted that the two hard-right agitators discussed the possibility of Tancredo running for Colorado governor next year.

Responding to a series of emailed questions, Tancredo wrote that Bannon was in-state following his efforts Tuesday to help Alabama arch-conservative Roy Moore beat incumbent U.S. Sen. Luther Strange in a Republican primary.

“Ok. What the hell. He is here and yes we met. Fascinating guy. No idea what else his plans are here or frankly, what brought him here. But you know he is my boss at Breitbart!” wrote Tancredo, a contributor to the far-right Breitbart News, where Bannon serves as executive chairman.

Asked whether they discussed the governor’s race, Tancredo responded with a winking emoji and the line: “come to think of it, I believe it came up.”

I don't seem to recall him being mentioned at all with respect to this investigation. How did he manage to keep his nose clean (if it really is clean) in this Trump WH?

If those two sat down together, I hope they burned the chairs afterwards. And the table they were sitting at. And the building they met in. I hope Colorado voters haven't forgotten about Tancredo.
