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 governors race, Tancredo responded with a winking emoji and the line: come to think of it, I believe it came up.
