Ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon went on the attack against the editor of the New Yorker after he caved to pressure and canceled Bannon’s appearance on a panel discussion at the New Yorker festival.

According to Fox News:

David Remnick, the editor of the New Yorker, said on Monday that the magazine would take back its invitation to Steve Bannon after threats from liberal speakers who refused to share the stage with the ex-Trump aide. 

In an email statement to the Associated Press, Bannon wrote: “After being contacted several months ago and with seven weeks of continual requests for this event, I accepted The New Yorker’s invitation with no thought of an honorarium.”

“The reason for my acceptance was simple: I would be facing one of the most fearless journalists of his generation. In what I would call a defining moment, David Remnick showed he was gutless when confronted by the howling online mob,” he added.

…

“I’ve thought this through and talked to colleagues — and I’ve re-considered,” Remnick, who has repeatedly denounced Trump and his administration, wrote of his decision on Bannon. “There is a better way to do this. Our writers have interviewed Steve Bannon for The New Yorker before, and if the opportunity presents itself I’ll interview him in a more traditionally journalistic setting as we first discussed, and not on stage.”

Many celebrities including Jimmy Fallon and Patton Oswalt stated they wouldn’t attend if Bannon was invited. This is further evidence of the liberal elites not wanting to have their illogical ideas challenged. This sadly seems to be the pattern.
