REPORT: Steven Bannon called Jared Kushner a 'cuck'

Nope, not a joke. The Daily Beast reports:

Here’s the opener:

Donald Trump’s chief strategist Stephen Bannon has called the president’s senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner a “cuck” and a “globalist” during a time of high tension between the two top aides, several Trump administration officials told The Daily Beast.

The fighting between Kushner and Bannon has been “nonstop” in recent weeks, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. It’s been an “open secret” that Bannon and Kushner often clash “face-to-face,” according to senior officials.

One official said Bannon has lately complained about Kushner trying to “shiv him and push him out the door” and likened him to a fifth column in the White House.

“[Steve] recently vented to us about Jared being a ‘globalist’ and a ‘cuck’…He actually said ‘cuck,’ as in “cuckservative,’” the administration official told The Daily Beast.

And according to Asawin Suebsaeng, the piece’s author, Bannon’s use of “cuck” is nothing new:

this got left on the editing floor, but i confirmed w/ ex-Breitbarter & a ex-Bannon associate: he loves using "cuck" https://t.co/qbcXB1dYG5

Suebsaeng reports that Bannon likes that other C-word, too:

…almost as much as Bannon loves using the term "cunt." https://t.co/jSef3R6Dplhttps://t.co/bbb37ndnIn

Both Bannon and Kushner are expected at Mar-a-Lago this weekend for the visit with China’s president, but the pool is reporting that Kusner wasn’t on Air Force One:

Ok, so Bannon is aboard AF1. Kushner is not, which means he’s traveling separately.

This should be a fun weekend for everyone. https://t.co/lchfhy0WOm
