DRUDGE: Steve Bannon Now “In The Arms” Of Fugitive Chinese Billionaire After Break With Rebekah Mercer

Billionaire far-right activist Rebekah Mercer is reportedly on the outs with Steve Bannon over his incendiary quotes in the coming Trump administration tell-all. Robert Mercer, her father, sold his stake in Breitbart to his daughter in early November.

But according to a tweet posted today by homocon Matt Drudge, Bannon is now “in the arms” of fugitive Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, whom Breitbart has previously characterized as a “dissident.”

From an October report:

President Donald Trump was reportedly on the verge of deporting billionaire Chinese fugitive Guo Wengui, but changed his mind after aides informed him that Guo is a fellow billionaire and a member in good standing at the president’s Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago. According to Vanity Fair‘s Isobel Thompson, Guo is wanted on charges of rape, bribery and kidnapping in his native China.

Much like Trump, the international fugitive is a wealthy real-estate developer with a massive Twitter following and an intense interest in building and promoting his personal brand. Longtime Trump friend and casino magnate Steve Wynn delivered Trump a letter from the Chinese government demanding Guo’s extradition. Trump was inclined to take his friend’s advice, in spite of the conflict of interest posed by the fact that Wynn is dependent upon China’s approval to obtain licenses for his casinos in Macau.
