Bannon has no political experience to speak of, though his news outlet has been one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders throughout the campaign. This has led to some uncomfortable moments for the conservative news outlet, including this spring when Corey Lewandowski roughly yanked then-Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields away from Trump at a campaign rally as she tried to ask the candidate a question. Breitbart went out of its way to bolster the Trump campaign's version of events, at the expense of its own reporter. Fields ended up resigning and is now a reporter at the Huffington Post.
