Breitbart Alumni Launch 'Populist-Nationalist' Group

Patrick Howley, a former Breitbart News reporter, left the site under vague circumstances back in November. Howley told me at the time that he was leaving of his own volition because the site had become more “controlled” after the departure of Steve Bannon, the organization’s former chairman who was hired for a top job in the Trump campaign and will be the White House’s chief strategist in the incoming administration.

Now, however, Howley and other alumni are starting their own group designed to enforce Trump’s agenda, combined with a planned media arm. So far, the group, which they are calling the America First Project, has surfaced in the press for trying to the current chairman of the Florida Republican Party, who is seen by some alumni to form their own group indicates that ideological factions are already taking shape within the Trumpist populist-nationalist movement, even before its leader takes office.
