Email Prankster Cons Breitbart Editor Into Promising to Do Steve Bannon’s ‘Dirty Work,’ Oust Javanka

Editor Says He’ll Try to Get Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner ‘Out by End of Year’

A well-known email “prankster” over the weekend successfully posed as Steve Bannon in emails to Breitbart editors who responded by promising to do his “dirty work.” Bannon was fired by the Trump White House as chief strategist Friday, and immediately returned to the far right wing website he once bragged was the platform for the “alt-right.”

CNN’s Oliver Darcy and Jake Tapper first reported on the email exchanges, identifying the perpetrator as using the Twitter handle @SINON_REBORN. Tapper reported on the emails on his Tuesday afternoon show:

“In the emails, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow pledged that he and several other top editors would do Bannon’s ‘dirty work’ against White House aides,” CNN reports. 

“In other emails, Marlow suggested he could have Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump ousted from the White House “by end of year” and shared a personal smear about their private lives, perhaps an indication of how low the website is willing to go to achieve its agenda.”

Marlow then shared a personal smear about the private life of Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Kushner. CNN has chosen not to repeat the smear because it is unfounded and unsubstantiated. 

“Haha.. lovely stuff,” replied the fake Bannon account. “So do you think you’ll have them packed and shipping out before Christmas?” 

“Let me see what I can do… hard to know given your description of them as evil,” Marlow replied. “I don’t know what motivates them. If they are semi normal, then yes, they out by end of year.”

Marlow also told the fake Bannon that he did “five stories on globalist takeover positioning you as only hope to stop it.”

“You need to own that, just have surrogates do the dirty work. Boyle, Raheem, me, Tony have been waiting for this,” Marlow added, referring to Washington editor Matthew Boyle, Breitbart London Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, and reporter Tony Lee.

The fake Bannon also fooled Breitbart senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak.

“No one can figure out what [Ivanka Trump and Kushner] do,” Pollak wrote in an email to the fake Bannon account.

On Twitter the “prankster” posted screenshots of some of the emails:
