“I’ve never met the guy,” Ryan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I don’t know Steve Bannon so I have no concerns. I trust Donald’s judgment. I think he will pick who will best serve him, and I’m sure we will work well with whomever his chief of staff is.”
Before joining Trump’s campaign this summer, Bannon ran the “alt-right” media organization, which hammered Ryan throughout the campaign and even accused him of being in cahoots with Hillary Clinton.
