News broke on Tuesday morning that top Trump political strategist Steve Bannon had been kicked off the National Security Council — and the internet wasted no time celebrating.
Bannon, a controversial figure who once boasted about transforming Breitbart News into a “platform for the alt-right,” has made countless enemies over the years with his attacks on both liberals and conservatives alike.
Given this, it’s not surprising that news of his ouster was greeted with lusty cheers all across Twitter. A sample of the top reactions follows below.
O Happy Day!

Steve Bannon left the National Security Council because his skills as a racist anti-semitic piece of shit were needed elsewhere.

Bannon will use all this new free time to do what he does best, make sweet love to a handle of Wild Turkey and a bucket of Carl's Jr chili
