An anonymous email prankster posing as Steve Bannon spoke with the editor in chief of Brietbart, the far right-wing media organization to which Bannon returned after being ousted from the White House.
The prankster, who goes by the Twitter handle @Sinon_Reborn, describes himself as a “lazy anarchist” and recently made the news posing as a White House official to various other officials in the White House itself.
This time around, the prankster emailed Alex Marlow posing as Bannon, writing, “Reading online about how i’ll be bringing forth my wrath on Ivanka and Jared. I’d be doing this great nation a service if I did.”

“I spooked em today. Did five stories on globalist takeover positioning you as only hope to stop it,” Marlow replied before adding, “You need to own that, just have surrogates do the dirty work. Boyle, Raheem, me, Tony have been waiting for this.” He was referring to Washington editor Matthew Boyle, Breitbart London Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, and reporter Tony Lee.
The prankster then emailed a Breitbart story suggesting that Ivanka Trump had been a big part of pushing Bannon out of the White House, writing, “This was a fun read.”
Marlow replied with a personal smear against Ivanka and Jared Kushner.
“Haha.. lovely stuff,” the prankster wrote. “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.”
The prankster also apparently fooled Joel Pollak, Breitbart’s senior editor-at-large.
“No one can figure out what [Ivanka Trump and Kushner] do,” Pollak wrote to the fake Bannon.
“Had a good chat with Alex,” the prankster replied. “Seems he’s already aligning the crosshairs and making me the masked puppeteer.”
“Excellent. I just tried calling,” Pollak said. “Not sure if you have the same number. I’m at 847-XYZ-XXXX. Available anytime.”
