Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon in his first broadcast interview since leaving the Trump administration said the far right is “not happy” with President Trump’s decision on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“Look what he did on DACA the other day. Okay, I don’t agree with that DACA decision, but I understand how he struggled with it. I understand how he’s giving a possibility of a legislative thing,” Bannon told CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

“Trust me, the guys on the far right, the guys on the conservative side, are not happy with this.”
