The New Yorker has disinvited former White House senior adviser Steve Bannon from its annual festival in the wake of public criticism from celebrities who said they wouldn’t attend the event if Bannon was allowed to participate.

The magazine announced the decision to disinvite Bannon from its New Yorker Festival Monday evening, just hours after the list of guests was published online. The New Yorker’s editor, David Remnick, was originally slated to interview Bannon onstage. Bannon, who served as chief strategist for President Trump, is also widely credited with guiding the president’s successful campaign strategy.
