Former Trump official Steve Bannon was disinvited from the 19th annual "New Yorker Festival" Monday, after David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, first invited him for a "serious" and "combative" conversation in which Remnick promised to pose "difficult" questions to Bannon.
The invitation led to mass Twitter protest from readers, staff members and other invitees to the event who said they would not attend if Bannon remained on the schedule.
