Steve Bannon refuses to back down in his war with Mitch McConnell. In an interview with the New York Times released this week, Bannon makes his feelings perfectly clear. He wants McConnell’s power to be stripped away from him.
“I have an objective that Mitch McConnell will not be majority leader, and I believe will be done before this time next year,” Bannon said.
Bannon isn’t the only conservative who’s fed up with McConnell. President Trump’s agenda has been struggling to get through Congress because of McConnell’s lack of support. He’s fractured the party and done a horrible job supporting the president.
Voters can sense the decay infecting establishment Republicans. The party has experienced multiple embarrassing losses since lost November.
“And we had, you know, Big Luther in Alabama. We had Corker in Tennessee, and we had Flake in Arizona, and there’ll be more,” Bannon said.
“There’ll be more. Don’t think that you know — not one of these senators has run out there and said publicly and said, ‘I want the endorsement of Mitch McConnell.’ Yet they’re all coming to us.”
Historians may one day describe our era as one that ushered in a host of political changes. People are eschewing dogma and thinking for themselves.
“And remember, it’s just not me,” Bannon said.
“It’s played up in the media as. It’s really about 25 of these grass-roots organizations that really haven’t had a voice. You saw them come together in the Judge Moore primary in Alabama, but it’s about 25, all grass-roots, all representing the hobbits. Right?”
