For those who’ve forgotten one of the worst elements of the 2016 election, a short refresher is in order. Almost from the moment that Donald Trump descended on the lobby of Trump Tower to make his campaign announcement, an army of online trolls leapt to his defense. They cheered his denunciation of Mexicans as “rapists,” they relished his attacks on so-called globalism, and heaven help anyone who dared attack their populist hero.
I’m speaking, of course, about the alt-right, that motley crew of white nationalists, neo-Confederates, and outright Nazis who share a common belief that culture is inseparable from ethnicity. To these folks, Western civilization cannot exist unless it is a white civilization.
The alt-right’s primary “contribution” to Trump’s election was a sustained, vicious assault on his opponents. I’ve told my story before. I saw our young daughter photo-shopped into gas chambers, terrible images of dead and dying black men and women plastered all over my wife’s blog, e-mailed threats, and terrifying phone hacks. And I was hardly alone. My friend Ben Shapiro endured an avalanche of anti-Semitism. Erick Erickson’s family faced a nightmare of threats. There was hardly a conservative Trump opponent who didn’t face such trash to some degree. I knew multiple journalists who, for the first times in their careers, legitimately feared not just for their lives but for their family members’ lives as well.
In response to this evil movement, Breitbart stood out among prominent conservative outlets, publishing perhaps the most influential apologetic for the alt-right and promoting that piece’s co-author, Milo Yiannopoulos, as its premiere writer and personality. Yiannopoulos himself “trolled” and attacked Trump’s opponents relentlessly, blasting out anti-Semitic messages at his targets and inspiring legions of Twitter followers to do the same.

Clearly, the writer of this screed is a GOPe apologist douche.
They want Bannon gone so that they will have Trump surrounded by Uniparty moles.
And to separate Trump from his base.
Then they can get back to business as usual, importing cheap labor and selling out America.
Well now. That NatRev has come out for the firing of Steve Bannon.
I was on the fence about him. But now I’m clear. The NatRev wants him gone?
I’m all for him. Yay Steve Bannon!
If National Review wants Bannon fired, then he must be doing something right. To my ears, it’s a ringing endorsement.
and the Ukraine meddler McCain...
Sure, French, Trump is going to listen to an anti-Trumper nitwit on this subject. What a waste of electrons.

David French is a Mittlover traitor.
The ONLY reason he and his wife ever got a pass was she ghostwrote Sarah Palin’s books, and I believe she still runs Bristol Palin’s blog.
LOL, here is the RINO spy in the camp for Palin: the Frenches. Could never understand why she stuck up for the RINOBushes all these years... her org infiltrated by former Bush White House peeps and friends of Nicole Wallace/Rove/Steve Schmidt.
The Frenches are very strange people. I wish Palin would publicly sever ties.
Fire David French, with prejudice.
national review was, years ago, worth reading
now it is about as useful as Slate or the HuffingPost
krap
(Bannon still looks pretty good to me, it is McMaster that needs to be replaced ASAP I think)
My respect for Steve Bannon just increased ten-fold.
Frenchie needs to shut up and go back to irrelevant corner. Never take advice from a Never Trumper.
The only “useful” thing to be done with the National Review is to us it as a “backup” when you are out of toilet paper.
David French was Bill Kristol’s first choice for President on an independent ticket.
Wasn’t David French the arse clown that wee Bill Kristol was shopping as the “alternative” to Trump? That was until darlin’ Billie got a schoolgirl crush on Egg McMuffin Head.
Trump will have the most successful presidency ever if he listens carefully to their advice, and does the opposite.
Every. Single. Time.
