On Thursday morning, GOP strategist Karl Rove lambasted Steve Bannon in the Wall Street Journal for his involvement in Republican primaries.
By Thursday afternoon, Bannon’s allies were already plotting their revenge: mobilization against North Carolina Republican Rep. Robert Pittenger — Rove’s pick in that race.
“I’m familiar enough with Bannon’s 2018 efforts that this race has gone to the top of his list,” said Ned Ryun, a conservative strategist and the founder and CEO of the group American Majority Action. “It’s in direct correlation with the op-ed Karl Rove wrote. There will be consequences for these actions.”
Bannon, Donald Trump’s former chief strategist who has returned to helm the hard-right outlet Breitbart, has cast the 2018 primary season as a war against the Republican establishment and is now prominently involved in a series of GOP contests across the country. To date, his emphasis has been on the Senate.
But Bannon’s associates say he is now turning his attention to Pittenger and the congressman’s primary challenger, Mark Harris, and intends to meet with Harris.

So it is OK for Rove to be involved in Republican primaries but people such as Bannon need to stay out. Hey Karl, go screw yourself.
Hope Bannon doesn’t forget Burr and Tillis.
Glad to hear House races are getting his attention.
Rove is backing Pittenger. Pittenger has surely made some promises to get that backing. Pittenger’s pro Trump credentials are getting pretty hazy if Rove is backing him. Rove doesn’t back someonee who will oppose the Oligarchy.
Can I be falling in love with Bannon?
Tokyo Rove has been an open sore on the butt of his elitist establishment republicans for decades.
I wish Bannon all the best in taking HIM down along with the rest of the vermin. Besides Trump, I can’t think of anyone who is as strong, smart, and as qualified to be our president in 2024.
Why not? Every gosh darn patriotic American is, let’s party!
Anybody backed by Rove is a Cheap Labor Express stooge, count on it.
Tillis for sure has to go.
I’ve waited for him for a long time!! We can all swoon romantically for someone who FINALLY A) gets it and B) has balls!!!!
Mark Harris lost to Pittenger by 133 votes in the 2016 NC primary. Hopefully Bannon will help Harris win this time.
We ve needed this for a long time. Remake the Gop or start another party.
2018 will be interesting....four or five RINO senators are up..hope they all get primaries
Time to can the”canned ham” Tokyo Rove.. Well past its use by date ....
Some FReeper called Rove “the world’s oldest fetus”.
Thirty-three seats are up for election in 2018:
Neither Senate seat is up in NC.
