Steve Bannon:war within GOP, lashes out at Bush administration 'idiots' / mainstream media

Steve Bannon, in his first extensive interview since he left the White House last month, hinted at a looming war not with the opposing Democratic Party, but within the GOP itself.

“The Republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election,” Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who helped lead Donald Trump's successful presidential campaign, told CBS News’ Charlie Rose in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday. “[Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell, and to a degree, [House Speaker] Paul Ryan. They do not want Donald Trump’s populist, economic nationalist agenda to be implemented. It’s very obvious. It’s very obvious what they are trying to do.”

I’ve been trying to find the whole interview to watch.

If anyone knows where it might be found please ping me. I don’t watch to hear just excerpts, or quotes, or interpretations. I would hope it makes it to youtube or some news site eventually.

I looked at the Compost article and my eyes saw a sentence about Bannon being fired.

He wasn’t fired, so I’m not going to read the rest of it.

The “news” is pure crap worse than I’ve ever seen.

He kinda did by following through on the threat to work with the Dems and then berate and mock McConnell and Ryan. The president is the head of the party. He just doesn’t seem to like it current configuration. I see this CR deal as similar to a vote of no coincidence in a parliamentary system. Problem is there is no good replacements obvious in the Senate no clue about the house. I wonder if Rand Paul is going to be the next leader. Marco might be okay. Kicking folks off of committees at least chairmanships. Man they all suck. How about ted I’m way smarter than you cruz. At least the doctor the conciecious canadian and the robot got into the big game came out here and interacted with the american people.

War with the Dems lol? He just negotiated a deal with Nancy n chuck to get rid of the debt ceiling. Blank checks for dem programs. That’s not a war, that’s a surrender.

Surrender? It’s just a three-month lift of the debt cieling in exchange for disaster-relief funds. But no, eff those effers suffering in texas, ammiright?!

Blank checks for dem programs? Is your homeboy paul rino gonna sign off on those checks? Really?

You really think the Dems would have blocked a stand-alone Harvey aid bill?

Is your homeboy paul rino gonna sign off on those checks?

Better to keep the heat on Ryan than to work with Schumer.

Paul Ryan & McConnell are king & queen swamp rats. Leveraging Pelosi & Schumer to put those liars in their place is great.

Agreed, trump is surrendering to the worst of the worst.I very much suspect that Trump’s ego
prevents him from understanding the
fact that much of his “support” is
really not that, so much as LOATHING
for all things on the left, including
their cheerleaders. That’s where I
stand. If I see him getting into bed
with those assholes, I’m out of his
camp because I firmly believe that
everything the left supports is bad
for America.

And, make no mistake the Rat party is going to use this deal with Trump in the next election to show their nonpartisan genius. I very much suspect that Trump’s ego
prevents him from understanding the

really not that so much as LOATHING
for all things on the left, including

It’s a continuing resolution. How come you didn’t say Paul Rino surrendered when he did it?
