Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon reportedly said during a Monday night rally in Alabama that the Republican establishment faces a "day of reckoning."
For Mitch McConnell and Ward Baker and Karl Rove and Steven Law all the instruments that tried to destroy Judge Moore and his family your day of reckoning is coming, Bannon told the crowd, according to Politico.
Bannon made the remarks at a rally for former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who on Tuesday faces off against Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in the GOP Senate primary runoff.
Bannon was referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), former senior advisor to President George W. Bush Karl Rove, former National Republican Senatorial Committee executive director Ward Baker, and Senate Leadership Fund president Steven Law.
But more important, for the donors who put up the [campaign] money and the corporatists that put up the money, your day of reckoning is coming, too.
President Trump campaigned for Strange Friday night in Huntsville, Ala. The alliance has put the president at odds with one of his former top advisers as well to his base of supporters.
Trump endorsed Strange in August before the Republican primary, a move that united him with Senate Republican leadership.
The winner of Tuesdays runoff will head to the December general election to defend the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Rove was on Fox last night castigating Trump for his attacks on the NFL.
Rove makes me barf.
When was the last time Karl wRong was right?
Well, it's The Shrill Hill's report and they don't want to acknowledge and/or confirm anything powerful, stated by a conservative.
One problem: As of midnight Sept 30. bill will need 60 votes to pass.
Guys/gals this is so much simpler:
Strange is a sitting senator. He will be in office VOTING til January.
He already fulfilled his part of the deal. He voted yes on Ocare repeal. He likely has assured DT of the right votes on future hc and tax votes.
Trump had to back him. You don’t throw in with a college player & potential draft pick, over your starfing QB who has so far only thrown a TD with no INTs no matter how much better you think the rookie will be.
Moreover, DT knows Moore will back him regardless. So Trump wins either way. This isn’t rocket science.
Oh, and I hear crom more than a few Alabamians that there are real concerns Moore will be another obstructionist purist like Rand Paul, where no bill is ever “good enough” & NO Trump agenda will be advanced.
I hope they are wrong cuz Moore (and Trump) will win.
Again the Kabuki theater, It wouldn’t surprise me by 11:59pm on the 30th something is passed. The lamestreams would cover it wall to wall and talk about the 50/50 vote w/ the Pence Tie Breaker. I spent time around certain activities that have a lot of Drama, boy oh boy IMHO the Senate are bigger Drama Queens than the show Dancing Moms...
I suspect you are right.
I suspect Mc Cain vetoed the previous effort to permit the Graham effort to surface
How about a centralized RINO website that reports on all RINO/GOPe activities and lists them?
Negotiations with a corruptocrat like strange.. gosh that’s just what we need. He gave Pelosi n shumer a blank check til December. They will come out and cry about how grandma has to have the entire govt funded so she can get gifts for her grandchildren.
That’s a pretty bad deal. What did we get? No wall, bigger and more bailouts for insurance companies.. more spending and less freedom.
I thought that was the most interesting election related line in the whole rally. An odd thing to say if not for a purpose. It suggests to me that POTUS thinks Moore will win and is making sure that the party gets the message that when he does the party had better be planning on pulling together.
I think a Moore win and a Moore win against the Dem later will put POTUS in a much stronger position to either see McConnell out as leader ot get his cooperation with moving the nominations and agenda legislation.
McCain says he is voting against this bill as well.
Heh heh ..... glad I wasn’t the only one who ‘heard’ it!! We’re interpreting it the same way!
If Moore gets in vs the McConnell stooge, then that will definitely put more pressure on McConnell.
Great vid. Bannon at his best.
Thanks for the link to his speech. I can’t believe someone like that lives here in my town. Well, Breitbart did too. Gives me hope.
