Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon told the New York Times that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his allies have been “the most outrageous” in their failure to support President Trump — adding that McConnell “has to go.”
Bannon was reacting to Republican Ed Gillespie’s defeat in the Virginia gubernatorial race. Gillespie, a former Bush aide and RNC chairman, had embraced Trump’s populist agenda late, and it had not been enough to salvage a victory.
Bannon noted that “You’re going to win some and you’re going to lose some,” but that pushing Trump’s agenda is a process, and that leads to McConnell.
“So the process now goes: why is Mitch McConnell? Because the Senate and Mitch McConnell have been the most outrageous in their lack of support of President Trump’s agenda,” Bannon told the Times’ Jeremy Peters.
