It’s Steve Bannon’s fault.
That’s what several prominent conservatives concluded of former White House strategist Steve Bannon Tuesday night in the wake of Democrat Doug Jones’ victory over Republican Roy Moore in Alabama’s senate race.
(…)
On Wednesday, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) blasted Bannon on CNN, saying that he looked like “some disheveled drunk who wandered onto the national stage” and suggested that the GOP should distance itself from Bannon. He continued the criticism on Twitter.

His act is tired, inane and morally vacuous. If we are to Make America Great Again for all Americans, Bannon must go! And go NOW!!
