Conservative groups get behind Bannon revolt

Tea party groups and other prominent grass-roots conservative operations say they are on board with Steve Bannon’s crusade to oust the entire slate of incumbent Republicans because the former White House political strategist is tapping into the same anti-establishment mood they have been sensing for a while.

The groups say they are active in every election but expect 2018 to be a banner year for ousting incumbent Republicans. They say their base is outraged that, despite having control of both the House and Senate, Republicans have yet to notch major conservative wins.

Mr. Bannon, who is now back running the Breitbart website, isn’t calling the shots for the movement, according to the groups. But the former Trump adviser is on to something.

“We’re going to be extraordinarily active,” said David Bozell, head of For America. “Some establishment guys, it’s not going to necessarily take a conservative movement upheaval to defeat them. You’re going to see a lot of folks stay home because of lack of results.”

Conservatives and tea party supporters can’t go any lower by supporting a know fascist who wants to destroy America.

Funny how no one ever had a problem with Trump until he ran against Killery Klinton.
