Washington Post political columnist Greg Sargent’s Friday piece includes this batshit excerpt about Steve Bannon’s plans to take over the GOP and make it even more MAGA than it already is:
“[Bannon] recently told a Boston audience that he hopes to see Trump run for Congress in 2022, then run for Speaker of the House (which Bannon presumes Republicans will win), then preside over the impeachment of President Biden: ‘We totally get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and the first act of President Trump as speaker will be to impeach Joe Biden for his illegitimate activities of stealing the presidency,’ Bannon said, leading to applause and hollers from the Boston Republicans. This is rank crackpottery, but here again, the singular organizing and motivating principle is the idea that Trump’s loss to Biden couldn’t possibly have been legitimate, or that there’s simply zero obligation on the part of the Trump movement to recognize it as such, and that loyalty to Trump requires unwavering fealty to that idea.”
