Bannon: I want Democrats to talk about racism every day

White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon condemned white nationalist "clowns" in an interview Wednesday, but continued to hit Democrats over "identity politics", saying if they talked about race every day he could ensure Republican election victories.

“The Democrats, the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em," the former head of Breitbart told The American Prospect in an interview. "I want them to talk about racism every day."

"If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats,” he added.

Bannon's comments came after a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. turned violent over the weekend, resulting in one death and at least 19 injuries.

had the cojones, they'd recall Bannon to Naval service citing "radical Islamic terrorism" and put him on a ship out in Guam for however long the "war" lasts.

His future shipmates would have no trouble making their first act thowing him in the shower and scrubbing him down with a wire brush.

gop is not even on board with "economic nationalism". It doesn't matter what democrats talk about, media refuses to cover it unless it's republican talking points or response to republicans.
