Bannon is Serious

In a lengthy email, Bannon described Sessions as "the clearinghouse for
policy and philosophy" in Trump's administration, saying he and the senator
are joined at the center of Trump's "pro-America movement" and the global
nationalist phenomenon. "In America and Europe, working people are
reasserting their right to control their own destinies," Bannon wrote.
"Jeff Sessions has been at the forefront of this movement for years,
developing populist nation-state policies that are supported by the vast
and overwhelming majority of Americans, but are poorly understood by
cosmopolitan elites in the media that live in a handful of our larger
cities."


That is the straight stuff. From the top now, right from the Oval Office,
the Republican Party is attaching itself to contemporary white nationalism
the world over. (Here, from ThinkProgress, is my old TV pal Congressman
Steve King, going around the world to kiss jackboots of many lands.) If the
Republican Party doesn't like the way that sounds, it can distance itself
from its president and from his handlers. Or, it can own this particular
political strategy lock, stock, and armbands.
