>>> 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.
