Thursday night’s Erin Burnett segment on CNN addressed Steve Bannon’s recent comments about the media, namely that it is the “opposition party,” according to Bannon.

“This is obviously pretty stunning,” said Burnett. “This is one of the men who has the president’s ear calling the media the ‘opposition’ and doing so repeatedly.” CNN correspondent Brian Stelter called the comments “highly inappropriate,” suggesting Bannon, a top administration official, was “describing the media as the enemy.”

Neoconservative political commentator Bill Kristol responded by calling Bannon a “sensitive guy … Such a snowflake, really, right?” Kristol continued, “Poor guy, he’s in the White House. They’ve been there five, six days. He’s been looking forward to four years. Six months ago he’s editing a fringe website, now he’s in the White House.”

“He’s so insecure,” said Kristol. “I mean his boss Donald Trump is, too. All they can do is attack the media?”

1. Jeez, I find myself agreeing with people like Bill Kristol and George Will when it comes to Trump.

World turned upside down.

2. I know! And John McCain, Lindsey Graham, David Brooks!

All the moderate Repubs that are left are making a whole not more sense than this hard-right group currently in the WH. Makes your head spin.

Schumer said that they campaigned as populists and are governing as hard-right. By contrast, Reagan campaigned as hard right and governed as a moderate!

4. Charles Krauthammer too.

It appears that neocons are more sane than I previously believed.

5. It really hurt to like Lindsey Graham's Mexico tweet yesterday

But it had to be done.

We need to support these folks when they say things that make sense.

7. President Putin and co-vice presidents (U.S. section) Bannon and Kushner

8. Nailed it! The Orange Anus is just the convenient figurehead...

...and soon-to-be scapegoat. Agreed: Kushner and Bannon are the real scary ones in this mis-administration.

9. The snowflake is getting old, this is turning into a death match.

Trump wants your attention every day. He intends to rule by decree. The entire Government is being held hostage. When he manages to provoke a military confrontation it will be either total war or mutiny. With the Secret Service and private security in place he will not be that easy to remove. You are being held hostage by a genuine mad man get used to it for a while.
