Steve Bannon uses White House office to promote new book linking Democrats with Nazis

On Friday, right-wing commentator deleted tweets he posted about a visit he made to the White House to promote his new book — with some help from White House staffers Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka.

D’Souza, who was convicted of a felony in 2014 for making illegal contributions to a Republican U.S. Senate candidate, tweeted that he “stopped by the White House to brief Steve Bannon and [Sebastian Gorka] on how Trump can flip the accusation of fascism on the Democratic left.”

A photo accompanying the tweet shows Bannon posing with one arm around D’Souza, while the other holds a copy of D’Souza’s new book, Big Lie.

everyday now.

We are about to be hit with a "whole new set of facts" regarding Democrats and fascism.

The "best news show on TV" "Fox and Friends" was chattering about it this morning.

You can bet - 'tweet's' coming soon!

And they'd ignore you just like all the rest.

Now, if you were a Russian bot transmitting negative shit about Hillary all over social media - you could have an impact!

Or ten. Your brain has obviously already been compromised by the booze, a little more can't hurt.

All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.

-Mien Kampf

or as it has been paraphrased- Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it
