Steve Bannon Says He's 'Uncowed' by Roy Moore Loss

STEVE BANNON SAYS HE’S ‘TOTALLY UNCOWED’ BY ROY MOORE LOSS, VOWS TO FIGHT GOP IN 2018

BY ALEXANDER NAZARYAN ON 12/14/17 AT 6:20 AM

On Monday night, in rural southwestern Alabama, Stephen K. Bannon offered a fiery case for Roy S. Moore, the former chief state justice running for the U.S. Senate as a conservative Republican. Some twelve hours later, he was in a downtown Montgomery ballroom, watching with hundreds of Moore supporters as Democratic candidate Doug Jones overcame historic and demographic odds to win the election.

Twitter quickly lit up with predictions that Bannon’s career as a political guru was done. But later that night, in a humble hotel room on the outskirts of Montgomery, the former Trump campaign manager and chief White House strategist forcefully countered any such assertions, vowing to carry his populist message into the 2018 midterm elections.

“Totally uncowed,” Bannon said of himself, even as pundits were writing his political obituary.

Losing a Republican seat in Alabama, however, isn’t much fun. And Bannon conceded that Moore, who was twice removed as the chief judge of Alabama for defying federal law, may not have been the perfect executor of Bannon’s vision of economic nationalism.

Why, oh why, must the press hang on his every word? Bannon and Trump are living proof there is no such thing as bad press.

he still has to make a living and wants to get hired. Of course he needs to pretend it wasn't his fault and he's ready for 2018 candidates.

I look forward to the day when he is either frogmarched off to prison, or deported. That bag of human waste should have been deported years ago.
