G.O.P. Establishment Declares Open Season on a Weakened Bannon

[HipChick]

Washington Republicans have no intention of patting Mr. Bannon on the head. They intend to kneecap him before he has the chance to recover.“First is to dry up his money,” said Scott W. Reed, the chief political strategist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a pillar of the Republican establishment, explaining how top Republicans in Washington were making a new round of calls to donors across the country to press them not to donate to Mr. Bannon or the candidates he supports.
Mr. Bannon seems far from chastened. He has already instructed writers at his Breitbart website to use the site as a battering ram against Mr. McConnell. Others in the conservative media are already on message, like the radio host Mark Levin, who said the Alabama defeat was the result of “not-so-clever shenanigans and efforts by the not-so-smart McConnell.”
On Wednesday morning, Mr. Bannon listened and nodded approvingly as callers into his radio show described Mr. McConnell as “a snake” and a “travesty to the country,” happy to hear they were in agreement about where the blame for Alabama lay.
