Let them call you racists: Steve Bannon delivers fighting speech to Frances National Front

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former White House senior staffer Stephen K. Bannon addressed France’s far-right National Front on Saturday, heralding the global populist tide and attacking the “opposition party media.”

Bannon’s surprise visit to the party’s conference in Lille — announced via Twitter late Friday — was his most recent stop on a European tour that has included Switzerland along with Italy, where last week, voters abandoned establishment parties and opted for a hung Parliament dominated by right-wing anti-immigrant populists.

“I came to Europe as an observer and to learn,” Bannon said, wearing his typical rugged attire before a cadre of the party elite dressed in suits.

“What I’ve learned is that you’re part of a worldwide movement, that is bigger than France, bigger than Italy, bigger than Hungary — bigger than all of it. And history is on our side,” he said. “The tide of history is with us, and it will compel us to victory after victory after victory.”

1. Bannon: non grata in the US, looking for legitimacy elsewhere

He's washed up in the US. Europe isn't going to embrace him. Democracy is going to win and Bannon will be forgotten by history.

Bye, felicia.

2. What did they do, trade Bannon for Le Pen? Can we trade them Coulter and Hannity for

a baugette and a player to be named later?

3. A little bit of color --

Just after the inauguration, when he was on the National Security Counsel (along with Flynn), someone asked why on earth he should be on the NSC. I don't remember who it was, but the response was because he's "an expert on nationalist movements" around the world.
