Grab the popcorn: Bannon says McConnell should resign

Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon on Wednesday said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should immediately resign from his leadership position and make the move effective after Congress completes its push for tax reform.

“I tell you Sean, I’m to the point, that I think Mitch McConnell, to really bring unity to the Republican Party, and get things done, I think Mitch McConnell ought to tender his resignation,” Bannon told Fox News’ “Hannity.”

Bannon said while McConnell should not leave his post as majority leader during the tax push, he should provide his resignation on Thursday or tonight.

“I think Mitch McConnell, tomorrow, should tender his resignation,” Bannon said.

Would have been a little more effective to say that Monday, Bloaty McBloatface. After your fair-haired boy Gillespie got his head handed to him, nobody in Washington is scared of you.

Not to say that McConnell shouldn't resign, but it won't be because of Steve Bannon.

Bannon and McConnell were drowning in a lake and you could only save one, what would you do?

Sit down on the bench under a shady tree and enjoy my sandwiches.

Think about it long and hard as to make the right decision. Usually doesn't take more than an hour or so to come to a decision

I'd rather see Bannon and Hannity taking a perp walk in Supermax, but that's wishful thinking.

That's probably more likely than McConnell resigning because Bannon told him to.

...will have been to give this ignorant flea ridden dime store ignorant racist a platform.

Who cares if his fellow racist McConnell isn't racist enough for this empty headed nut?

They all should go away, into the criminal dust bin of history inhabited by other fat stupid nazis.

Bannon is Goering without the uniform.
