GOP Rep Says Steve Bannon Doesn't Belong in Politics: 'He Looks Like a Disheveled Drunk'
On Tuesday, Steve Bannon indirectly helped elect a Democratic candidate to the U.S. Senate from Alabama. That fact wasn't lost on Rep. Peter King (R-NY) come Wednesday morning.
Speaking with Chris Cuomo on CNN's “New Day,” King didn't mince words on the topic of Bannon:
"I was even raising it not so much as a political issue, almost as a moral issue. This guy does not belong on the national stage. He looks like some disheveled drunk who wandered onto the political stage. He does not represent anything that I stand for.
I consider myself a conservative Republican, I consider myself an Irish Catholic, and he's sort of parading himself out there with his weird 'alt-right' views that he has, and to me it's demeaning the whole governmental and political process."
In October, Bannon promised a “war” on the GOP establishment after leaving the White House over the summer and backing Roy Moore over Luther Strange in September's Alabama primary runoff.
“It's not my war, this is our war, and y'all didn't start it, the establishment started it,” Bannon said at the Values Voter Summit . “Right now, it's a season of war against a GOP establishment.”
King continued by explaining a belief that Alabama voters explicitly rejected Bannon on Tuesday:
“This summer, I called on the president to fire him from the White House, and I think last night, Alabama was not just a political statement, that was really just a revulsion by people at his style, at his type of divisive views ... this is not the type of person we need in politics, and last night's election was a manifestation of a revulsion by the American people.”
Cuomo, taken aback by the congressman's candor, asked King to clarify what he had said. “I know where you're from, and I know you like to knuckle up every now and then, but did you just call Steve Bannon a 'disheveled drunk?'”
“No, to be very precise, I said he looks like one,” King answered.
According to the Daily Mail , Bannon gave up drinking in 1998. “I didn't have a drinking problem, but I didn't have a drinking solution,” he said in a November biography.

Since Bannon has enough money to create any personal appearance he would like, we have to assume he likes the way he looks.
I wonder if he smells like he looks.
Hey, who needs alcohol when you cook your own meth!
Being a white supremacist may actually be the tamest of Steve Bannon's sins, if you want to compare his racism to his other activities as an alleged pornographer and meth lab operator at his rented house in Florida before he became involved with the Trump administration. Award winning underwater cinematographer Lawrence Curtis rented the Miami house after Bannon vacated it. He developed insomnia, chest pains, dizziness, and other symptoms. He paid a company to come in and test the environment for toxic chemicals and found positive results for high levels of methamphetimine and cocaine. Curtis gave this interview to ShareBlue Media:
Good story. Seems like a "fight fire with fire" play.
Wow - hadn’t heard that before.
