White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon condemned white nationalist "clowns" in an interview Wednesday, but continued to hit Democrats over "identity politics", saying if they talked about race every day he could ensure Republican election victories.

“The Democrats, the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em," the former head of Breitbart told The American Prospect in an interview. "I want them to talk about racism every day."

"If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats,” he added.

Bannon's comments came after a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. turned violent over the weekend, resulting in one death and at least 19 injuries.

Bannon went on to dismiss the white nationalists who rallied in the college town as "clowns" who had been played up by the media. Bannon conceded that the White House did, however, need to play a bigger role in marginalizing white nationalist influence.

“These guys are a collection of clowns,” Bannon said. “Ethno-nationalism—it's losers. It's a fringe element. I think the media plays it up too much, and we gotta help crush it, you know, uh, help crush it more."
Bannon's job at the White House has reportedly been at risk in recent days as pressure builds on President Trump to dump the nationalist wing of his coalition.

Reuters cited three White House officialsearlier Wednesday who said that Bannon could be demoted by Trump, who they described as "nervous" about the blowback from punishing Bannon.

"The president obviously is very nervous and afraid of firing him," a source told Reuters on Wednesday.

And he's probably not wrong about this.

 

[Pressure]

He's feeling himself a little too much.

But what he's really saying is he supports ethno-nationalism he just doesn't want to talk about it. He likes his racism on the low.

[Pressure]

And he's probably not wrong about this.

Nah, when most people think of identity politics they are usually thinking about gays, trans, and Mexicans. That's why a lot of conservative blacks didn't come out and vote. But it's not just dems talking about it, you actually she a lot of republicans being forced to come out condemning it in some way shape or form.

All it required was 30k people coming out to vote the other way.

The strategy was effective in 2016. But a lot of their strategy relates to suppressing the vote. They know they can't win with only their base.

Bannon even tries to float policy proposals like a new tax bracket for the rich in "tax reform" that may sound like something the left wants.
