Bannon: Mike Whatley is “not MAGA”

Posted on by

Steve Bannon – one of the architects of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement as well as one of the brains behind  Donald Trump’s 2016 victory — is making it crystal clear to his fans that former RNC and NCGOP chairman Michael Whatley ain’t one of us.  

This makes Bannon the second Trump-connected figure to come out against Whatley (the alleged Trump choice for North Carolina’s US Senate seat).  Trump’s first pick for national security advisor, General Mike Flynn, has publicly endorsed Whatley’s opponent in the March primary.

Here’s Bannon on Friday’s edition of War Room:

“[…] But Whatley is not MAGA. One of the reasons he’s running so poorly in North Carolina. If you talk to the MAGA folks down there, they’re just not enthusiastic about it.” […]

Here’s the video:

Liars ranging from John Locke to the Raleigh & Charlotte legacy drive-bys have bent over backwards trying to present to their dwindling readership and viewership that (1) there is no GOP primary for US Senate and (2) Michael Whatley is invincible and inevitable.

Too bad the Harper Poll had to come out and blow that scam to smithereens.  The poll did two things: (1) confirmed that there is a choice for Republicans in the form of one Don Brown, and (2) Whatley AND Brown perform roughly the same in a head-to-head match with Cooper.

What makes (2) so extraordinary is that Whatley has been buried in million$ worth of funding from the state and national GOP and has benefited from oodles of logistical help from both of those entities.  Yet, he’s doing about as well as his opponent, Brown, who has been running on a shoe-string operation with NO party help. 

One would think this development creates a gaping hole for Brown to run through straight for the end-zone.  The BIG QUESTION: Will Brown recognize this opportunity and take advantage of it?
