Bannon Rips Speaker Johnson For Passing 'Demonic Trash' NDAA
Steve Bannon was apoplectic after the House passed a version of the NDAA without all of the culture war nonsense in it the hard right wingers wanted. You love to see it. And he wasn't just crazed over it, he was ranting about how Mike Johnson was no Christian for facilitating the passage of the bill.
Can we just start by saying Steve Bannon wouldn't know Christ if he walked up and struck him speechless? Let's get real here. This is just a cynical effort to inflame the wingers who wanted all the anti-abortion, anti-diversity language in there so they could feel all righteous and stuff. Johnson, recognizing that NOT passing the NDAA was far worse than passing one without all the culture wars in it, got it done with Democrats' help and without all the crap language in it.
Bannon, being the cynical piece of shit that he is, decided to hammer Johnson with the Christian card.
"If you had the stones and the balls you could shut this thing down right now the NDAA just passed. It just passed," Bannon ranted. "This is Mike Johnson and don't tell me you're a Christian. I don't want to hear you're a Christian. Don't wear your faith."
And then he really launched into it.
"I don't hear more Bible verse when you've allowed the transgender -- you've allowed all that garbage, all that tra-- demonic trash throughout the defense budget that you wonder why...you can't get that you can't kids, you know red-blooded American boys and girls to get into the military?" Bannon was just warming up.
