Bannon to Kochs: ‘Shut up and get with the program’

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon tore into the powerful Koch political network Sunday, accusing it of undermining President Donald Trump ahead of a midterm election that threatens to derail his presidency.

“What they have to do is shut up and get with the program, OK?” Bannon said in an interview with POLITICO. “And here’s the program: Ground game to support Trump’s presidency and program, [and] victory on Nov. 6.”

Bannon’s comments came as the network of major Republican Party donors, led by billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, convened in Colorado Springs, Colorado to discuss the 2018 political landscape. During the retreat, top Koch officials described the Trump White House as toxic and destructive to the country.

They sharply criticized Trump's protectionist trade policies, arguing that his actions were taking a toll on the economy. A video shown during the conference depicted images of recently shuttered businesses.

1. Biting the hand that feeds him

That will go over well.

2. me to Bannon , Bourbon whiskey is going to kill you !

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. People with the kind of money the Kochs have don't appreciate being told

to "shut up and get with the program." The GOP has been sucking off the Koch teats for years and they can't afford to lose their funding. Being told to shut up and get with the program is not likely to motivate them to open their wallets again.

[TomSlick]

4. Oh, that will work.

Men like Charles Koch simply love being told what to do.

If needed:

[CentralMass]

5. Pardon me but f.ck the koch's. They got what they paid for.

[lastlib]

30. now let them pay for what they've gotten!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

6. Drunk again Bannon?

Alcohol often makes one feel they're invincible.

[poli-junkie]

7. Bannon's been working the sidelines

Even though Bannon is not in the White House anymore, he's actually had Trump's ear this whole time. I read recently Bannon is propping up the "Alt Right" / Nazi groups in Europe with speeches, etc. How come the MSM doesn't shine a light on this monster anymore??? He's been Trump's strategy guy all this time!!! I would love to know if Mueller has been tracking this freak.

[dalton99a]

10. Bannon, Stone, Lewandowski were officially "fired"

but they are still working for Trump and pushing his agenda. It's an old Trump trick

[grantcart]

8. I have heard of "working the refs" but working the owners?

He also forgot "and say thank you


Shut up
Get with the program
Write a check
And say thank you

[UTUSN]

9. Bwah-hah, the BannedOne is feeling the pinch!1

[randr]

11. The Koch baby is mad

The brothers have been turning their backs on the snake they have been feeding and are anout tp get bit.

[Blue_true]

18. What a cartoon strip that would be.

The Kochs feeding a little rattlesnake mice labeled Racial hatred, Corporate Bailouts, No NAFTA, Immigrants, making the snake fat and grow bigger. Then they turn their backs and say we aren't feeding you anymore, and the venom loaded snake bites them in the ass.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

12. I just about did a spit take there

The Kochs have the money and power to swat Bannon like a fly. Interpret that any way you want.

[DonCoquixote]

13. one thing

The Kochs have money:

They do not have Vladimir Putin Money,
and Steve is doign his very best to make the Ey a puppet.

Laugh, watch when food shortages happens thanks to brexit, and watch Russia come in like a hero.

[mr_lebowski]

33. Well, we don't know how much Putin has, really, but if Chuck and Dave were 1 person?

They'd be the richest person on Earth ... that we know of, per the Forbes list ...

[spooky3]

14. "Let's you and him (them) fight." nt

Keep talking, Bannon.

[donkeypoofed]

15. They're not going to care what Drunky-drunk Bannon has to say

[Leith]

25. They Can Just Deny the Fat Checks to All the Other Republicans

Once they feel the pinch, the rethug hoard will shut the drunk asshole up.

[Garrett78]

16. Excellent!

[defacto7]

17. What program?

[Initech]

21. Nazism 2.0: Electric Boogaloo Die Harder With A Vengeance

[Blue_true]

22. Bannon's program.

Hatred of immigrants, hatred of religious minorities, racial strife, attack on trade, isolationism.

The Kochs loved the tax cuts, they hate Trump's immigration actions, and his tariffs.

[Initech]

19. I'd rather Bannon and the Kochs both see programs inside prison.

[workinclasszero]

20. Congrats Koch bros

You have drunken fascists rolling out of the gutter giving you orders!

[Blue_true]

23. Frankenstine paying it's creator back. nt

[workinclasszero]

24. You got it!

[C_U_L8R]

26. Bannon doesn't realize he's the hired help

He'll be forced to atone.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Exactly. You don't tell the bosses to "get with the program."

[Kaleva]

27. Is Bannon relevant anymore? Freepers hate him.

[comradebillyboy]

29. Bannon vs the Kochs...who to root for

[Takket]

31. The iceberg

[oxbow]

32. Maybe they'll give MORE money to the Dems now..

..methinks that people with egos that big don’t like being told what to do

[CentralMass]

36. They buy politicians. They dont "give" money.

[SamKnause]

34. Fuck off and die Bannon !!!

Fuck off and die Kochs.

[Behind the Aegis]

35. I am sure he mispoke.

I think he meant "pogrom" not "program".

[maxrandb]

37. Fuck all this gaslighting shit

We need the Koch's to work their fucking asses off and spend tons of fucking money supporting Donnie Shit for Brains and the Russian National Committee.

We need them to buy thousands of adds and work like the fucking devil to elect Retrumplicans.

and then...WE NEED TO KICK THE EVER-LOVING PISS OUT OF THEM IN THE MIDTERMS!!

I want none of this "well, the Russian National Party lost because their donors abandoned Donnie Short Fingers" bullshit.

I want these fuckers to sit there on election day in their own "bile" and know that all their fucking money, all their corruption, all their deceit, all their Russian assistance, all their rat-fucking and all their self-fellating media network couldn't save them from the wrath of AMERICAN VOTERS

and then I want the Dems to tell them to; "go fuck yourselves with a First Edition, Hard Cover copy of Atlas Shrugged, you worthless pieces of amphibian shit!!!!

[OnDoutside]

38. You cannot be a Democrat and work with the Kochs. I bet they can see the tide is on the way out for

Republicans and are now choosing to buy some Dems, to block any expected attempt to re-institute the taxes that were given away by McConnell.
