Interesting take on Traitor Tot/Koch feud
Despite the atrocious writing/editing. I even had to chuckle at Jonah Goldberg's tweet. I love to see them eating their own.

Former Trump campaign CEO and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon also railed against the Koch network, telling that voters didn’t want free trade and the Koch brothers should “get with the program,” and adding, “We can have a theoretical discussion later, OK? This is why they don’t know what it means to win, OK?”
Conservative writer Jonah Goldberg responded on Twitter:
