Josh Hawley tries to convince Steve Bannon hes conservative enough for Senate run
Source: KC Star
Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is courting former White House strategist Steve Bannon as he moves forward with his bid to challenge U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, according to sources close to both men.
Hawley is the top Republican recruit considering a run against McCaskill, a Democrat, in 2018.
Hawley and Bannon spoke after the Breitbart executive played a role in helping controversial candidate Roy Moore win the Alabama primary for Senate last month. Moore’s decisive defeat of incumbent Sen. Luther Strange, who had been backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, drove speculation that Bannon could wade into other Republican primaries, including in Missouri.
Hawley and Bannon spoke on the phone last week for an “introductory conversation” about “who he is, his vision,” according to a Missouri Republican who is close to Hawley. A source close to Bannon confirmed that account of the call.

Scrofulous pus pocket Steve gets to play kingmaker. Whoop-de-doo, hawley.
Just when you thought pukes couldn't get any more depraved.
In any sane country having Scrofulous Steve in your corner would be an automatic disqualifier.
