Last night, Roy Moore pulled out a pistol and held it up in the air at a campaign rally. He was apparently trying to show how devoted he is to Alabamans’ Second Amendment Freedoms.
The rally drew appearances from Nigel Farage, the Duck Dynasty guy, and Steve Bannon.
Farage made reference to the growing violent ultra-left “Antifa” gangs, the building campaign to destroy American historical memory in the name of political correctness, and the ever-increasingly intolerant climate for free speech and “conservative ideals” on campus and in academia. But more dangerous to the populist-nationalist movement than any of these, Farage explained, are the establishment elements of “the right” epitomized by Luther Strange. He said:
There is a problem that is even greater than the violent left-wing protesters and their supporters who turn a blind eye to them in the liberal media. We have an even bigger problem out there and that problem are those people who in theory purport to support our aims and purport to support our views. Out problem is that so many people who are part of the conservative movement on both sides of the pond are, in fact, career politicians dominated by what is in their own interests. They know the closer they stay to the big banks and to the multi-national corporations, the less they offend some in the media, the better their own career prospects may be.

Steve Bannon also worked the crowd on Moore’s behalf, after Farage hailed him as the “greatest political thinker and activist in the western world today.” Bannon came out onto the wooden stage to a roar of applause while The Rolling Stones’ 60s hit tune, Street Fighting Man, blared over the PA system.
8:45: Bannon: DC Swamp “think you’re a pack of morons. They think you’re nothing but rubes.”
“You’re going to get an opportunity to tell them what you think of the elites that run the country,” he passionately says. “Remember, these are the same people that have tried to destroy Donald J. Trump from the first day he announced for office.”
8:41: Bannon asks why the world’s media is here today in Alabama. He says they are here because “tomorrow is going to decide who has sovereignty in the United States of America.” “Is it the elites in Washington, D.C. with their money” or voters in Alabama with their “muscle?” Bannon blasts Mitch McConnell as the leader of a “corrupt and incompetent” establishment. He says “your day of reckoning is coming” to people like Karl Rove, Ward Baker, and Steven Law who have spent millions trying to destroy Judge Moore. He says the elites know the “price of everything” and the “value of nothing.” He says they know the price of Luther Strange is $30 million. He says Strange sits there and “treats you like a bunch of fools.” Bannon says McConnell “owns him lock, stock, and barrel.”

Bannon urged the attendees to take a knee for Donald Trump and to
get down every night and thank God that Donald Trump is President of the United States.
